    Project 2: Focus on Line

    In this project we will focus our attention on compositional aspects of line in nature as well as man made lines. We will look at examples that utilize line as the primary design element to make the piece successful. We will also look at series of lines, which create patterns as well as other qualities of line such as direction and structure. You may wish to use these other qualities to strengthen your composition. For example, you may want to use perspective so your pattern recedes into the distance, suggesting direction, or you may find a series of small patterns contained in a larger one, creating structure.

    Spoiler for Examples:






    Assignment
    Using at least two optimized images, open each file in Photoshop and perform the following:
    1. You can either take the photos with your own camera (preferred), or you may choose to find them on the internet.
    2. Optimize/enhance imagery.
    3. Select/all, edit/copy, file/new, OK, edit/paste.
    4. Under image/canvas size of the new document, double the width and height, select OK.
    5. Edit/paste another image onto the canvas, push ctrl and t at the same time to rotate the picture while holding the shift key. Select the move tool in the control palette, and select apply when done.
    6. Go back to the original and go to image/rotate canvas/flip horizontal. Select all/edit copy.
    7. Edit paste onto the big document. Move this into place. Edit paste a duplicate onto the canvas; push ctrl and t at the same time to rotate the picture while holding the shift key. Select the move tool in the control palette, and select apply when done.
    8. Selecting the appropriate layer, and using the arrow keys, please move each section into place.
    9. When done, please go to image/image size, and make sure that the document size is approximately 3.5”x5” and then recrop the image.
    10. Post below and I will do my best to provide feedback to your images.


    To Optimize an image you must, Crop, Adjust Levels, and sharpen if needed (sharpen if you scanned an image. Filter/Sharpen/Sharpen). First go to File/Open, Image/Adjustments/Levels. Here you will see a graph that represents the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) or Black (K) values. Select the appropriate channel, and slide the sliders to where the information starts.

    Yeah, now if only we could get people to actually get involved with your tutorials; that'd be pretty great.
