Midterm # 8 - Selfie-Altering

This is my Midterm # 8, an exercise using the GiMP platform to alter our appearance using the Blur and Smudge tools.... It is a midterm exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
 Below are a couple of progress screen shots and the final product, I like that my wrinkles are just blurred away...if only this was possible in real life :)
Progress Screenshot 1 - I had a little work done on my left side ;) 
 Progress Screenshot 2 - Who needs Botox when you have Blur ?

Class 5 Assignment 7 - Smithsonian

Here are my screenshots and thoughts on the world thus far...I thought the world had a lot of neat graphics (deer, possum, flowing water, and really cool pier) the scenery was a little strange though.  I tried to "board" the boat but fell to the bottom of the ocean and as you'll see in my screen shots, I somehow couldn't get rid of the Osprey and Fish buttons...overall nice job.






Class 5 - Assignment 6 - Clone-head

For this assignment I chose to get rid of my hair...it's typically a source of happiness or grief for most women, but I wouldn't change it...growing gray hairs and all...Got me thining though, if I could change one thing about my appearance what would it be ?????  Models and actresses get to morph into any body type they choose, when you and I, average joe's or joan's stay within the shell we were given.  Take a look at my creepy, clone-head
