In our PhotoGraphic Truth Project we were told to choose a real world event. We had to choose 6 pictures of that event and include ourselves in it. We had to do it as realistic as possible. Our pictures had to be 7 inches by 5 inches or 5 inches by 7 inches. After we were done with PhotoShop we had to print the images and cut them out. Then we had to create a layer of an white poster that as 30 in by 22 in. Then we had to paste our images into the white poster to create our book. From these project I learned that PhotoGraphic Truth might not always be true -- they're might be false images that might seem realistic to us. For example earlier last week when Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 5-0 they're was a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo with his arms on his waist with a really pissed off face ad 4 Barcelona players putting 5 fingers up -- trying to rub it in his face. I think this image is not true at all because it wasn't seen after they were done playing.
My book was based on women's soccer. My pictures were color pictures so it made it easy to add myself. I used a lot of scale to make my self bigger or smaller. I also used blur to make myself blurry since the background of that picture was blurry so I wanted to become part of the background. I only used two pictures throughout my project.
My theme was soccer. I choose soccer because i can relate to soccer a lot, since that's my hobby. I also choose a lot of soccer teams' pictures because i know what type of pose i have to do since i've taking many team pictures.
In PhotoGraphic Truth not all the pictures that you might see in the near future can be true. You can include yourself in a picture with your favorite celebrity and anybody would believe you. I didn't learn anything new from PhotoShop because I used all the techniques I had already learned earlier this year but i learned not to believe every images I see in the internet for example on Goggle.com -- many images might be edited by Photoshop to make it as realistic as possible. I didn't think it was that difficult. The only difficult part was choosing what my theme was going to be and also how to blend myself in so it wouldn't be so obvious. I think I was successful but not as great. Im going to try to use real soccer materials next time.
