Texture Assignment:

First, I had to take three pictures of my own. I had taken a picture of a person, flowers, and another picture with another person. Next i uploaded all of my picture to the computer and opened them in photo shop. I first chose the main background, which is the flowers, and took one of the boys and had copied his face on 6 times all using different layers. I then took the second person and put him on one of the flowers to make it a little more funnier and t meet the expectations. Next I took all the faces, and tried erasing them to be in perfect circles, or at least to look like their faces are the middle of the flowers. The harsh lines didn't look realistic, so i then took the eraser and chose the more faded one After it blended in a little more, I went to each layer and took down the opacity to at least 75%. Then lastly, I went over everything once more to make sure all the harsh lines are not seen or are gone. The main compositional technique I used was fill the frame, because the flowers are in the entire picture with even some cut out of the picture. You can really see the texture of the flowers and the flower stems with the focus, and I feel that I did a nice job with taking the pictures. I feel more successful with taking the actual pictures than with the photo shop. It was my first time using photo shop on a computer but I feel with more practice my work will get better through the semester
