This is my shopped image that I masked using Photoshop!!
To mask this image, I completed a number of different steps. The first thing I did to complete this image was drag the mask onto the picture of Taylor Swift. I then turned the opacity down on that layer. After that I selected the paint brush tool and painted over everything except Taylor Swift's skin. I then changed the overlay, so that the mask made all of Taylor Swift's features look normal, like her neck and nose, etc. I kept adjusting the opacity so that I was happy with my creation. I enjoyed doing the process of masking very much.

 This is the shopped image with a tiger fur mask on it that I have created using Photoshop.
In class I was practicing how to mask a person with a type of animal fur. I used tiger fur to mask over Chris Brown's skin. I was able to do this be completing a number of steps. The first step I completed was dragging the tiger skin over the picture of Chris Brown. I then turned the opacity down on that layer. After that I selected the paint brush tool and painted over everything except the skin. When I made the paint brush smaller and zoomed in on the picture I could paint over the background in more detail. When I had finished this process, I selected overlay, which made the fur blend into the shape of his face and neck look more define and normal. I enjoyed doing the process of masking!! :)

Personality Profile for my Avatar's!!

The species that I created are from the planet Mercedes, south-east of Earth. They are very friendly, energetic and adventurous Mercedeans. They care and look after all the different types of animals and plants that grow in the planet Mercedes. The Mercedeans eyes are very big and change colour when their emotions change. Every Mercedean has a different type of animal fur as skin and they have different coloured lips. Their hair is a natural colour as well as their eyebrows. They also have really long, extended ears.

When other creatures that are not apart of their race come to destroy the Mercedeans environment, they grow colored fangs and teach the animals that belong to the planet, Mercedes, to scare the predators away. During the day, the Mercedeans enjoy climbing and swinging from tree to tree, riding the different types of animals, eating different types of fruit from the species of plants and adventuring around the forests with friends. The environment is very green, has lots of rivers and lakes, and a variety of unique trees and plants. Overall my species of Mercedeans are unique, adventurous and caring.

The creature I'm depicting, Bella, is caring, joyful and environmentally friendly. She shows a variety of different emotions, including happiness, fear and anger. Bella, as well as her fellow Mercedeans, shows her emotions through her facial expressions and the colour of her eyes. For example, when she is angry, her eyes turn red, but when she is happy, her eyes turn blue. Bella uses her emotions to show how she is feeling. Every Mercedean is born with a unique feature on them. Bella has three lines below her eyes as her unique feature. Bella is usually very friendly, protective and a happy Mercedean.

Photoshop- liquifying

http://www.dogsranch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pug9.jpg

This is the original image I used.

This is the image I created using the tool, liquify, on photoshop!!

There were a number of steps that took place to create this image. The first step I did was select the liquify tool on photoshop. Once I had selected the liquify tool, I started to expand the eyes so that they were much bigger and bulgier. I then pulled down the ears, so they were long and floppy. I really enjoyed using the liquify tool on photoshop.

This woman is clearly very frustrated. You can see this through this image. The lady has her books all over the place, which means she is very unorganised. She is talking on the phone to someone and at the same time writing down information. You can see that she is a very busy woman. The lady is frustrated because she is busy and unorganised, so her work is not getting done. Her facial expressions also show that she is very frustrated.

In this image you can see that this teenage girl is very frustrated. She is squeezing her head tightly while she is reading a book. This girl looks like she is becoming frustrated over her book. She is confused and doesn't understand what she is reading. There are obviously lots of other things on the back of her mind, and it is making her unfocused. From this happening, she is becoming more and more frustrated.

This image portrays the emotion frustration. You can clearly see that this woman is frustrated by her computer. Her hands are squeezing her head and pushing her hair back. Her eyes are shut tightly together and her facial expressions look puzzled and exhausted. There are two pieces of paper on the desk that have been scrunched up into a ball by the lady because she is confused and doesn't understand her problem. This makes her frustrated.
