Colourize It! *

To add another Visual Assignment under my belt, I completed another one star rated assignment from the ds106 Assignment Bank.  This assignment, Colorize It, called for the colours of an old photo to be adjusted.  I had to adjust more than one colour but it didn’t matter whether the colours were realistic or not!

To complete this assignment, I chose a photo from this past summer of my footprint next to my boyfriend’s in the sand.  Cheesy, I know.  Don’t get me started.  Below is the original photo:

Regular Footprints

I opened the photo with Picasa  and then clicked on “Edit in Picnik“.

Once in Picnik, I went to “Decorations” and chose “Face Paint”.

Footprint Tutorial

From there, I chose the colours I wanted to use and airbrushed the inside of each footprint with a different colour.  Finally, I saved the photo and uploaded it to Flickr.  Et voilà!

Coloured Footprints

As always, I shared my work with the rest of the ds106 community via Twitter.

Colorize It

Use a photo you have previously taken, and adjust the colors in the picture. Make sure to adjust more than one color. You can adjust the colors to be unrealistic, or make them go along with the idea of the original picture.
