EU: A photographer captures strong photographs by learning to see things differently. The viewpoint, the light, etc all have an impact on the photos that you take and the ability to see a photo opportunity that you maybe wouldn't recognize before.
EQ: How can you look at an every day object or scene in a different light?
Assignment: Everyday objects contain shapes that mimic the letters of the alphabet. I want you to capture all 26 letters of the alphabet starting with a class scavenger hunt and finishing up over the weekend. All images should be ready to go by the start of next week for editing and posting to your blog.
Steps:
1. Get outside and start taking images of objects that resemble letters. Go in close or crop later!
2. Get as many as you can during class but finish for homework so that you have more photo opportunities. You may not use real letterforms!
3. Print and pass in a contact sheet of 26+ images and label each letter on the CS for me so that I know you have found them all.
4. Choose 3 words to spell over 4 letters each
5. Design 3 separate Photoshop documents with each letter filling a 4x6 vertical frame (size of document depends on your words)
6. Drop in each letter and edit to achieve your desired result. Contrast is a must here in order for the letter to stand out! Think light vs. dark.
7. Save all as JPEG's and upload to blog with a short reflection on the assignment.
