Are you really surprised I brought my dog into this? I mean, have you seen the dog’s eyes? YOU CAN’T SAY NO.

I decided to use this photo I took of Colton earlier this week while I was having apples and peanut butter. Can you tell he likes peanut butter?

I wanted to create my idea of what Colton dreams about all day long. Colton has a list of his favorite things. Among those are chicken, peanut butter, cheese, dog treats, and paper bags (he doesn’t eat them, he just rips them apart). I found some cute graphics of these things online and using Paint 3D, made them all into stickers. I did the same with Colton’s face. After adding in the background, this visualization of his dreams was set.

Introducing, Colton’s most perfect dream.

mashup ***** four and a half stars

This was a mashup assignment that was worth 4.5 stars. For the assignment I needed to take a closeup of someone and add a background to it. I chose to take a closeup picture of my boyfriend and added an alien as the background. I then added the face time buttons at the bottom to make it look like they were calling each other. I used canva to make this picture and I got the alien and FaceTime buttons off of google. To get rid of the background in the picture of my boyfriend I used a background remover website.

These was really funny to create because I ended up going down a rabbit hole of celebrity memes. This assignment was to pick a celebrity close up and then add it to the background of a unrelated feelings. To get things started I google “celebrity close up funny” and I scrolled and scrolled. I came across my favorite one, which is Kim K crying. I saved this picture photoshopped it so that it was just her face then I had to decide what to put the background as. Since she is crying and the background has to be unrelated I went for something that was not scary or sad. I picked a fish and then downloaded that picture and placed the Kim K picture over top. I thought the fish would be something she would actually cry over. I enjoyed this assignment. I didn’t have any trouble making overlapping or picking pictures.

For this assignment I was tasked with taking an actor’s face and putting or superimposing the landscape over the face or however you want to call it. The first thing I thought of was that meme that I always saw with James Van Der Beek’s face. Basically he was about to cry in one scene and I decided to cut out his face from my screenshot and paste it onto the Care Bears tv show front cover. I figure this would have been a great fit due to the Care Bears not having a “Sad” Care Bear. Yes, there is a Grumpy Care Bear but there is not just a sad one. Typically when you see care Bears, you think of happiness and colorful but then you add someone with a sad expression on the front cover and it just looks ridiculous to me. However, let me know what you think of this!

Alright, this challenge was a lot of fun too!

Instead of using GIMP (I detest it so much), I used…Snapchat!

This is a combination of two of my favorite things: Johnny Rose from Schitt’s Creek and an adorable dachshund

Details of the challenge can be found below:

This is a 4.5 star mashup assignment where you have to superimpose images over another one. Personally, I can’t take superimposed photos seriously. They all look like memes. So I made a meme.

I took the final screen you see in one of my favorite video games, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild first. It’s meant to symbolize the general feeling of completing a game, and this was the first one to come to mind. There’s a general feeling of emptiness and satisfaction when you beat a really long video game, so I made this silly picture to go with it. I put the photo in an online photo editor first.

Then, I added layers with more images. I picked photos of edited “sad cats” which are just cats with sad watery eyes on them and lowered the opacity to superimpose them on top of the landscape.

My mini story is the meme caption I wrote above! It sums up what it’s like to finish a game in an image.

For this assignment for 4  and a half stars, I created a picture off fo photoshop of a woman looking confused, and a chalkboard behind her stating that 1+1=2. I used the eraser tool on photoshop, so the original orange background is still surrounding it, but oh well.

The next assignment I picked was 4 1/2 stars. This one was also pretty easy and fun.

The assignment was to take a dramatic close-up of an actor in a movie and mash it up to tell a story.

I used (of course) the well known Home Alone surprised picture. I then pair it with a roller coaster with the steepest hill out there. To make the boy from  Home Alone look terrified.

Check it out!

I hope you like it!
