From Kayla to Sandra!

With the overall transformation, I feel pretty confident. Although this does not exactly look like Sandra Bullock, I feel it is pretty close to it and you can kind of tell it is my face on her body. This changes my perspectives on magazine adds because now I know that most pictures in magazines are photo shopped and very rarely are they the real picture. Many things in magazines now come across as "fake" to me. Today's view of a "perfect image" is all fake to me. In order to have a perfect image in today's world, you have to be fixed up to look perfect. Two things I think I did really well on are my eye makeup and matching my face with hers, like matching my eyes with her eyes and my mouth with her mouth. One thing I could improve on and spend more time on is matching my skin tone with her skin tone. It took me so long to match our skin tones because I would get close but it would not get to the exact same skin tone as hers. Another thing I could improve on is making the Opacity lower so it would make the effects on my face look more realistic.

Using Photoshop for me was not that difficult. It has difficult parts but in general it wasn't that hard. I liked when we made our collages because I got to put all of the pictures I took and change them anyway I wanted. Photoshop will probably be my favorite project we do the whole year.

While doing my collage I used many different tools but I used the cropping, brightness, color balance, lasso, and magenta tint the most. I cropped almost all of my photos to go where I wanted them. I used the brightness tool to make the picture brighter and to make it stand out. I used the lasso to make the picture a certain shape. I used the color balance to balance every color in the picture to make it better to see. I used the magenta tint to make it a different color other than just black and white or the normal colors. Photoshop was overall very fun and I would definitely use this again to edit pictures.
