Team Transition Final Project
- 4. Hierarchy / Principle of contiguity
- 5. Lecture on the history of photography and the basic steps to printing pictures on a kiosk machine. We will instruct and inform students who are new to using kiosk on what they do and how to use them. Also, we will pass out pamphlets to enlighten students on what the instant kiosk machine is for. For example, Kiosks is user interface and system software created for kiosks or internet kiosks (www.HashKiosk.com). Touch screen Kiosks or interactive kiosks which perform various functions. Functions are dependent on the touch screen technology.
- 6. Class discussion on how cameras work and the use of light (exposure). Have students look at their cameras to see if it has any options for different light conditions. Students will take some prints so they can see the process in action. For example, snow, candlelight, fireworks, etc. Try to include different light conditions in today photography sessions (take a picture of a candle, or the stars). Go and take photographs! Typography
- 7. We will explain the project to the students and show them an example of different photo materials that can be print from the kiosk machine. We will help students decide on some possible subjects or locations for their pictures to be taken. For example, landscapes or nature photography would make good portraits for still life pictures. Some cameras enable you to set a grid over your viewfinder so you are reminded of the rules when you take a picture. Go and take more pictures!
- 8. Dialogue about contrast and special effects. Contrast is the differences that make an object distinguishable from the background and any other objects. Contrast is very essential to develop and enhance photographs. Additionally, contrast allows for adjustments of certain element in a graphic design to stand out in the print to make the picture more noticeable. Most photographs these days are digitally enhanced to make them look better. Last chance to take more photographs.
- 9. Have students add special effects to their pictures. Snap fish is a free online editing tool students could try. Just upload pictures and work online. Try changing the exposure and colors of your photo (under edit) - or see how your picture looks in black and white or sepia (under create). Enhance the pictures by adding shapes and inserting your name to simulate a painting. Next student will go to a local Walgreens with their camera and memory cards and print their pictures using the kiosk machine. Print pictures in different sizes, enhancements, colors and typography. There are four easy steps to operating the kiosk machine.
- 10. Step 1: Press the “Start” button on the photo kiosk. The device will ask you to insert your digital memory device. This may range from a CD into the CD drive to an SD card memory card. All slots are available next to the kiosk screen. If you are making an enlarged copy of a current photograph place the photograph on the scanner bed below the screen. Step 2: Select the location of your photo from the display screen (such as “SD Card,” “Scanner” or “CD”). Step 3: Press the option for the print size you want. This varies from wallet size to 8X10. Step 4: Press “Print,” and the photo kiosk will print your image and a receipt. Take the image and receipt to the cashier to pay for your printed document.
