I had my students this week finish their photoshop merge photos project. It’s really for them to get used to using the tools in Photoshop to take several photos and put them into one picture. I have a youtube playlist that you can follow with. PhotoMerge Youtube. I blurred out the student name they had to add type and use the Text Warp in PS.
The photos I got from Pexels.com
The site is free and you don’t need a login to get high res images. I also spoke with another graphics teacher and he has his students use FreeImages.com
Pexels you have to be careful because there could be certain images you don’t want your students to see. FreeImages images are appropriate, but my students had a hard time and would lose connection to the site.
If you want to use the same images that I used with my students.
Students turned in their work via Microsoft Teams. Found out there is a 50 MB size limit. I had them re-save as a JPG and upload their images. We also started a weekly back up files on their OneDrive. I think there isn’t a file limit since the school signed up for the accounts but we will see. Google Drive for personal use has a 15GB limit if you don’t have it for education.
We learned about Edward Weston Photographer. We took still life photos of fake eggs and silverware. I’m hoping to share some student examples once we color correct them.
