This child is my favorite. He is perfect. Minus the drool coming out of his mouth in this picture. We had a formal dinner on our cruise this July and his mother dressed him in a tuxedo onesie for dinner.

I really enjoyed this assignment, I’m still getting accustomed to GIMP and how to bend it to my will but I didn’t curse too much in the process. This is a shot of me eating a pretzel which I’m sure was outrageously priced out at Disneyland when I went to visit my Aunt in San Diego with now fiancee. It was well worth the cost in memories and fun.

Here is my 2nd Visual Assignment for the week. Our assignment is to make a photo black and white and then have one color stand out; Splash The Color. You can view my submission on Flickr. I chose a picture that I took of my girlfriend at the park and decided that it would be cool to make the entire picture black and white and only have the color of the sky showing.
In the picture, you can see on Jackson’s shirt there is a little bit blue, but I’m happy that there isn’t much else that is blue except for the sky. I actually used Photoshop Express Editor to do this and found it to be a better tool than Pixl which is the last website that I used for my photo editing. What I like is that you can do all of this editing in the browser and not download any additional software. It wasn’t hard at all to apply the affect either. It’s one of the image editing choices and then you can actually change the color that you are having pop out as well. I could have gone with green, pink, red, yellow, etc. In essence, you can literally change the entire picture just by a little click of the mouse.
I hope that you guys like my picture and the effect that I went with!
Since I am already up I decided to do one more assignment before I finally went to bed. After I Warhol-ed myself I was ready to play around with Gimp some more. The Splash of Color assignment came up on random shuffle and so I jumped on it. This is one of my favorite photos, one because it represents the beginning of spring and the end of winter, my least favorite season, but also the orange. I LOVE orange, especially the vibrancy of this orange. So I decided to feature it. After Warholing myself this was a piece of cake. I love how it turned out.
To start off my visual assignments for the week I started out with this on- Splash the Color (also the first of the reccommended assignments listed in the week 5 post):
Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object, e.g. a green apple on a table. Think of the Girl in the red dress from Schindler’s List.
You can do this in a number of ways with photo editing software or using mobile apps. The answer lies in the Google .
Splash the Color is a 2 star assignment:
So want to know the story of why I picked this picture?
Ok here it goes: I have this thing in my room that have all the Chinese Zodiac Animals on it. So what I thought would be cool for this assignment is take a picture of it and then color the Chinese Zodiac animal that represents the year I was born in. And that’s what I did. I used my iPhone to take and edit the picture. I first took the picture, and then cropped the picture so only the image of the Chinese Zodiac Animals would appear on it. Then I used the iPhone app ColorSplash (it’s $0.99 in the app store) that I had on my phone to edit the picture. With ColorSplash they put the picture in black and white for you and then you can edit the color right in. It was an easy app to use and it was well worth the $0.99. I colored in the rooster because that is the animal that represents the year I was born in.
I chose this week to do splash the color. The requirement for this project is to strip all color from a certain picture then color a key point in the picture. In my picture below I chose my key point as the sky. The sky in this picture makes this picture. The assignment is unique in the fact that you have to use editing software to get to your finished product. The reason why I thought it was unique was because Photoshop software is second nature to me. I recommend this software to anyone and everyone that would like to do this assignment. It is a challenge if you do not know anything about photo editing. If you do this assignment I strongly recommend youtubing color splashing technique. It is a very easy task to wrap your head around. Hope you enjoy my picture!

I feel that I took the hard way into doing this assignment I know that there is many apps and programs that will help you keep an original color however I did not do that. So what I did was using photo shop and two layers one I stripped the color and the other i just deleted what I did not want leaving the dress to stand out. If I would have done it the other way using specific programs my lines would have been sharper. This assignment is worth two star**.
I decided to do “Splash The Color” from Visual Assignment.
Instruction says: “Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object, e.g. a green apple on a table. Think of the Girl in the red dress from Schindler’s List.

so, at first I took
This is carnation.
By the way,I am working at flower shop and carnation is one of my favorite flower, and that’s why I have chosen carnation.
second, I have been using ‘color Touch’. this is a free software, you can download it from android market.
Edit this picture like
this.
when I took a first picture, it reminds me Japanese flag, so I put a color at center of the picture.
I absolutely adore this car. Over the past year, I have developed an obsession with cars that sit aggressively low to the ground; otherwise known as “stance”, where the wheels and tires fit snuggly underneath the fender, with decent spacing and slightly negative camber. Call me crazy, but it gives me a feeling of being whole; as if I just finished a delectable meal, and can now sit back and revel over how good it tasted. The car pictured above; a Volkswagen Golf mkii owned by Jamie McToldridge, sports BBS E50 wheels custom built by Rotiform using pre-1978 centres and mounted to motorsport barrels is. This particular automobile is definitely on my list to own at some point in my life; and the combination of wheels, color, and suspension, makes it one of my personal favorites.

How are the Mighty fallen.
This is the Costa Concordia Cruise Ship that recently hit a rock off the Tuscan coast, in Italy. The color splash was made by using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, to highlight the one of the coast guard rescue boat and the name of the “Mighty Cruise Ship”
First of all, I want to mention that a friend of mine who is a professional photographer do have pictures on his website, whereby color of certain items in a picture are Splashed while others are grayed out. However, pride will not let me ask him how he does it knowing the kind of person he is. Then comes this assignment. I was a little bit clueless on how to go about it. I know how to use Photoshop to some extent, so I decide to do a google search, knowing exactly my caption word.
Ok, I opened the picture in Photoshop, duplicate the file in the layer column, uncheck my first layer and grayed out the duplicate image using the black/white option. Then rechecked the first image, select the brusch tool and deciding what image in the image that i want to splash, the duplicate image became handy.
Whoa, I am now a Professional. Thanks to ds106.us for this great class.
