Activity I Enjoy: Movies

 This image shows different ways of movie watching. I created the image by layering three different images found on the internet. One is of a couple watching a movie from their home, another of viewers in a movie theater, and another and older picture of people watching a movie with 3d glasses. I used the eraser tool, free transform tool, magnetic lasso tool, and the paint tool to create this image. I wanted the image to show an evolution of movie watching, a hobby I enjoy.

My Hometown

My hometown is a small town, Oxford, Connecticut. For this project I blended together pictures of things that remind me of home. The background is a picture of Southford falls, the streams and waterfalls that run through my town and the neighboring town. I also added a gazebo that is at our towns public library, the farm that is a very popular ice cream spot, and a cow, because my town is jokingly called a "cow town" by others in the area. I faded a picture of Connecticut with the town highlighted to show its location in the state. For this project I mostly used the magnetic lasso tool, the eraser tool, free transform tool, and layering.

I don't know how to use a comptuer

This image is the result of my lack of knowlege of Photoshop. I do not know how to use the program at all. I googled my first and last name, and blended two of the pictures i found, one of Marilyn Monroe, and one of an old lady. I only knew how to use the eraser tool on Photoshop, so I used that to fade the old woman's face and layer it over Marilyn Monroe's. I also used the eraser tool to erase out the background of the picture of the old woman. To me, Photoshop is very stressful, and I am not confident at all in my abilities to use the program.
