Exercise01: Point, Line & Plane

The Steps

You'll need to do this in daylight between now and Wednesday's class. There will be extended lab time to work on this on Wednesday

  1. Explore our local environment with the phone in your camera (or any other photographic device), looking for surprising and intriguing visual examples of the three fundamental elements of design: Points, Lines, and Planes. Take as many as you find interesting, but bare in mind that you will need to select three of each type (point, line, plane) for the final images.
  2. Get the photos onto a local computer (email, facebook, twitter, iTunes, Google Drive, however you like).
  3. Choose the three best examples of each type and crop them in Photoshop to a 600px by 600px square and save them as .png's (I will demo)

  4. Name the files thusly: lastnamefirstinitial_point1.png, lastnamefirstinitial_line1.png, etc. Put all the files in a folder, name it lastnamefirstinital_ex01 and compress the folder (I will demo).
  5. Upload the compressed folder (lastnamefirstintial_ex01.zip) to the Uploads page for this exercise.
