Visual Pun

 ButterFinger

 Snapshot

 Firetruck

Sunglasses

In this project, we had to make visual puns to create a well known phrase. For example, a stick of butter, replacing a finger gives you "ButterFinger". On each of these four visual puns, we had to place an effect. On the first, I adjusted the Threshold to give the background hand-drawn look. On the second, I used Posterize to make the piece look like it belongs on an advertisement. On the third, I used an effect to change the opacity of the selected layer. This made the fire look as if it had really been painted on the truck. Finally, I desaturated a picture of the sun, and used a gradient map to fill it in with my own colors.

Kaleidoscope


In this project, we created a kaleidoscope-like image by duplicating one part of a picture and reflecting it across the screen. I took a picture  of spirit week decorations with many colors, in order to create an exciting image.
