For this assignment, I want you to use one of your own photos to create a digital illustration of it. The photo can be a portrait, landscape, or still life. You will be adding illustrative elements to one of your photos that accent the design. If you want to simply create a linear drawing of your image that is fine too, or you can keep the original image and simply add illustrations to it. If you are comfortable adding value feel free to experiment with that.

Use a clear portrait photo to add illustration to it in any style or pattern you choose by contouring around the parts of the face. We will be using the brush tools and the paint bucket tool to begin illustration. You will also be using the stylus pens and Wacom tablets for this project.
Using Photoshop and some of your own photos along with some animal photos from Morguefile.com you will create a double exposure image of a person and their spirit animal. I encourage you to play around with several adjustments and filters to alter the color schemes of both photos. Students will also need to add some layers with patterns or other images or textures to further develop their composition and enhance their images. IF you are comfortable experimenting with the drawing or painting tools you can add hand drawn elements in your composition. Start by opening an image of someone you know. Then try to find an animal using the website below that match the personality and/or pose of your person. To insert another picture on top of your original image, create a new layer, go up to FILE and down to PLACE EMBEDDED. You can change the opacity on the Layers page to make the animal layer more transparent. You could also erase the background of the animal so it's not present as much. See some examples below. The following websites have images you can use safely without copyright issues from online: morguefile.com search.creativecommons.org |
