Stare at the black star while covering your right eye. Come closer to the screen and watch as the colored star disappears. Amazing! it disappears as if by magic.
An optical illusion is tricking your mind into thinking something disappears, or something moves. It tricks your mind into thinking its something else. I did mine by making a colored star. Then i made another star that had the outline of black. Then you just move in closer to the screen covering your right eye. It shows that your eye has a blind spot.

The effect changed a lot for each letter. When you changed the setting for the letter A, it created a shadow behind it. It looked pretty awesome. When you changed the setting for the letter B, It created a glow around the letter. The letter B now looks more bolder. The setting changed a lot for the letter C. It became more bolder and darker.

Reflection bobble head

1. What was the objective of the task?
The objective of the task was to switch the head from one picture to the other. You had to switch the picture from youur role model to your head. Then you had to move your picture to the head of your role model. You had to enlarge the picture when you switched it from its orginal picture. The reason why you enlarged it is because you want to make it look like a bobble head. Even though it doesnt move back and forth. At least its large!
2. What picture did you decide to use and why?

I decided to use my picture and a picture of Reese Witherspoon because Reese Witherspoon is my role model. She is a great example for kids because she is part of fighting breast cancer. She also doesnt get brain washed from all the publicity or the celebrity life. I decided to use my picture because Ms Ramirez said so.
3. How did it turn out compared to what you were planning on doing?

It turned out alright I guess. I thought it would come out more cut clean. When you zoom in like really zoom in you can see that it really isnt cut. Other than that the whole thing came out good.
4. What was the most difficult aspect of this project?

The most difficult aspect of this project was cutting out the head. It was hard because it was soooo much work. I did it with the magnetic lasso tool. I think that it what made it diffucult. I also tried using the magic wand but that was too hard to use too. I tried using the quick selection tool, it will only select the right side of the face. When it gets too much of the picture, i erased most of the picture. It was pretty difficult.
5. If you were to re-do this project, what would you do differently or add to it?

I would try to cut the pictures more clean the way i wanted to. Maybe it would come out the way i wanted it to. I wouldn't add anything because its fine like that. I would j ust make sure that i cut it good.
