My Picture That Lies


I manipulated this picture for fun. When I was going through my pictures in search of one that I could use for this project, I found one of my suitemate, Emily, and I at the botanical gardens. We are poking our heads through a hole in a picture of a giant dinosaur that was used for a bean bag toss game. This inspired the more realistic dinosaur. I used the picture of us, a picture of a dinosaur from Jurassic Park, and a picture of a wall with a hole in it. I positioned the picture of the wall on a gray background and, using the smudge tool, I blended the wall and the background. Then I put the picture of the dinosaur on top of the wall picture, then the picture of me and Emily on the dinosaur. This picture is not harmful. It is to ridiculous to be real and is obviously just for fun.

In class presentations

I really like Trevor’s and Ellee’s presentations. I liked how Trevor’s backgrounds went perfectly with the presentation, especially the wave picture. Also it was a very narrowly focused and interesting subject. It was also very easy to follow. It also fully explained the causes and effects of tsunami. Ellee’s presentation was similarly interesting and focused. It fully explained the situation of the honeybees and the negative effects that it would have on our economy. The transitions and gifs worked well with these presentations.
