Independent Practice: Adjustment Layers - PhotoShop
The Adjustment Layers in Photoshop are a group of a super useful, non-destructive image editing tools that add color and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing its pixels.
With the adjustment layers, you can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time. This will make your workflow in Photoshop more flexible and efficient, and is an absolute must-know.
For this assignment, you are going to show me a picture with all 16 of the adjustments.

Guided Practice: Warhol Project
You are going to paint several renditions of a picture of yourself and arrange it in a grid. A famous artist that used this technique to develop pop art advertising is Andy Warhol. We are going to mimic this technique to create an original, personal piece of art.
As a class we will do the tutorial first with the football player, then you are to do the same steps but with your picture.
First you will take your picture. You will apply a filter inside Photoshop to make it look like a black and white sketch, then use your selection and coloring techniques to create the Warhol effect. Remember to use bright colors!
As you work, save your project as a .psd and name it lastname + warhol.psd. When you are finished, save it as a JPEG with the same name (ex: turnerwarhol.jpg).

Independent Practice - Gradient Layer Mask Project
You have been hired as a graphic designer by Showcase Advertising Agency. They want to create two advertisements for upcoming events.
Use the directions from the Gradient Mask (Mozart) tutorial that demonstrates how to use gradients with a layer mask to create 2 advertising ads of different events of your choice. Create a new document 720 x 480 pixels in size. Find 3 images that relate to your event topic. Decide which image will be your background and move it onto the new document. Then move the other 2 images onto the background and blend the 3 images together using layer masks with gradient. Remember to be careful not to show the edges of the other images. Then create the transparency on the white title bar at the bottom and add an original catchy slogan to go with your ad.

Independent Practice: FILTERS PROJECT
For this practice project, you will extend your knowledge about filters by applying nine new effects to a black and white photo. Arrange them in a 3 X 3 grid similar to the Warhol Project by extending the canvas and placing each image in its spot.
When you have finished the project, save it as a .PSD file and name it lastname + filters. Save it as a JPEG with the same name (ex: turnerfilters.JPG). Submit the JPEG file using the form above.
