TASK 1:

Working in small groups, set your camera to black

and white mode (mono). Explore the school
grounds and photograph objects that mimic the
look of a letter. Take a checklist with you to
ensure that you do not miss out any letter.
Attempt to take a range of 2-3 images of each
letter.

TASK 2:
Edit and crop your individual images. Open your
images in Photoshop and crop it to the desired
size/orientation. Decide if you want to use square
or rectangular images. You can enhance the
images by selecting image - adjustments curves. This is a very useful tool when working
with monochrome images.

TASK 3:
Create an A3 collage using Photoshop. Your teacher
will demonstrate how to use Photoshop to
organise and edit your alphabet. Save your work
as a jpeg upon completion.
