|
Assessing the capabilities of techniques may involve further practice with the techniques to acquire, manipulate and print images while also manipulating variables such as resolution, colour depth, brightness, contrast. It may also involve: | experimenting directly with work in progressproducing practice prints or samplestesting imaging features of the software in use. |
|
Extending capabilities of techniques refers to: | exploring the potential of techniques and discovering new ways of using techniques. |
|
The conceptual vision may be determined by: | elements and principles of designthe relationship of the work to a theoretical and historical contextthe subject matter or theme for the digital images, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns. |
|
Within this unit the candidate would generally extend, build upon and combine a range of techniques which may include: | acquiring an image through scanning, digital photography or from the Internetfile format considerationsmanipulating the image by means of a range of imaging applicationsoutputting image as a print, CD-ROM or other storage medium. |
