Photoshop Artists
Posted by Krissy Ponden
Twelve years ago, Apple introduced its iconic iPod ad campaign with loud upbeat music and dark silhouettes dancing on a solid neon background. Today it’s hard to remember how cutting-edge having “1000 songs in your pocket” really was. Our sixth graders have never experienced a world without iPods, and their familiarity with the ads is mostly from seeing previous sixth grade classes do “the iPod project.” The students learned how to transform images of themselves into silhouettes reminiscent of the original iPod ads. They started by taking their pictures in creative action poses, and then they carefully cut out the images in Photoshop using the Pen Tool. Next, they removed the color and contrast to create a silhouette. They then decided whether they would be standing, flying, or upside down! Finally they added background colors, funny objects and shadows, then picked a descriptive “i” word to accompany their image!
