Lesson 15

Image Manipulation

Start with a screenshot and reshape it for a vertical 9:16 canvas. This teaches cropping, framing, and thinking about the final format before you publish.

Project: Take a screenshot of your Minecraft avatar and manipulate the image to fit a 9:16 ratio. Skill: Practical computer use

Your project

Take a screenshot of your Minecraft avatar and manipulate the image to fit a 9:16 ratio.

Steps

  • Take a screenshot of your Minecraft avatar.
  • Open the image in an editor you can use.
  • Set or crop the image to a 9:16 shape.
  • Move the crop so the avatar looks centered and intentional.
  • Save the finished version as a new file.

What to practice

  • Keep the subject visible.
  • Do not stretch the image strangely.
  • Save the edited file separately from the original.
  • Notice how a vertical format changes composition.
