Due Date: April 5
After learning to master a variety of Adobe tools and strategies for creating everything from layers, to shapes, to using filters, effects, and manipulating paths, it is time to take all of your knowledge and put it to good use. For this assignment, you are literally the star of the show. It is your job to create something totally unique,...in the form of a Graphic Image (postcard, meme, slide, etc) In fact, you will design two different (unique) Graphic images.
Both images must be 4 inches x 6 inches in size, whether vertical (tall) or horizontal (wide). Set the resolution at 150Watch this video on Layers in Photoshop! Watch this video on "Extrapolation" for Photoshop, using the Pen Tool!

Objective | No | Yes |
Were two Graphic Images designs sketched? | 0 | 2 |
Were two different photographs taken, extrapolated, and then used in the finished design? | 0 | 2 |
Were at least four Photoshop filters used? Was evidence of the filters provided? | 0 | 2 |

Was Image Trace used (somehow) in both Graphic Images? | 0 | 2 |
Was Paste Into function used in both Graphic Images? | 0 | 2 |
Were two artboards used for the final PDF document (using 4x6 vertically and horizontally) with embedded images of the finished Graphic Images? | 0 | 2 |
Total Points (x2) | 36 |
