VCT 236 Week 2 Individual: Photo Manipulation

The individual assignments in this course build upon each other to design and develop an image banner that can be used as a website masthead or for other electronic and print publications, such as report covers. This assignment is due in Week Four.

Review a company website to determine the style and message this client is trying to depict. Select a non-copyrighted photograph that communicates this message appropriately. Include an image citation for your photo.

Compare the original photo to the following techniques:

• Optimize the original photo for the web, and save the optimized photo. Place the optimized photo on a PowerPoint® slide with your description and file information.
• Crop and resize the photo. Place the cropped photo on a PowerPoint® slide with your description and file information.
• Retouch the cropped photo using a correction or color adjustment tool. Place the retouched photo on a PowerPoint® slide with your description and file information.

Create a PowerPoint® presentation that compares the original image and file information to three different image editing techniques. List the file format, the file size, and the image resolution on each slide. Include a brief description of your technique and any tools used.
