Assignment Goals

The goals of this assignment are to demonstrate mastery of image editing skills, color, and composition as well as the use of images to tell or illustrate a historical narrative. We are to include a narrative that is an account of the steps taken to achieve the effects, and we are allowed to combine techniques in a single image. We are to create a web page that specifically includes the following:

  • A cropped & resized image.
  • A restored photograph.
  • A hand-colored photograph.
  • A vignetted photograph.
  • A matted engraving.
  • A “before & after” of two examples.

For my project, I scanned, cropped, and resized all images except for the engraving. All of the images were scratched and had dust or other discoloration that had to be cleaned up.
