Collages and photography
Timing: 3 to 5 hours
Project overview
To produce quality images for print, web, and video, students need to understand essential graphic design
principles and how digital images are created. Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended is an image-manipulation
tool that can help students analyse, enhance, and edit images. In this project, students learn the basics of
photography, image composition, and elements of visual design as they create a collage.
Students take photos and gather images from various sources, identifying elements of visual design that
reflect good composition. They use Photoshop to retouch and manipulate these photos and images to
build a collage. Through this process, they learn about copyright issues and document their learning by
using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
