Final Portfolio Project

Due Date: January 10, 2007
Format: PowerPoint
Criteria: Students will produce a 22 slide PowerPoint presentation highlighting their best work in Digital Photography I. It will include a title slide and a final slide containing an honor statement as well as the following photos (in order):
1-Exterior Architecture or Architectural Detail—man-made structure should be the primary focus
2-Landscape, Student’s choice (“calendar shot”—the goal is beauty)
3-Black and White of Student’s choice
4-Macro photo
5-Nature shot
6-Candid photo of school life
7-Posed Portrait
8-Student’s best collage
9-A Montage
10-Photo which shows action/movement
11-Backlit close-up photo
12-Backlit Landscape
13-Family/Relationship-themed collage
14-Unique photo showing creativity—student’s choice of subject matter
15-Still Life photo of food/beverage
16-Student’s choice of photo showing use of a creative filter
17-A Vignette
18-Metaphor Self-Portrait Still Life (not collage!)
19-Field Trip photo (Elizabethan Gardens or Butterfly Garden)
20-Created artwork from a photo or photos showing student’s best use of PhotoShop tools

Title and end slide should show similar design features. End slide will be the honor code stipulating that you took all photos personally and during the fall semester. Use transitions and animation on your slides, but do not automate your slide show. You may label the slides, but it is not required. Make sure the text enhances your work, not detracts from it.

Note: A PhotoShop canvas size of 10 inches wide by 7.5 inches high is the equivalent of a PowerPoint slide. Each photo will be graded individually on effort, creativity, imagination, and technical skills. Do not submit photos with serious photographic errors such as red eyes, out-of-focus, underexposed or overexposed, etc. This project will make up a large percentage of your final grade. Do a good job! The ABSOLUTE DEADLINE for this project is Wednesday, January 10th. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS PROJECT! If you are absent on Wednesday, your project will be due at the beginning of class on Thursday--no exceptions! We will begin presentations on Thursday.
