Assignment #10


Portrait Lighting

This assignment is intended to build a basis of understanding of the intentional use of light in design.  We have discussed three basic types of single-source lighting:

-Rim Lighting
-Rake Lighting
-Front Lighting

Post 3 EXCELLENT examples (taken by you) for each of these types of light sources.  Each image must be clear, well composed, black and white, posted on your blog and linked to our class blog.

Assignment #9

and so it begins.....first draft, first site.

Before building a framework, ask:  What am I communicating?
   -ideas?
   -artwork?
   -products?
   -photos?
   -service?
   -resume?
   -alterego?

This is a first draft of a year-long process of polishing the diamond of your idea!

Post the link to your first draft HTML site.  No need for bells and whistles (yet!)

Due this week.
