Pics that Lie

I chose this picture because, I thought it would be pretty funny to actually show a punch being thrown at the president. The picture originated from three different pictures. First of all I took a picture of a woman throwing a punch at a man. The next picture ws simplay a picture of President Obama facing outward and the third picture is the background of just a crowd of people. I manipulated each one of the pictures differently using different tools. I used the magic lasso to cut the woman out of her original background and put her as the top layer in the picture. I cut the President out using the magic wand because he had a congruent background, making his manipulation very easy compared to the woman punching. I placed the crowd as the background and used the spot healing to add more grass to picture to show the main characters of the picture in the foreground. I manipulated this picutre for fun because that would never happen in real life. The president is to well surrounded and protected and to see something like that would be amusing to me no matter which President was in office. The picture was not harmful at all because it was used for fun and almost everyone would know that it would never happen.

PPT evaluation

I thoroughly enjoyed all the PowerPoint presentation in class on Tuesday. With all the great powerpoints, my two favorite were Anthony's and Garrett's presentations. I liked Garrett's PPT because of the interesting topic he picked. The business and fun side of Southwest Airlines are unique and something I have never heard about. The wonderful pictures and layers that were used throughout kept me interested and waiting for the next slide. Anthony's Power point, was very good. He gave a great presentation over Engineering and famous engineers. His slides wee very creative and unique, with great pictures and backgrounds. He never overdid his pictures and layers but there were just enough to keep me in the presentation. The addition of the sound bite at the beginning gave the presentation a unique start that no one else had. Overall everyone's PowerPoint was great but to these to were my favorite and best.
