You will choose a National Park (make sure it is a real one and listed as a National Park not a State Park). See List HERE. You will create a postcard for this National Park. Your file should be 8 x 10 or 10 x 8. You will need to find an image online or in you own personal image of a National Park.
PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE PAGE BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Design Requirements:
1. Find a PHOTOGRAPH of the National Park you are doing the postcard for. (You will need to post the photograph on your new page titled National Postcard). The image Can NOT be an illustration.
2. 3 layers- like a landscape you will have a background, middle ground and foreground.
3. Title added that tells us what National Park it is
4. Optional: Add people and pets but scale has to be accurate.
You may use an image off the internet as long as you change the outline/ image by 80% but you are more than welcome to use your own or family images of a National Park
.
You CAN NOT USE Image Trace at all! You will not receive Credit for Project 3 and 4 if you do this.
