Assignment (5 points):

Please pick a theme and create an image (width: 650px and height: 200px) as the modified image in the example. Requirements:

  • At least 5 layers, including a background layer (0.5 point);
  • All the layers should have transparent background (except the background layer). This means: an image should not have a white background. For example, my violin had a white background when I downloaded it. I have to take the violin out of the white background before inserting it to the my new image (1 point);
  • Make a border for the image (0.5 point);
  • Some layers are overlapping (0.5 point);
  • Some layers are transparent to a certain degree (0.5 point);
  • Apply a gradient to a layer (1 point);
  • Create a text layer where you give a title for this image and sign you initial (you may have one or two layers for this – 0.5 point);
  • Apply layer styles, such as Drop Shadow, Bevel and Emboss, Inner Grow, or Outer Grow (0.5 point);

I am looking forward to your creative designs!

***When you are done, please

  1. save it as a .psd file format and upload it to the Blackboard under Assignments > Week9 (If you are using downloaded version of Photoshop CS6 from adobe.com, please save your work as CS5 before uploading it to the Blackboard).
  2. save it as a .jpg file format and insert it to your week9 page (as the example). Please add a link of this page on the Spry menu bar of your week6 page (which is the front page linked to our class blog).
  3. indicate in a few sentences either on your finished week9 page or on the Blackboard where you have applied your layer styles.
