Once you have completed your pixel portrait:
1. Go back to the handout - (pick up folder on Lakeshore NAS) - to ensure that you have created this using the correct paramaters. Resolution, size, white background.
2. Save your image with the appropriate TWO different file formats. Put YOUR NAME in the file name and PIXELPORTRAIT. Like this: name_pixelportrait.gif and name_pixelportrait.png
3. Drop BOTH image formats into the DROP OFF - in YOUR FOLDER under Year Two. ALSO drop off the saved, finished .psd original version so that I can see your work.
4. Post Both images on your blog in a blog post TITLED: Pixel Portrait.
Label each of the images according to the file format.
5. Write one or two paragraphs that explain the following information:
a. File format comparison - visually compare both image formats.
What happens when you enlarge them. Do they look the same, different? Why/why not? Look at line quality, colour etc. Which one looks better in terms of quality? Explain
b. Personal features and characteristics - explain which features or personal characteristics you were attempting to accentuate and why. Explain your choice of colour palette and it's significance.
c. Technical information - explain your technical procedure. How did you go about achieving your final result? Explain your process - did you use a photograph and work over it? Did you work over or under the photo layer? Did you work by eye? Explain.
6. Use this as your avatar on your blog - keep it up for 2 weeks minimum.
