Just look at the image. Are you being sucked into the spiral or is the spiral coming out at you.
An optical illusion is when an image can be looked at in two or more perspectives. The image can look one way, then if you look at it in a different way, the image can be something else. I created mine by making the background purple, then using the brush tool i made green circles. After that I increased the saturation.

Project #2- Google sign

My Google sign has many different smiley faces. They represent some of the different emotions that people have. I think the world will be better if everyone showed their true emotions. Also I want people to have a happy emotion on their face, rather than a sad one.

Project #1- 2 Bobbleheads are better than 1

Reflection Journal Questions

1. What was the objective of the task?
The objective of the task was to swap the heads of two people. We had to also increase the size of their heads to make it look like bobble heads. It was to also see how good our cut outs are. We also had to make sure that the heads were facing in the same position.

2. What picture did you decide to use and why?
The pictures we had to use were a picture of ourselves and a picture of our role models. My role model I decided to use was Annemarie Lucas. She is an animal cop that works for the ASPCA in New York City. ASPCA stands for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Ever since I was little I would watch her on the show Animal Precinct. When I grow up I hope to also help animals by becoming a Veterinarian.

3. How did it turn out compared to what you were planning on doing?
Compared to what I was planning on doing it came out okay. But I wanted the head cut outs to come out looking a little bit better than it actually did.

4. What was the most difficult aspect of this project?
I think the most difficult aspect of the project was to make the head cut outs really good. Also to put the pictures on the same file. Also to trying to my head cut out because I didn't know where my hair ended and where my sweater started.

5. If you were to re-do this project, what would you do differently or add to it?
If I were to re-do the project, I would probably use a different picture of myself because I didn't know where my hair ended and where my sweater started. I would also try to do a better job at the cut outs.
