This assignment was to describe a phrase or pun with words and also to make interesting, but make it a real definition of the pun or phrase.

During this assignment i learned lots including how to be much more creative with the photos that i create because this project forced me to leave my comfort zone and detail the photos much different than what i am used to. I also learned many puns are humerous and make more sense after putting pictures with them

This assignment was to take three images overlapping only about 10% to 20%. Then put them together and edit the three photos to look like one by editing the color tones and multiple other things.

During this assignment i learned many new editing options on gimp including the scale tool which i used to match the three photos and the curves tool which allowed me to blend the different shades of color to mend together and look natural. Another thing i learned was a photo is never truly done editing because there is always something to change or edit to increase the quality of the photo, but you need to stop when it is at its best quality.
