Assignment: In this assignment you will select one of your Painting with Light images and create a reflected and repeated design or pattern in Photoshop.
Using Photoshop, you will rotate and flip duplicate images to create a new abstract design. Consider choosing an image with strong contrast so the image will have a strong visual impact. You may also want to choose an image with balance between positive and negative space, or one that has postive space that touches the edge of the frame of the image.
You may work in color or in black and white, and/or may choose to invert some of the design. You may post multiple variations of the same repeated image, or create multiple repeat designs of multiple images. Experiment with a variety of photos with both close and far distances- you may achieve unexpected results with a simple photo!
Kaleidoscope: Reflected Reflection Instructions
Open an image in Photoshop.
Select the crop tool- select W x H x Res And type in 5” x 5” x 300
Then File > New Document Make it 10” x 10” x 300 res
Then select the (top) Move tool.
Go to Window>Arrange>Float all in Windows
Click in the center of the cropped image, and drag in onto the new doc.
Drag over 4 copies to fill the new square document.
NOW: You will see your Layers in the Layers box on the right of your image. As you click from corner to corner you will see the layer change.
To change the rotation of each layer go to Edit>Transform>Rotate
Or Edit>Transform> Flip Horizontal (or Vertical)....(This will create a “mirror” repeat)
Create 3-5 patterns using crops of your painting with light images!
After you create each one make sure to say file SAVE AS so that you can continue working with the same images after!
(Remember to save the file smaller than 10 MB in order to upload to weebly)
