Collecting the Internet

Due on your blog 1/21
Please label your post with collect in the title so it is searchable

This is an in-class exercise where we will be collecting images we have sourced online. These images should be found, not created by you. Please take a moment to look at the artists below and answer these questions on your blog before you begin your collection.

The gold of this exercise is to get you comfortable with navigating Photoshop and working non-destructively.

Your collections

Is there something physical you collect?
What digital collections do you have...for example: I have years worth of photographs, a hard drive full of music I haven't listen to in a while, resumes dating back to 2001...
How does the digital world affect the way we collect?

Set up collecting parameters for your digital collection (do a search or two to see if it's plausible):
What will you? (be as specific as possible, ie. swimming pools in Philadelphia)

How many? (example 10… less is more because you will be processing each image you collect!)
Where to source ( online - google maps, instagram)?


Why did you choose to collect what you did?
