Interacting Diptych
A diptych is an image that is made up of two separate photographs (triptych is three), 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:
Photograph (or start with a photo you've previously taken) with interacting diptychs (or triptychs) 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.
You will be turning in TWO final diptych/triptychs -
ONE should be composed entirely of your original photographs that you took.
The SECOND should be made up of one copyrighted image interacting with one or two of your original photographs.
You will be turning in both of your interactive compositions into Canvas. In the description, give credit to the photograph you borrowed.

Tips:
- 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
