Historical Foundations of Visual Technology Workbook

Projects

Included in this section of the workbook are six freestanding projects. Each of these projects involve some
interaction with modern visual object preparation and presentation technology such as the insertion of images
into documents, electronic slide presentations involving images and sound, or digital photography and digital
image editing. Many of these projects are supported with materials provided on the CD/ROM associated with
this workbook. Some projects involve field work in which you seek out, examine, and photograph objects or
buildings in your locality that exhibit specified characteristics. Unlike homework assignments which have been
designed to require one or two weeks of effort, the projects included here generally involve more than two
weeks worth of preparation and work. Your instructor may assign one or more of these projects as a regular
required work item for your class, or may designate one or more of these for optional extra credit. All of these
projects are designed to be interesting and fun as well as informative!
