Assignment #4: Personal PowerPoint

For this assignment you will be required to create a series of photographs (approximately 20 images) that document and investigate your everyday life.  These photographs should cover your typical routine and surroundings and reveal something about your personality, domestic life and habits. Consideration should be given to the sequencing of images and the overall PowerPoint as a time-based medium. Your slides should be a standard 4:3 ratio using a simple white background, one image per slide, with no animations or special effects. The first slide should contain your name and nothing else. Vertical images must be resized to 7 inches high and horizontal slides must be resized to 8.25 inches wide, both at 150 ppi. Students will share their presentations on Tuesday, Oct. 30.

Assignment:

Using the Online Photo Resources on the blog, please find an article or post related to photography that is of interest to you.  Ideally, look for articles that are relevant to digital photography specifically if you can find ones, but you are not limited to only these. You can also bring a link to an article on another online resource focussed on photography than what is listed on the blog. It does not have to be the most recent post. Read the post or article, save the link, and prepare to summarize and analyze the content in a presentation to class on Thursday, Oct. 18 upon returning from Fall Break.
