Visual Assignment – Fat Cat

Posted by

I have seen this photo all over the internet, and many people I know have seen it at some point. This makes it well known, to me at least. However, I cannot recall who the subject is. It has been on the tip of my toung for days now! Once I either find it or remember it (I am currently having a brain fart) I will update with that information. I felt that this picture met the requirements because:

1. Photography is art.

2. Even though I cant recall the subjects name, I have seen the photograph multiple times and is definitely a classic piece of work (in my eyes at least)

To make this one, I tried to use Photoshop but found it oddly complicated. I then decided to try out GIMP, which worked beautiful. I used the scissors select tool to cut out the cat and place it in the photograph, after using the re-scale tool to make it more realistic. I then saved that as a file, brought it back into gimp and ran the same process with the basket. However, in regards to the basket, I had to convert the original file into black and white to go with the theme of the photograph.
