---

Learning Targets:

Students will be able to independently demonstrate the use of the selection tools by creating an image with themselves and various other objects.

---

 Agenda:

This is a photo creation of your own choosing, as long as it is school appropriate (i.e. no nudity, weapons, drug and alcohol references).

1. We will discuss the expectations as a class for the Fictitious Reality Project via the directions/expectations posted on the blog.
2. Students will create a document that is 16×24 or vice versa for the starting point of their project- set the resolution to 300.
3. Go to File>>New, then enter the dimensions 16×24 or 24×16, make sure you select “inches” rather than “pixels”
4. Go to File>>Place.
5. Select the background image you wish to use.

• Is the photo clear and not pixelated? If so, move on to the next step.
• Try searching for desktop background images as they are usually saved at a higher resolution.
• Some images are copyright protected. If you are unable to save the image, try finding another one that is available to download for free.

6. Go to file>>Place and place all of the elements you want to use. They will be placed on their own layer.

OR:

Method 1: Drag and Drop from folder location.

Step 1 – Open Adobe photoshop with the background.
Step 2 – Open the folder of your image located. Drag the image from the folder directly into the Photoshop.
Step 3 – Your image will become a smart object and a layer on top of background will create automatically.

Method 2: Drag and Drop from other photoshop tab.

Step 1 – Open the photoshop with your original background.
Step 2 – Open the image you want to put on top of the background using photoshop. Now there are two tabs inside the adobe photoshop.
Step 3 – At the tab of the image you need to put on top the background, drag its layer and drop at the background tab.

Method 3: Copy and Paste

Step 1 – Open the image you want in photoshop.
Step 2 – Press Ctrl + A at the keyboard to select all the image.
Step 3 – Paste(Ctrl + V) at the background tab where the original background you have.

7. Right click on the layer each layer and select “Rasterize.”

8. To change the size of an object, click on the layer.  Navigate to the top menu bar click EDIT>>FreeTransform.  You can then change the size per your needs.                  When you are satisfied, press ENTER on your keyboard.

You will now use the selection tools to select a HEAD TO TOE shot of yourself as well as your other objects.

9. Save your file as LAST NAME FR.psd

10. When finished, please save your project as a jpeg.

11. Take separate  screen shot of the layers and include it in the same post

12. Title: Fictitious Reality Project

• You may use any of the selection tools you wish, as long as it works for what you are trying to accomplish. After selecting, you will take your move tool, and drag your selected element to the background image.

---

Success Criteria:

• My project has a background image.
• I have placed FIVE other elements that have been “cut” from other photos (i.e., an apple, monkey, car, other people, etc.)

Learning Target: Students will independently complete THREE PS text tutorials of their choice.

---

 Agenda:

Photoshop can be a powerful tool that professionals can use to create powerful works of art.  These pieces can appear complex, but with knowledge of Photoshop and a well-written tutorial, they can be created by students and those who are in the beginning or intermediate stages of their careers with great success. You will use the internet to locate THREE text based tutorials that are of interest to you.

If you can answer “yes” to the following, you may proceed with completing your tutorial:

1. Is the focus of the image text?

1. Is it different from the exercises and projects we have done in class?

1. Does the tutorial use Photoshop and not another Adobe product (i.e., InDesign or Illustrator)?

1. Did you read over the directions?

1. Can you understand them?

Please Note:

Disregard the size requested by the tutorial.  Instead, make your document 10 inches by 8 inches. You may select the colors, fonts, etc. of your choice. The tutorial must be your first, middle, last name, or any combination of the three… NOT the word that is in the tutorial.

When DONE:

1. If you can answer “yes” to the following questions, you may do a screen shot of your image with the layers palette, and post to your blog (individually):

• Does the text contain your real first or last name or both?
• Is it creative?
• Is it neat?
• Did you put forth your best effort?

1. Additionally, you will need to fully answer the questions below for EACH project using complete sentences.

Essential Question(s):

1. What did you enjoy most about the text tutorial you chose?

1. What did you like the least?

1. What would you do differently if you had to repeat the tutorial?
