Montage

Using the locational photos you took over spring break, make a montage. You should use a minimum of six photos. You may use a photo for the background or just a solid color, gradient, or pattern. Make sure the background does not compete with the smaller pictures you place in the foreground. You may want to adjust the contrast on the background to very light or very dark, or use grayscale or a color wash on the background, to make the foreground photos stand out. See me if you need help with any of these techniques.

Your smaller pictures that you use in the foreground should have unity in theme, color, or pattern. Each photo (layer) should have some special effect like 'dropshadow' or 'beveled edge'. Make sure the photos "flow" and are not disconnected from one another visually. Try not to use any set pattern for the placement of the smaller photos.

Your montage should include the text of your choice and your name. Do something special with the lettering as well!

When you have finished, leave your 8x10 montage in the completed assignments folder with your ID number. This is due on Thursday, April 4th. Do a good job!
