Mug Shot Activity

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.
