Topics Discussed:

  • Photoshop
  • InDesign
  • Photo Frame
  • Type Frame

Assignment:

Over the past few days, we have tested our acquired Photoshop skills by fixing a Photoshop Disaster. Today, we are going to use our acquired Photoshop skills to create something entirely new, and completely impossible.  

  1. You should have completed the Impossible Image – Part 1 assignment before proceeding to this step. Save your image as a .psd file before importing it into InDesign.
  2. Create a new 11″ x 17″ InDesign document. Save it with your name and “Photoshop Impossible Image”.
  3. Place the Impossible Image Photoshop image on the page in a photo frame with a 1″ stroke. You may make the stroke whatever style or color you choose.
  4. Use the Type tool or the freehand brush tools to place your name (or signature) somewhere on the page. This is your original artwork, so you should sign it and be proud of it!
  5. Save the InDesign (.indd) file, then Export your file to .PDF format.
  6. Export the file as a High Quality Print format .PDF (File -> Adobe PDF Presets -> High Quality Print) and upload the resulting .PDF file to the “Impossible Images – Part 2” post on the Google Classroom page by the end of the day on Tuesday, November 20th.
