Electronic Imaging – My Boyfriend Came Back From the War – Remix

barryjones — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:24:04 +0000

Your final presentation will be to create a PowerPoint/Keynote nonlinear project based on the internet phenomenon My Boyfriend Came Back from the War. You will use your own symbolic images to create an innovative visual vocabulary that communicates your own version of My Boyfriend Came Back from the War based on your experience or opinions of our country’s current war. You can use images you find online or existing photographs, but you must Photoshop tools to alter these images and create new images for this project. The final presentation will be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation in which the individual parts of the project lead to different parts of the presentation. You will be creating a non-linear narrative. .

Sketches and flow charts due on Nov. 17 and 18

seven deadly sins – electronic imaging

barryjones — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:27:42 +0000

Objectives:
1) Create a multilayer mysterious symbolic image that illustrates one of the ‘Sevens’.
2) Create an innovative visual vocabulary that communicates your ideas.
3) Work in Photoshop with layers and other tools to create the image.

Guidelines:
- Find one of the ‘Seven’ sins that you would like to explore in this project.
- Research the idea based on the The Seven Deadly Sins.
- Start gathering digital images that create a symbolic vocabulary to illustrate your idea. You may use stock imagery if you must, but it must be altered in a significant fashion. If you have the means, I would like you to consider taking the photos yourself.
- Create a multilayer image with depth and mystery in Photoshop.
- Do NOT use any text without checking with me first. See if you can create the idea with images instead of relying on text to send the message.
- A portion of the image MUST be in black and white.

Grading for this project will be as follows – 85% of your grade will be based on the final image / 15% will be how you follow the directions of the project.

Final size – a minimum of 5 x 5 / 300 dpi / rgb
Presentation – This will be a digital presentation only, you will not need to print and mount.

Progress Crits on November 3 and 4

Research Presentation Guidelines – Electronic Imaging

barryjones — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:58:13 +0000

Research Presentation

Present an informative overview of the work of your assigned designer/new media artist and the impact of their work.

- A Powerpoint or Keynote presentation with five to ten+ images showing examples of their work.

- 21 copies of a one page overview to turn in to me and your colleagues with an extra page of examples of their work.

Requirements and Considerations

- Five to ten+ (give yourself time to talk about their work) good quality images/movies to project with your presentation. Image size should be close to 1024 pixels x 768 pixels at 72 dpi. You will probably not be able to find many images online that fit this requirement. If you resort to web images, make sure that we can tell what we are looking at. Additional detail scans of images might be helpful. If you can find actual hard copy examples of a persons work, you are encouraged to bring that in for your presentation as well.

- Powerpoint should be used to present your images. However, treat Powerpoint as an image projecting application. I have no interest in glitzy backgrounds, bullet points, and silly transitional animations.

- This presentation should cover some basic information about who this person is, but should not be an exhaustive biography. Although basic personal information is helpful, your presentation should focus on the person’s work. Can their style be categorized? Is their work still relevant? Does their work feel dated? How do you relate/respond to their work? etc.

- Remember, proper grammar and spelling is expected for all written assignments.

Presentations begin on Nov. 12 and 13
