Compositional Techniques Assignment

You will choose your best photograph from each compositional technique to change into black and white in Photoshop. You will then rename put them onto a Padlet, along with the technical information (ISO, aperture and shutter speed) and a sentence or two explaining why the photograph is that compositional technique. 

Steps:
1. Open up your photograph in Photoshop by going to File >Open. 
2. Scroll down using the left sliding bar to your photos.

3. Go to Image > Adjustments > Black and white 

4. Choose from the black and white Presets drop down menu which one looks best for each photograph. You can also use the sliders underneath each preset to adjust it to your personal preference.

5. Adjust the brightness and contrast of the image to your preference by going image> adjustments > brightness/contrast and changing the photograph accordingly. Don't make it too dark or too light!
6. Save each photograph as it's compositional rule- ie lastname-firstname-leadingline.jpg by pressing Save as- rename- keep the format as jpeg- and put in the Rbv-Class1- 231Common- Period # >10-19-2017 Compositional Rules folder. Make sure the quality is "12" as compared to the default of "8".

7. After you're done saving each image in the common drive, create a Padlet of your own named "Compositional Rules." 
8. Make sure you have the best photograph of each compositional rule- leading line, framing, symmetry, rule of thirds and crop.
9. Each photograph will have the title of what the compositional rule is, with the description having the technical information (ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed) and a sentence or two of why it's that compositional rule.
10. Once you are done, share your padlet with the main class padlet by going to share- make sure it's public- then just highlighting the web address. Go to the main padlet and add yourself by first and last name and add your padlet address.
