Homework:

It is important to carefully evaluate the reliability of electronic web and print media, especially in an academic setting - remember http://news.com.com/2300-1026_3-6033210-1.html ?

1. Look at the NYT slide show called A Brief History of Photo Fakery. Use an academic search database from the Coates Library to find the article titled Journals Find Fakery in Many Images Submitted to Support Research in the Chronicle of Higher Education, 6/6/2008, Vol. 54 Issue 39, pA1-A11,. Read the article critically and carefully. Think about a quotation from the article – for example, “Ms. Roovers might have gotten away with the image enhancements if the paper had been accepted by a different journal” - and formulate a position for class discussion and your blog entry (see below).

2. Make Your Own Picture That Lies
Using Photoshop Elements 6/7 tools, manipulate a photograph of your own choice so that it has a different meaning or appearance from the original (this can be your own picture or one that you download from the Internet) - Don't forget about the Stock Exchange. Use at least 3 tools or adjustments (brightness/contrast, hue, saturation, etc). You may include a text layer if it fits your purpose. Be creative! Save two copies, one as a working (layered) photoshop project (.psd file) and one as a flattened image (.jpeg). Be sure to save a copy of the original(s) in the folder.  (15)

3. Project Self-analysis – Make an entry in your blog (8) discussing the questions below - include your flattened image as an upload in your entry (you may need to resize it):
