AHH NATALIE PORTMAN + ALECCC + CIGARETTES! ULTIMATE DISATER!

As you might have been able to tell this project was hell. It was pretty amusing and very funny, but rather hard, well SMOKE is hard. But I enjoyed swapping faces and will do this a lot more often if I have the time! I would say this is a pretty creative project, let's be real here, how often do you see Alec with Natalie Portman, I surely never have. I give it an 8.5 in that aspect. I did not expect that making smoke look realistic was so hard!! Smoke, itself flows and follows no direct path other than the winds, so how do you capture that?, a lot of trial and error. I learned from this project that Alec was meant to be a boy, and Portman should always stay a girl. However, they do look mighty funny together. On the curriculum side of this project, I've learned how to adjust facial tones, swap faces, create smoke, yah da yah da. It took not to much longer than I expected because when I sat down and really worked at it it went rather fast and easy, well not easy but easy concepts, just you have to do them over and over again to get it exactly correct. Yet again I am proud that I completed another project and it turned out very nicely. :)

Tattoossss

I'm pretty sure through this awfully challenging assignment I was meant to learn how to apply tattoos onto human beings making them look believable and flattering. When doing this again, I would add a million more tattoos, filling every inch of the body, still making it convincing, and even more awesome. I rate myself an 8 on creativity, the tattoos are pretty original, and tattoos that I believe my friend would indeed invest in. To make this project better I would require the students to have to put more than one tattoo on the body!! How easy is it to just put one tattoo on the body and move on?!! Yet again, I am proud of myself for completing the project, and learning so much more about the wonderful PHOTOSHOP devices.

Kitty saltating out of jeopardous fire!

O this kitty. As amazing it she turned out it was tedious and annoying! I would rate this project a 9.9 because it was absolutely awesome and it feels good to actually know how to do it but it was hell the whole way through! YES, of course it turned out like I wanted it too, I worked to hard for it not to be my vision, except for the reflection requirement, I would take that out if I could. I'm proud that it's my first project yet and I got two credits in doing so, and it turned out awesome! I'm proud of my wittle kitty for making it out of the fire in time!! Everything that didn't work like it was supposed to do was unexpected! Forgetting to hold down this button, or selecting that layer, this program really keeps you in check with every little detail that must be done, and it's awful when it doesn't work! Overall, I like this class. It's going really well and it's a real confidence booster when I can do it all right! ha, but as frustrating as it may be, it's good frustration when everything works out nicely. :)
