Teamwork is key

You've probably figured out by now whether your interests lay in photography or graphics. Some people prefer to come up with the ideas, others would rather compose from others ideas and then there are those of us who love the computer and like to put everything together.

For this next project you will be working in teams of three. Each one of you will have a role.
1. Creative director (overseas the project and helps develop the initial ideas)
2. Photographer - photographs and then helps with editing the photos
3. Graphic artist - Finishes the project on the computer with typeography and other design elements

All three of you must be part of each of the steps, but you will be in charge of one of the steps of the development process.

The Project:  Create a cd cover, dvd cover or book cover.

Requirements:
1. -This idea must be thought out before you start. Plan the name of your book/album as well as your photograph. You will be required to hand in your initial idea for the project (sketch and notes)

2. The final product must include at least one photograph taken by your team. (you may use as many illustrative elements as you'd like along with the photograph)

3. You must use photoshop elements to alter the photo in some shape or form, whether it be converting to black and white, using different filters, adding grain, bumping up contrast and color saturation. etc.

4. There must be a title to your album, movie or book as well as a band name or author using typeography.
