Today in imaging class, we were set a challenge that tested teamwork, problem solving, and creativity skills. We were given a grid of images, and were asked to recreate them using similar objects, which made us think outside the box. We were a team of four, split into two’s; Jasmine and I done the photographing, and Lindsay and Andie done the image editing process.
How did you transfer the images to the computer or device?
We used Facebook messenger to transfer the images from the photographers to the editors. This was used after experiencing some issues with using Dropbox.
What software did you use to choose and organise the images?
The editors used Adobe Bridge CC to choose and organise the images.
What software did you use to optimise the images?
The editors used Adobe Bridge CC to optimise the images.
What software did you use to create the collage?
The editors used Adobe Photoshop to create the collage.
What considerations should you make regarding images for online and print?
Make sure you’re sending them, if able, via a source that will not compress your images, thus ensuring that full resolution will be kept.
Discuss the workflow used in the project.
The images were shot on an iPhone 6s Plus, imported onto a Mac via an iPhone lightning cable, then sent to the editors via Facebook messenger, then the editors then downloaded the images to desktop, then loaded them using Adobe Bridge CC, then created a contact sheet using Adobe Photoshop, which I then saved to my USB in order to upload online.
Did you discover new and quicker ways of working with your digital photographs?
The editors found using Adobe Bridge CC to be a quicker way to work with importing, optimising, and exporting their images.
If you were to do this challenge again what would you do differently?
If I was to redo this task, I would first check that my first choice of uploading platform was functioning correctly. Otherwise, I feel that the process ran smoothly.
