2 STAR Visual Assignment #1: Jim Groom and Beyonce Are having a Baby!!!!! lol:)

I had a lot of fun attempting my first visual assignment, what inspired me to propose this the most was seeing other artist’s assignments and thinking “hey that seems really fun to do, i wanna try”. But I wanted to be more creative and use a celebrity instead of moving images like others . I chose Jim Groom as my first visual assignment because I have never completed a task like this before, I thought it would be challenging. Therefore I wanted to test it out, just to see if I could figure out a way to do it, even though it toook me longer than usual to find out. At first, it was hard because i wasn’t quite sure as too how I was suppose to place Jim groom”s picture on top of another picture but after i did some research on google and I found out exactly what to do. The first editing software I used was pixlr.com On this editing software i inserted two images which was Jim Groom’s picture, and then beyonce and Jay-z’ s. Now in order for me to place Jim’s footage on top of Jay-z’s face acting as if he is the one holding beyonce’s pregnant belly, I used the lasso tool and structured jim’s face with it first to make sure it would fit perfectly on top of jay-z’s face. Next I clicked on the edit tab and then clicked copy. After that i used the lasso tool once again and outlined the structure of Jay-z’s face, and then i clicked edit once again and then clicked paste which automatically placed Jim’s face on top of jay-z’s face. I then used the arrow tool to rearrange the face into the position i wanted it to be to make it look like a real photo.
