Final Project Due Last Day of Class

For your final, you are to create:

a book of 15 or more images

-or-

A series of 15 prints in a photo box or portfolio book with slip in pages. (you can get these at AI Friedman)


Blurb Book should be 8x10" or larger
Adorama 8x8 or larger
If you make prints: must be 8x10 or larger

Both the book and the online portfolio must include at least 15 images. Or you can opt to present 10 (8x10 or larger) prints and one larger print (approx 20x30). You CAN use the same group of images for both online and print if you'd like. Please choose images you have shot recently (preferably this semester). They must be images that have been shot in RAW or very good hi-res scans of negatives. You must have used Photoshop in some way to edit every image you choose to include in the book. Book can be hard or soft cover book. At least 8x10 inches (or 8x8 if you use Adorama).

* Pay special attention to the sequence of the images. Think about adding chapters or sections to organize your book if necessary. Caption info/text is optional. Be sure to include your name and contact info in each portfolio, and a project title if necessary. This series of images should go together in some way. There needs to be a cohesive theme or underlying story of your choosing.

In addition- each student MUST submit their 15 images digitally, as hi-res JPGs.
