PAtty Ho: Copied her right side of the face and pasted it and flip it horizontally and put in place..i used the dodge tool to make the skin tone even out.and for the ripped part on the side i took pieces of the full paper from the top left corner and copy pasted and put in a proper alignment.

Popeye: i copied the right eye and pasted it and used the free tranform tool to rotate it in to the right position.

  

What happens when you paint part of the layer mask…black?…white?…grey?

Black: Fully Transparent

Grey: Half Transparent

White: opaque

this is what i had observed.

What really inspired me was the picture itself…i hadn’t really decided what my story was going to be but when i took a moment to just stare at the picture of the lonely and upset boy..i thought and questioned myself…”why would i be upset ..what can someone say to me that would really hurt?”…and then shazam! loll ..i came up with a brilliant story that had everyone feel sad when they read it.

a) What were you trying to express and how did you achieve this?

What i was trying to express was my passion for life…i showed this by taking a picture of my eye because that is what makes you visualize..and in my self portrait i am visualizeing a colorful and positive future..to make it look dreamy and looking in to the future sort of thing..i made the focus point on the pupil of my eye and the rest of my eye is sort of getting blurred to the sides.

b) What Filters did you use and where?

I used the vanishing point filter ( the same one you had shown us with the girl playing beah volleyball and the vanishing point in the pic was the ball and the girls face).

c) What layer blending mode did you use and where?

I used the saturation and hue for the whole picture and then i used multipy and clor burn for the color in my eye and to blend the colours together and make them look smoothly blended i used the blur tool to blend them and then i used the luminosity tool to make that flash shine still apear on the top of my pupil and under my lashes. I also used the blur tool too make the sides od my eyes stretch to make the pupil the vanishing point.
