Assignment 4 Collage
Maximum Points = 50
(Due before class on October 17, 2007) The purpose of this lab is to introduce programming using loops and conditionals in Java to modify pictures in creating a collage of pictures. In this lab you will use:
Collage (From
the French: coller,
to stick) is regarded as a work of visual arts
made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new
whole. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collage]. Your program is going to create
a collage of different images using different effects from Chapters 5 and 6.
Write a Java program that
creates a collage of the same image at least four times onto the 7x95in.jpg
blank JPEG. (You are encouraged to add additional images). One of the four
copies can be the original picture. The other three should be modified forms.
You can do any of scaling, cropping, or rotating the image; creating a negative
of the image; shifting or altering colors of the image; making it darker or
lighter; edge detection, sepia-toned or posterized;
highlighting extremes, or blurring.
After composing your image, mirror it. You can do it vertically,
horizontally, or diagonally (or otherwise), in any directionjust make sure
that your four base images are visible after mirroring.
Design your program so that
the user can call setMediapath() and be able to access the folder containing all your
input pictures including the 7x95in.jpg blank JPEG. Your collage file should be
saved in the same folder.
Submit your image file before and after the change along with the .java file containing your program.
Grades are determined using the following scale:
