To add another Visual Assignment under my belt, I completed another one star rated assignment from the ds106 Assignment Bank.  This assignment, Colorize It, called for the colours of an old photo to be adjusted.  I had to adjust more than one colour but it didn’t matter whether the colours were realistic or not!

To complete this assignment, I chose a photo from this past summer of my footprint next to my boyfriend’s in the sand.  Cheesy, I know.  Don’t get me started.  Below is the original photo:

I opened the photo with Picasa  and then clicked on “Edit in Picnik“.

Once in Picnik, I went to “Decorations” and chose “Face Paint”.

From there, I chose the colours I wanted to use and airbrushed the inside of each footprint with a different colour.  Finally, I saved the photo and uploaded it to Flickr.  Et voilà!

As always, I shared my work with the rest of the ds106 community via Twitter.
