Interacting Diptych
Interacting (or interactive) diptychs are so much fun. A diptych is an image that is made up of two separate photographs, and the interacting part is that both images are different but make sense when looked at as one whole image. In this project we will be thinking about the elements and principles of design, specifically in color, tone, contrast, composition, and leading lines. Compose and frame your subject with the whole idea in mind.
Assignment:
You must photograph 50 frames with interacting diptychs (or tripychs) in mind. You will be putting these together in Photoshop and are responsible for making two or three unrelated things make sense together as one.

Steps:
- Have fun with this!
- There are two options of how to combine imagery—one is to be funny and have the two frames interact with one another, and the other option is to have two or three frames that make sense with as a whole.
- Look closely. Sometimes combining two or three images together helps you to tell a larger story. Maybe you focus closely on something in one and then further away on another.
- Contrast and juxtaposition are important in this project, sometimes contrasting two different things (white and black, full and empty) can help your idea
