The document provides instructions for a self-portrait assignment in a graphic design class. Students are asked to create a self-portrait collage in Photoshop addressing questions about their identity and incorporating a word that describes themselves using images and text. The document outlines daily objectives, questions for students to consider answering in their design, and steps for cutting out letters of a word from an image to include in the collage.
2. Daily Objectives
• I will be able to outline the important events in
my life using a sequencing map.
• I will be able to create a self-portrait that
answers the question, "Who am I?" using
Photoshop and previous reflections.
3. Remember to answer the following
questions in your design:
• Who am I?
• What are the distinctive things
that make me "me"?
• How do I want people to see me?
• How can I express my many
different sides?
• How can I reinvent myself for
various purposes or times in my
life?
• How am I changing from day to
day or year to year?
• Who do I want to become?
4. ART
Look at how this image
combines images in a collage
with letters that make up a
word.
You need to come up with a
word that best describes you
as a person and incorporate it
into your collage. Your
images need to have a unified
look to them. You might use
the hue/saturation tool to get
this unified look. The letters
of your word should look
intentional in the design like
this example.
5. A
R T
1. Consider using individual letters.
2. Think about cutting out images to
fit in the shape of the letters.
3. Or maybe a word cut out of an
image is better…
6. Cutting a Word Out of an Image
Open your image in Photoshop.
7. Type your word using big, bold letters on a separate layer.
8. Use your magic wand tool to select the letters (on the text layer).
