Hello! This is my 4th Ds106 assignment for this section. I decided to finish this section off with a visual assignment because it is my favorite category! The directions read…
Take a friend and turn him/her from a normal looking person to an extraordinary looking. Put the shots side by side for comparison. 

For this activity, I decided to use an old photo of my friend and edit it. I was an art student through high school so I had a bunch of shots of my friends posing as models for me. This is her “normal”.
First off, I decided to crop the photo to cut out the bottle and shower curtain on the side. Then I uploaded this photo onto Picnik (Editing Website) to change the colors on the picture. I used an effected called Duo-tone and made the whole background pink I gave her lips stand out by using red! I also adjusted the sharpness of the picture too. This is how it turned out!

Since I had so much fun editing this picture, I did another one!

I also used Picnik for editing this photo. I used the boost effect and made my brush thin and made it look like there were light beams going across/behind her. I also darkened the edges to make her stand out more and turned up the contrast.

I really enjoyed this assignment and recommend this because after you’re done editing you can give the photo to your friend and for me, one of my friends even used it as their profile picture on facebook

The assignment

I choose this assignment, Normal to Extraordinary, because I want the picture to change something special. Through I checked the people who did the assignment they represented their personality and imagination. The assignment mentioned “Take a friend and turn him/her from a normal looking person to an extraordinary looking. Put the shots side by side for comparison.”

The process

I used Aviary to edit the picture. This is the first time to use painting tools, so I do not know how to use it. There are many types of editing tools in the application, and I tried every tools to identify them. After I used to use, I started to paint my picture. Firstly, I put the line to dvide the color section, then I put the color for each parts. Secondly, I used stamp staff. Finally I posted on here.

The stroy

I chose picture which I took a photo during class. Also, the picture is kind of intrested for me because I took the picture when I dyed my hair as first time.
