The ability to restore damaged memories is an invaluable tool.
With this assignment, you will each be assigned a photo from the list below. Make sure you do the one assigned to you. The specific photo assignments will be handed out on 3/10 | 3/11 during class. If you are absent or late, don’t just pick a photo as if it isn’t the one I have asigned you then you will have not completed the assignment and will have earned an “F”. Please contact me via email if you need clarification on which photo you were assigned to.
You are to restore the photograph to the best state possible. These photos are from way before any of us were born, so I understand they weren’t perfect photos even when they were first developed. Please do the best you possibly can based on the original photograph. You are also to color the photograph using realistic colors. These photos are from Germany during the World War 2 era, so it might be in your best interest to research the time period to come up with an accurate color pallate.
You are to use Photoshop to the best of your abilities. Use what you have learned, research new techniques, and rely on your classmates. If you have a technical question please resort to your book and the internet before asking me. This doesn’t mean I won’t help you, I just want you to get in the habit of researching a problem before asking for help.
TIP – The healing brushes and the clone tool will be your best friends during this project. Remember when colorizing the photograph to use your blending modes and opacity. Also remember to work on new layers, as if you want to make a change it won’t affect all of your work if you don’t want it to… and name your layers!
Grading for this project will be as follows – 60% of your grade will be based on the realism of the final image / 25% will be on how well you restored the image / 15% will be how you follow the directions of the project.
Final size – 5 x 7 (or 7 x 5) / 300 dpi / rgb
Presentation – This will be a digital presentation only, you will not need to print and mount.
due: Oct 20 or Oct 21 (no progress crit for this project)
