Guidelines:
Using objects and materials from home, or from the library swatch room, create composition on a flatbed scanner. Scan construction and save. Adjust manually until your happy with arrangements. Adjust further in Photoshop if desired, and print (good to high quality). Save your project to disc or to a jump drive. The saved document must be submitted to the instructor along with the paper hard copy.
Tips and Techniques:
Choose at least 3 objects/material swatches.
Consider adding a background to unify the arrangement or scan as-is.
Experiment with flat and volumetric objects to see how they scan.
Consider using text, flowers, boxes, crumpled up bags, items with distinct and
interesting texture, color and value contrast. Look at the following examples for
inspiration.
Execution must be designer-level, mature and professional.
