Often times when using such websites as picnik.com or picmonkey.com people are trying to improve how they appear in a picture.  For this assignment you are attempting to do the opposite.  To get started begin my opening up picmonkey.com and click on the Edit the photo link.

Once you have chosen a picture of yourself to edit a list of effects are in a table on the left.

The first thing I suggest playing around with is Color, increasing the saturation gave the picture a more orange tint.

To save this edit press apply.
To add more effects go to the lipgloss edit button on the left and click eye tint, to change the color of your eyes.

To save the changes press apply, for me it allowed me to use a free trial so I could keep using special effect applications.
Next go to the lip tint and chose a random vibrant color to stick out. (In this case I used green.)

Then press apply and save all the changes. Once you are done with your creation go to the upper part of the page and press save.  Where it will give you a save button on the bottom left and you have to name the photo.

Once you have saved the picture to your computer you can then go to flickr.com and upload it by pressing the upload button.
