 My focus was on the photography side of designs. I was tasked with taking a variety of photos for the yearbook. Among the photos I took, were the Kinder and Elementary Hands photos that will be used on each of the classroom pages for the yearbook. The effect we wanted to create was to make the hands of the little kids appear as though they had paint on them. To do this we used the green screen to take photos of all the students from PreK-Grade 5. We then used Adobe Photoshop to remove the background, making it transparent. We then needed to use the color replacement tool to put the paint effect on their hands. The final step was stitching the photos together, resizing the students, and exporting it in the correct format, which was "png." Throughout the unit we had many deadlines to meet, and challenging tasks we had to divide up equally between the members of the photocrew. We used Google Spreadsheets to keep track of the work we had to do, and what was done. We also used Google Docs and Gmail to coordinate photo times with teachers. It was a lot of work, and at times we felt stress to get it done in time, but the result was great, and that was all the motivation we needed. The hard work was worth it in the end.
