An Introduction to Raster Graphics
P2 Instructions
You should have completed the two P1s for your theme . The remaining part of the theme is the project (P2) . The project requires you to submit two short posts to Moodle outlining your planned project, build the project, attend a show and tell session to demonstrate your project, and write a report describing your project and your experiences .
The time line is:
1. Think about what you want to do for a P2 Project.
2. Post a one paragraph statement of your proposed P2 project
First theme — end of week 4 (A & B), middle of week 2 (Summer) . Second theme — end of week 10 (A & B), middle of week 5 (Summer) .
The idea of this statement is to show that you are underway with your project, and to share your idea for critique. The paragraph should broadly outline the work you are planning (which option are you considering, what is the overall intention for the image , what tools will you use, and broadly how will you approach the construction .
Add your statement to the Photoshop theme discussion in Moodle . You should consider the postings from your classmates and comment on the suitability/feasibility of their choices. Be prepared to defend your choice . (Remember, part of your assessment is based on your contributions) .
3. Post an outline of the design for your project publications
First theme — middle of week 5 (A & B), end of week 2 (Summer) . Second theme — middle of week 11 (A & B), end of week 5 (Summer) .
The idea of the outline is to show that you are working satisfactorily, and to show your project design. Your outline should include:
• what option have you chosen
• who is your target audience
• what do you want the audience to get from the imagen
• a description of your intended image (general layout, effects you intend to use, etc) .
• a description of how you intend to manipulate your image (necessary layers, breakdown of pieces, use of masks or other techniques)
• an estimate of time required to implement the P2 project and write the report; and a costing for that time .
Note: In regard to the last point, given your project outline , we want you to estimate the time it will take you to implement the project, and the time it will take to write the report. hen tell us what you think the completed project would cost, i.e . what would you pay if you were asking someone to make it for you, or conversely, what would you charge to make it for someone else?
You should consider the postings from your classmates and comment on any problems you perceive in their designs. Discuss any feedback.
4. Spend the remaining weeks of the theme working on your project. Remember to record the time that you spend working on the project.
5. Sign up for and attend a show and tell session
First theme — during week 7 (A & B), end of week 3 (Summer) .
Second theme — during study week (A & B), end of week 6 (Summer) .
The ‘show and tell’ session is to demonstrate and explain your P2 project. Show and tell sessions will be held separately for each theme, and you will need to reserve a space in a session before they start. Check Moodle for the session times and how to sign up for a session .
6. Write up a brief (no more than four pages) report that summarises your publication design and the design process for Part B of the project. Emphasis should be given to your consideration of the design problems and your outcomes. i.e. justify why you came up with the design you did. The 'what' should be there primarily to illustrate the 'why'. When you write the report, record the time spent writing.
Reflect on the process in your report. How did you find the software to use? How successful was your project? Relate this to some reflection on the material you covered in the P1 modules (what you thought was good and bad, and consider the feedback from the Moodle discussion) . What have you learned from the experience? Compare your time estimates from your outline with your actual time spent. Discuss any discrepancies .
7. After your ‘show & tell’ presentation, submit your report and any other files requested by the marker at your presentation into Moodle .
8. The report must be handed in at the end of the show and tell week First theme — end of week 7 (A & B), end of week 3 (Summer) . Second theme — end of study week (A & B), end of week 6 (Summer) . .
Photoshop P2 Options
Introduction to Raster Graphics P2
This P2 project applies the material you explored in the Introduction to Raster Graphics module . This module is in two parts . You are to carry out one of the options to meet the ‘brief’ below . Then you are to prepare a report describing the processes you utilised, and explaining why you produced the solution you did.
The illustration is to be created in Adobe Photoshop CC , and the report is to be prepared using either Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word. You will present and discuss your illustration at a Show & Tell session .
Part A:
This will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the practical techniques. Choose ONE of the following options:
1) Image compilation/restoration: The file BOATBLUR.JPG is a digitised glass plate negative of very poor quality. The file BOATBLR2.JPG is from another scan of the same negative. Using these images produce a good quality restoration of all or part of the scene .
2) Image restoration: The file HANDC.JPG is a digitised image from a damaged glass plate negative of a horse and cart passing some shops. Generate a good quality restoration of the whole scene .
3) Montage: The files in the folder MONTAGE1.ZIP and MONTAGE2.ZIP contain pictures of adjacent areas of a scene . Choose one set of photos and combine the images to produce a smooth panoramic scene .
Specification
The project should demonstrate/ include the following:
• Illustrate the use of a variety of the Photoshop tools and techniques
• Have consistency and a reasonable level of complexity
• Have appropriate adjustments
• Be a single consistent realistic scene
It should not be necessary to use anything other than the supplied materials . The content must be your own work unless it is limited amount of material (in which case the source must be suitably cited in your report) . Any other material you base your work on (like tutorials) must also be suitably referenced.
Please note that the University does not condone plagiarism and if it is determined you have made unacknowledged use of another persons work action will be taken under the University's discipline regulations (see the University calendar)
The final image presented is a high-res PDF (min 300dpi suitable for printing). You are also to submit your un-flattened Photoshop files .
Part B:
Part A has shown that you can generate a realistic result by modifying images in Photoshop — part B is to demonstrate your understanding of the process of designing the workflow and creating that realistic image .
You are to write a report summarising your project design and the work process . Emphasis should be given to your consideration of the design problems and your outcomes . i.e . justify why you came up with the solution you did. The 'what' should be there primarily to illustrate the 'why'. Use your design documents (sketches, etc) and screen-shots to illustrate your report. Relate this to some reflection on the material you covered in the P1 modules (what you thought was good and bad, and consider any feedback from Moodle) .
The report must include a comparison of the time estimates from your outline with the actual recorded time working on the project and writing the report. Comment on any differences, including reasons why the estimate varied from the time used. Based on this experience, how would you produce a better time estimate for future projects? Compare your finished product with your estimate of its worth from your outline . Do you think that it is worth what you proposed paying/charging? If not, give a new cost for what was actually created. Use this new cost and the number of hours you worked on it to calculate your ‘hourly wage’ for the project. Comment on whether this is a good wage?
The report should be 1000-2000 words (at least one page, to around four word-processed text pages), plus screenshots, diagrams, and attachments .
What to hand in:
Submission is electronic via Moodle . You are to hand in:
• your report (pdf or word document)
• your Photoshop and PDF files
• bring a printed version of your final image to the show & tell.
(Flexi students may be expected to submit the print via mail – check with your marker at the show & tell)
