For Thursday: raw material for "fake news" assignment

The current assignment is to fake a news story. This should involve at least four images (though it can be more) you've composited, and some supporting text -- the text could be as simple as a caption or headline, or you could write a mini news article to accompany the image, if appropriate. The "fake news" could be either something plausible, or something completely absurd. Either way, strive to make the image itself as convincing as possible, and try to create the accompanying caption or story in a way that it sounds like a real news story. Thursday will be an in-class work day for this project.

Come to class Thursday with your raw materials for the project selected (or shot, if you're using any photos you plan to shoot yourself). Recommended, but not required – havethe text (for caption or story) written and printed out, and a basic sketch of your idea for the project.
