Creative Manipulation...or so they say...

Predictably, we've been given another assignment to work on. This time we're using Adobe Photoshop to manipulate a picture 'creatively'. The pictures we've been given to work with are of teachers we know. Now it' s up to us and our limitless creativity. Of course our creativity is to our liking...which means we've just been handed the faces of our teachers wtih the ability and the order to do whatever we want!

Well...perhaps I've made this sound more like a maniacal plan than an assignment but I can guarantee that those thoughts went through the heads of many of my classmates. We've been asked to be respectful and I suppose that's what we'll do, but it doesn't meen we can't have a little bit of fun.

There are three rules we are to follow when manipulating teachers' photos:

1) Permission: We must receive permission to perform any manipulations to other people's photos.

2) Know the line of respect: If we are given permission we should know to respect that, and remember to keep our limits.

3) All work must be in Class, and stay there: The images are not to be taken out of our BTT classes, because someone else may not understand our intentions.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do as of yet, but there are so many possibilites that I may not limit myself to just one picture. Whether it be comical, disturbing or a piece of art that will change the world...I can't wait to see my final result and those of others as well!
