In-class Image Assignment 1: “Digitized ID Photo + White Paper + Self + Drawing/Text” captured by the computer’s Photo Booth

Reveal something about yourself through a digital photographic image captured using the Mac’s program Photo Booth.

Include all of the items listed below in the image.

1. Yourself (any part of your physical self)

2. The black and white print-out of your ID photo

3. Something written or drawn using the marker given to you

4. Large piece of white paper (can be used as a backdrop, a costume, or as anything else that you create).

You can deface or embellish your ID photo in any way that you choose. You can write or draw anything that you wish on the white paper, your photo, or yourself. You can include any part of your body or face in the frame. You can take one or “four quick pictures”.
