ASSIGNMENT: WARHOL SILKSCREEN  
 

 
 OBJECTIVES:     
  To recreate a slk screen effect with Photoshop.  
 PROCEDURES:     
 

Take some pictures of subjects that you think might work well for this assignment. The difficult part is finding an image that has enough detail left to color after you convert it with the threshold adjustment. Go to IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>THRESHOLD. Drag slider to taste (how you think it looks best). Now your picture is just black and white, no grays.Try a few different pictures. You can also do this conversion in sections. Select an area with the selection tool, do the threshold adjustment, select another area, do the threshold adjustment, etc. until is is all converted. I'll show you how to do this in class, it is easier than it sounds.

Once you have a good black and white image, make a new layer above it, drag your selection tool (polygonal or regular lasso tool) around the area you want to color. This doesn't need to be exact. Fill the selection with a color (choose the foreground color, EDIT>FILL>FOREGROUND COLOR) and then change the layer blend mode to multiply (experiment with other blend modes). You should then see the black under the color. Make a new layer for each color. After you are done adjust the colors so they work well together. To change a color: select the layer. go to IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>HUE/SATURATION and drag the hue slider to change the hue. Also experiment with the saturation and lightness controls.

Note: this can be a new image or an old image taken this semester.

Vision:
Is you image original, innovative and daring, or just another example of the same old thing? Does it fulfill the requirements for the assignment (see assignment requirements above) ?

Aesthetics:
Have you used the appropriate elements and principles of design that would enhance your photograph or did you just shoot what was in front of the camera? Have you used good composition or did you just place the center of interest in the center because it was easy?

Mechanics:
Camera Techniques: Is the image sharp/in focus? Is the exposure correct? Was the appropriate aperture/shutter speed used (if applicable for your camera), did you find the best angle?

Computer Techniques: Is the image sharp/in focus? Is it resized correctly? Is it color corrected and sharpened?

Good luck
