What to work on today?

Continue work on your video.

Portrait Assignment: (marks 30) If you are doing a location shoot this may not be possible. So maybe you can research posing and plan your model and location. If you have done your shoot,you can edit. If you are doing your portraits at school, find someone to photograph and get busy. There are lots of places to shoot around the school. ( skatepark, woods, garage door near the soccer clubhouse, metal storage containers on the soccer fields. ) See details for this assignment below.

Magazine Cover Assignment: (marks 20) If you have already done this assignment in grade 11 last year then you should choose a cd cover. Or if you would prefer to do a cd cover then go ahead. The magazine cover requires you to take a vertical photo that is at a very high quality, and using photoshop you are to create the cover of a magazine. You should include: a bar code, the title of the magazine in the proper font, article titles etc. I should be able to look at the cover of your magazine and think it is a real magazine. 20 marks You should print out and also add to Flickr.
CD cover: The idea of this assignment is to duplicate an actual CD cover as close as possible using your own model and Photoshop skills. See example below. The real cover is on the left. Strangely, the boy on the right looks a lot like the actual recording artist.

Conceptual Photography: Begin doing some research on conceptual photography. This assignment will be introduced in detail tomorrow along with a small written assignment. Stay posted.
