2:Economics

Take a picture that illustrates an economic concept we have studied. If so inclined, make it a selfie. Do not download a photo from the Internet, it has to be a picture that you took.

Embed your picture into a Word document, together with a caption and a short explanation of the economic concept(s) illustrated, photo idea and/or any other relevant information you want to convey to the viewer (1 or 2 pages at most). Submit the document on Blackboard, as an attachment to this assignment.

Grading:

Relevance of the photo: 10 bonus points (based on the idea behind the photo and how well it illustrates/captures the economic concept).

Caption and explanation: 10 bonus points (based on how well you explained the concept and made the connection with the picture submitted).

Aspect/ design/ composition: 5 bonus points (while the purpose of this assignment is not to test your photographic or Photoshop abilities, I do expect the picture to be clear, in focus).
