How I See You

Visual Assignment

Difficulty= 2.5 Stars (Listed in the description as 3)

You now wear glasses, and without them everything is completely blurry. Create a 1st person image that shows how you see someone through the lenses of your new glasses. Everything outside of the glasses should be blurry. Get creative with the way you see them through the glasses!

I’m rating this 3 stars because I’m leaving it up to you to figure out how to create the image. 
Hint: It involves duplicating a layer and making the layer blurry using one of the photo filters.

I used this picture because of the amount of different textures that are found throughout the picture.  This made it clearer once you “put on the glasses”.  It made a sharper divide between the clear and blurry aspects of the image.

I used Photoshop, and created numerous layers along with a layer for the glasses.  Once all the layers were created i blurred the background image, placed a new clear image on top of that, with the glasses on the very top layer.  By selecting the glasses I was able to erase everything along the outside of the glasses to give the appearance that the glasses made the picture clearer.
