It may be a family member, a friend, it may even be yourself! This is called a portrait. All school provided camera's have timer's on them, so if you want to take a "selfie" you may set the timer and shoot away. Please make sure the photo's are from the waist up. We will be editing these in class.

Classwork Assignment #1 Micrography - Portraits in Text: In this assignment you will view the video in the link below and create a portrait of Abraham Lincoln in text, after completing this practice assignment, you will then create a portrait of anyone you wish! This assignment can be as exciting as you want to make it. Think of using a different color background, two different text colors, maybe make it Red, White and Blue!

As always when you complete your micrography portrait post it to your webpage to be viewed by me and graded.

Try this link below for a step by step tutorial on how to transform your portrait into text. [|Micrography Tutorial]

__Directions:__ Micrography is very easily created in Adobe Photoshop CS4. Take whatever image you want to convert into text and bring it into Adobe Photoshop CS4. Duplicate the layer. Then go to image->adjustments->threshold. Slide the bar to adjust the threshold effect. Create a new layer and type your text in black in a small font size. Be sure to cover the entire document with black text. Rasterize the type by going to layer->rasterize->type. Go to the threshold layer. Select the white areas with the magic wand tool. (Be sure that the contiguous box is unchecked) Go to the black text layer and erase everything. Only the black text in the white areas will be erased. Now you just need to repeat these steps with white text. But, before you do this, add a layer that is gray by creating a new layer. Go to select->all. Use the paintbucket to fill in the background gray. Move this layer behind the black text layer but on top of the threshold layer. Create a new layer on top of the gray layer and type with white text to cover the entire document. Rasterize the type. Go to the threshold layer. This time, select the black areas with the magic wand tool. Go to your white text layer and erase everything. Now you have an image made up of text.
