Homework 3 - "Do It Yourself Andy Warhol"

Due: April 14, 2009 at 11:59 pm

Andy Warhol is famous for creating silkscreen prints of common images. These prints often had the same image duplicated many times and varied the color used. Examples of these can be seen in the following images:

Some of the above are actual images of Andy Warhol prints while other are done copying his style. An online art musuem at http://www.warhol.org/ or http://www.malarze.walhalla.pl/galeria.php5?art=70 shows many examples of Andy Warhol's art.

For this homework project, you are to be inspired by Andy Warhol to create a collage of at least 4 different versions of the same original image. At least two of the versions are to be posterizations using different final colors. The other versions of the image can be done in anyway you like as long as they are not the same. The different versions can be displayed horizontally, vertically or in some grid format.

You are not to hardcode in the image used or the size of the resulting image. You should prompt the user for an image, create and display the collage and allow the user to save the final collage in any filename of their choice.

Your code must be commented and written in good programming style.

Project Collaboration

You are allowed to receive help on this project from other students who are also taking CS 101. Each student must still complete and submit his/her own project. You will be required to include a Collaboration Statement somewhere on your project if you receive help. This statement can simply be something like the following:

For this project, I received help from the following member of CS 101.

Devang Jariwala
Shun Liang
Hongwei Zhu

This statement should list each helping student's name in a comment in the "header comment" of your Java file that includes the main() method.

Submission of your Project

You must electronically submit all of your files (all .java files, any image files and any other files used) via the UNIX turnin command using the project name of proj3.

The easiest way to submit the UNIX turnin command, is to create a directory that contains all of the files needed for your project. Then you turnin the entire directory. For example, assume you create a subdirectory in your WWW directory called proj3directory. In this "proj3directory" directory you contain all of the files needed for this assignment. If you are in your WWW directory, you can the type in the command:
```
    $> turnin -c cs101 -p proj3 proj3directory
```
To verify what you submitted using the turnin command type:
```
    $> turnin -c cs101 -p proj3 -v
```
