Strut your stuff
We'd like to get to know you better, and what better way than to use a combination of photos, imagery and/or videos to tell us more about yourself?
There is *no* restriction on the subject matter of the photos, imagery or videos that you wish to take. What’s important is that they are representative of who you are. You are also free to make them creative or unique - tell it like it’s your life story, enhance the photos using the tools in Photoshop Express if you wish, or do more with your photos/videos in ways that no one has tried before…remember, this is your show!
The only *requirement* is that we would like you to use Photoshop Express, but you are free to use other photo or video programs/tools as well in conjunction!
A couple of guidelines:
- Use no more than a total of 6 photos
- Any videos that you incorporate should last no more than 2 minutes
- To give us more context, it would be good to include captions to describe what the photos are about; same for videos, or you can narrate too if you want!
Here are examples of photos/videos that you might want to take:
- what you cannot live without
- most important people in your life
- your most prized object in your room
- places that you frequent
- hobbies or your favorite things to do
To use Photoshop Express , go to photoshop.com/express, and create an account.
Below are some things that you could note while using it.
1. Your first 15 minutes - What was your initial impression of the site? What were the main things that you tried to do?
2. What are the top 3 things that made you go “wow…this is what I’ve been waiting for!” (and you can list more than 3 if you want, or less if 3 is too many). Be as descriptive as possible.
3. What are the top 3 things that made you perplexed - “what is this? I can’t believe this is coming from Adobe!”
4. And lastly, here’s a section for your wish-list. Tell us the moments when you went “If only…”, “What if…”, or “I wish…”. You can add as many as you want! Again, please provide us with as much context on how that wish came about, i.e., what were you trying to do, what was your goal? The more information we have, the more likely we can make it into reality!
Where to share/post your creation and feedback
- Please send your feedback on Photoshop Express directly to me @ mtjandra@adobe.com; once everyone has submitted their responses, I will then share them via the mailing list @ DL-PX-Panel
- To share your photo or video creation, please post on the Adobe blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/youthpanel/ - this can either be in the form of a link or image/video file. Steps to upload a file can be found in a separate entry.
We would appreciate if you could complete this activity by next Friday (April 18, 2008).
Remember to have fun!
