40441 6:30 –9:30 PM Instructor: Adriene Hughes |
| OBJECTIVE | This course is designed to familiarize the digital and film photographer to all introductory phases of digital data transfer, workflow, and photographic manipulation with the use of Photoshop CS4, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom. No photography assignments will be given though you are expected to bring on a weekly basis photographs to apply towards these applications. It is my suggestion to be familair with the syllabus, know what applications will be taught each week, and bring in images that could use "help" in that particular direction. |
| ATTENDANCE | Attendance is mandatory. Lectures and demonstrations will occur throughout each class meeting. Because of this, arriving in a timely fashion is necessary. Lectures and demonstrations will not be repeated. |
| GRADING | Grading
is based on, but not limited to: participation in class, technical
ability, personal progress / improvement, and creative innovation.
Personal progress and improvement will be based on each individual
and not based on the class as a whole. Attention will be focused on
producing a final portfolio. A class critique by both Students and
Instructor will take place on the last day of instruction. The final
portfolio will consist of six (6) 8 x 10” images of your choosing
from the weekly manipulations. |
| EQUIPMENT and TEXTBOOK | This
course requires the use of digital photographic files. They may be
produced on a film SLR, a DSLR or a Point-and-Shoot by any manufacturer.
You
will also need a USB thumb drive to bring all of your photographic
files into class with you. You can also use an external firewire or
USB drive that is PC formatted. Unfortunately we are using a PC lab,
so drives that are MAC formatted will not work. |

is the CS4 Interface? HOMEWORK: 1. make a picture-in-picture
as learned in class (tutorial
in case you need to review) and upload
it to the UCSD Digital Darkroom flickr page. 2. Make a diptych from
two images that compare and contrast a scene. Examples

FINAL ASSIGNMENT |
Assignment
for FINAL WEEK: Produce six (6) images from the above assignments.
Your challenge is to apply your post-production abilities and TWEEK those
images so that they meet acceptable results. Please make six before/after
sets so that we may see your digital process work in diptych format. Each
image must be printed no smaller than 8x10”,
but it would be best to print larger. I am leaving size
up to you, the photographer. Please mount each photograph on mount
board. |
