AO7 - Evaluate Photographic Portfolio

• Evaluate your work in terms of fitness for purpose and quality.

• Compare your work with that of professional photographers.

• In your evaluations use correct terminology and refer to the photographic and editing techniques you have learned about in Unit 10.

AO6 Porfolio

Within a powerpoint presentation:

Get some feedback about your edited and unedited photographs.

Put the feedback in a presentation along with the edited and unedited photographs.

Annotate the images with descriptions of the editing techniques used saying why you used those techniques.

In a separate document:

Describe in detail the issues involved in printing images.

Look at paper quality, printer settings DPI, print size and quality.

AO5 - Complex image manipulation

Look at the work of some influential photographers. There are some examples in the shared area.

The idea of AO5 is that you edit your images to emulate the work of one of these photographers.

You should end up with at least two different images that are edited in a creative and imaginative way.

Choose a range of the photos you have taken or collected in this unit and edit them using some of the techniques below:

•  adding effects, eg morphing, using filters,layers, masks, paths
•  photo enhancements
• juxtaposition and superimposition of images and text multiple images
•   photo restoration eg noise removal, lasso, feathering, cloning,
• healing and correcting patches

• palettes

• changing colour balance

• sharpening and softening

• changing contrast

AO4 - Basic image manipulation

Use some of the photographs you have collected or taken and carry out ALL of the following techniques using Photoshop:

• sizing images, cropping and scaling

• changing resolution

• adjusting image colour attributes, saturation

• rotating, straightening

• brightness, contrast

• some built-in effects e.g. embossing, pencil/charcoal sketches

 

There is a help sheet in the shared area which demonstrates each of the techniques.






 

 

 

AO3 - Investigate a range of different sources of images

Task 1

Collect a range of different images from sources such as:

1. Internet
2. Internet image library
3. Other sources-  on internet images that can be scanned.
4. Intranet image library - (college shared area)

Organise these images:

From the images you collect you will choose a selection to be edited and used to create an image for AO4 and AO5 so choose them carefully.


The final image you will make will be based on the style of a well known photographer such as Rankin.

Investigate the work of a professional photographer in preparation for this.

Unit 10 - AO5 Complex image manipulation

Look at the work of a professional phorographer and edit your own images in a style that emulates their work.

Use a range of editing techniques such as:

• adding effects, eg morphing, using filters, layers, masks, paths

• photo enhancements

• juxtaposition and superimposition of images and text

• multiple images

• photo restoration eg noise removal, lasso, feathering, cloning,

healing and correcting patches

• palettes

• changing colour balance

• sharpening and softening

• changing contrast

AO6 - Present photographs in a portfolio

Get some feedback about your edited and unedited photographs.

Put the feedback in a presentation along with the edited and unedited photographs.

Annotate the images with descriptions of the editing techniques used saying why you used those techniques.

Describe in detail the issues involved in printing images. Look at paper quality, printer settings DPI, print size and quality.
