Project 1: Postcard Assignment

You are to create a postcard of a place you are visiting. A little mini-vacation now that we are back for the semester. The place can be somewhere you have always wanted to go, a place you wish to revisit, or perhaps a place that does not yet even exist.

In the final project, you are to include at least one photograph of yourself, at least one image of the place you are visiting, incorporate the phrase "wish you were here" and be interacting or posing with an object not associated with your scene. (a large tulip in a museum, or a spaceship in a garden, or you are holding a horse, giraffe, truck, anything...be creative)

The postcards need to look like one singular image, that you actually look like you are on the Eiffel Tower holding the Statue of Liberty...

I want you to be creative and experiment!!!! You can make a collage of pieces of magazines to bring in to scan and use. You can combine aspects of three different cities to create a new super city.

Required for Monday August 30th: 10 -15 photos of yourself and 10-15 DIFFERENT possibilities for your scene. (bring in the magazines, books, photos, calendars, etc...you want to use and scan)
These are to be 5" x 7" or 7" x 5" at 300 dpi in both .psd and .jpeg formats...
You are to save one at 72 dpi and upload to your blog.
