"Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman

Nature Quote

Assignment 6: NATURE QUOTE

Choose one of the following quotations:

"In summer, the song sings itself."
- William Carlos Williams



"My profession is to always find God in nature."
- Henry David Thoreau

"All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness w
ithin."
- Horace Friess

"Sounds of the wind or sounds of the sea

Make me happy just to be."
- June Polis

"Each moment of the year has its own beauty . . . a picture which
 was never before and shall never be seen again."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"If one daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is too few."
- William Wordsworth

"The earth laughs in flowers."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The ocean . . . cold and wild the surf, rushing in to ove
rwhelm the beach, the wind, stinging my cheeks, enveloping me in total freedom."
- Scott Holman

Choose a nature photo from Google Image Search that will complement the quotation you have chosen. Please be sure that the resolution of the photo you choose is high enough that you will be able to edit it with accuracy and that it won't be too "crowded" once you add your effects to it. You can choose the effects you add to the photo. Remember that sometimes less is more. Some suggestions:

- selective colouring (turn the photo to black and white or sepia and paint back on some original colour)
- selective boosting (turn down the saturation of the photo, boost the picture, click "reverse effect" and then paint back on some boosted colour)

- text emphasis (pick out an important word or phrase in your quotation and change its font, colour, and/or size)
- soften

- colour filters
- any other effect(s) that you deem appropriate


When you are finished, save your file as "Lastname, nature quote" and hand it in to the Computers 8M or 8C folder (depending on what class you're in of course). Happy editing, you creative beings, you!
