Have students practice taking mug shots. (All students on staff should be required to complete this task. Even editors need to review basic skills periodically.) Require them to shoot a 3/4 view, straight on, and one from a different angle. Photo edit the shots as a computer lab activity.
To build on this assignment in beginning classes, have each revisit the business card activity I posted. Using the mug shot of their choice, add dimension to the business card by using a photo to enhance the card. Now that they have spent a few extra months with the computer programs and learning new skills, the business card activity should be much more productive. This is a great activity to wrap up the end of the semester..building on old skills while incorporating new ones.
