These two projects have a deadline for Tuesday, March 11th, 2008.
- Project Alpha is something we’ll all enjoy. This project will be worth 15Points for everyone who participates. We discussed in class about the popular Photoshop Tennis. If you take the time to browse the internet looking for pages related to Photoshop Tennis you will see this description that somewhat describes what goes on in he game.
Photoshop tennis is a game played through sequential alternating photoshopping of an image. It is generally played with two players, though doubles matches, as in the sport tennis, or other multiplayer matches are theoretically possible. The players pick a starting image, or one is “served” by a player, then another player makes some sort of alteration to the image in any graphics manipulation package that they like. He or she then sends that altered image to the other player or players, usually via email or by posting the image to a Photoshop tennis forum, who then edits that image and sends it back to the first player. This process goes back and forth until a predetermined number of rounds have elapsed, or the players otherwise wish to end the game. When the final round is over, there may be an independent judge who determines who has played the best shots, and declares that person the winner, or players may play without a clear winner. Sometimes extra rules can be enforced, such as sticking to a particular software package, or keeping to a particular theme. Posts have been known to be deleted by moderators even though the “Vote” option has been turned off. Photoshop tennis was invented by Jim Coudal.
In our case the game will be played in a multiplayer arena. Everyone will have a chance to participate and make their own changes. It will stay as a PSD file; we will not compress the image to a JPG. When it’s your turn give the layers your name. There will not be a limit in how many layer you can add, but you need to at least add 2 layers. A pen drive containing the starting image will be handed off to the first contestant; all changes will be saved onto that original file. Every time a contestant is done making changes a name will be picked out of a hat and the pen drive is handed over to the next contestant that has been picked. This project does not have a deadline, it will go on until the last person finishes and turns in the final product.

Good luck to you all, and enjoy the work.
