=**Final Project - Monsters** = = =

Choose and research a monster from myth or legend, then create it and its environment in a Photoshop scene. You can use pieces from online photos or other imagery to build your monster. Caption the image with its name and a short summary.


 * 1. ** Pick a monster from one of the websites listed below.
 * 2 **. Research the monster online. Learn about the monster you select.
 * 3. ** Create a scene in **Photoshop** which includes the monster and its environment. The scene you create should also tell something about the monster's legend and its behavior.
 * 4. ** Your image must be created from scratch or pieced together from many different image sources. You may use images found online.
 * Your monster may not be selected whole from a single image. For example, you would instead take eyes from one image, ears from another, tail from another, fur from another, etc. Blend the pieces together to make a cohesive and convincing monster.
 * Your background should be similarly pieced together, not a single scene from a single source image.
 * 5. ** The scene you create should tell something about this monster's story, environment, and behavior.
 * 6 **. Include text that tells the name of the monster and a short summary about it (2 - 3 sentences) in your own words.
 * 7 **. Your final picture must be a multi-layered Photoshop file which is at least 8 inches x 10 inches and 300dpi.
 * 8 **. Create a list of sites you used for images.

You can also use any other appropriate site.
