Assignment:
You have been hired as a graphic designer by Apple.  They want you to create a series of iPhone, iPod/iTouch, etc Ads using the silhouette technique. You are to follow the directions given by the project manager for the target audience to complete the project.  Once complete then you should review the checklist for grading criteria before turning in your work.

Follow the tutorial below on how to create the iPod silhouette effect. You will perform this process on 2 different pictures of yourself.  First take 2 different poses of yourself  in front of the green screen using the digital camera that you can add an iPod/iPhone to later in Photoshop. Then take full length pictures of yourself and use a layer mask to cut out from background.  Then follow the tutorial to make the silhouette effect and how to add the shadow to yourself.  You will then include an iPod of your choice (shuffle, nano, video, iPhone, iTouch, etc.).  You can get the iPod from the apple website, you do not have to make the iPod.  Next add text using a font similar to the iPod text format for a catch phrase.  Finally, you must include the apple logo somewhere on the ad.  You are creating 2 ads so you need two poses and two different iPods to advertise.  Size should be 720 x 480 pixels at 72 resolution.  Grading Criteria Checklist
