The picture I chose is a scary bat picture because I wanted to make it look different. I looked at a bunch of pictures on the internet and the bat scared me so I wanted to change it. The picture came from an article about the rising popularity of vampires. I wanted to make the bat funny so I added a smile from a dentist website that was showing how to take care of teeth. After I made the picture, I wanted to use it to make a statement I believe in, so since I used an animal, I decided to make it a picture against animal testing.
For the picture, I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the mouth out of the original picture. I then flipped the mouth. I then used the eraser to touch up the mouth after I put in on the bat using the move tool. I then used brightness and contrast to make the mouth try to match the bat. I used hue and saturation to change the color of the bat to show a bad side effect of animal testing. Then I added text, used a bevel technique on the words, and put a sentence in a talk bubble.
I manipulated the bat at first just for fun because I wanted to make it look different and was just brainstorming ideas for a fake photo. Once I saw it, I decided to use it to protest against animal testing because I think it is wrong to test on animals. The manipulation was not harmful because it does not hurt anyone. The picture is actually trying to help animals. I made an eye-catching, funny picture to get people’s attention about an issue affecting animals.
That's a great picture. It draws attention to the cause you are promoting and it is humorous at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love how you changed the color of the bat to reflect possible effects of animal testing. This can be a very powerful photo for animal rights activists.
ReplyDeleteI like how you changed the color of the bat and put the mouth in, really creative.
