photoshop into reality

so in our previous class, the topic of photoshoping our pictures to make ourselves look good came up. the new and improved photsshop picture is basically fake. so if you used that picture to get a cute guy/girl, when s/he sees you in real life, they're going to see the real you with no photoshop effects and depending on how much you photoshopped, they are in for a surprise. so why bting the subject up again? well, we all know that celebrities photoshop their picture for the magazine cover. a few weeks ago, it was a model for ralph lauren. they basically took her head and put it in another girl's much skinner body. WOW! and then she got fired (because she was too fat, but RL says she was fired for some "other" reason) now comes demi moore's cover shot for W magazine. totally photoshopped and quite bad i might add. her left hip is missing and it is so obvious. photoshop is suppose to make you look a whole lot better not worst.

Photoshop 101

So since I'm tryna cram all the classes I need for my Media Arts Minor during my last year of college, I'm taking multiple THR classes this semester alone, just like this one. Another THR class, 216, is teaching me how to get used to the basic techniques involved in using Photoshop. Now I've heard many many things about this program, but I always felt it was way too intimidating to mess around with. But now, thanks to my professor, I love using photoshop! This shit's so much fun! Check out my 1st ever done photoshop picture that we handed in for our 2nd project. We were assigned to use 3 pics, and with the help of photoshop, we were supposed to create an image that best expresses our personalities. Here's what I came up with and I think it expresses me quite well....
