Digital Posterization

Posterization is a process where a full tonal image is reduced to  fewer values. Sometimes the image is black and white. These images have a strong graphic quality.

Assignment: Select an image from the camera roll on your smartphone. Use Photoshop to create 4 different posterized images.

Three Part Portrait

This project is inspired by the work of photographer Adde Adesokan. Click on the link and look at the "triptych" portraits of this photographer. 

Assignment:

Your assignment is to create a Triptych Portrait of the individual of your choice. It's important that you include face, hands and feet in your image. The three parts should tell you something about the individual. You may want to include something (a prop) that helps you tell the subjects story. (ie. The baseball bat and cleats on my Son's image).

1. I used "Stich Pic", a free App, to combine my three images. You may use another App if you prefer. You don't have to break the image into three horizontal parts. Use your best judgement to make an interesting composition.
2. You may use different filters to change the image. I used an App called "Snapseed" to make Therese's image black and white and then increased the contrast.
