Picture That LIES!!

I had no idea what to do when I first started this project. I just began looking up multiple things and some how I came up with this crazy idea of having a bear parachute. Of course this has never happened so I first took a regular guy parachuting and took him out of it and placed the bear in his spot. To take the man out I used the cloning tool to just put the sky over him. Then I used the magic wand tool to take out the bear from its existing picture and placed him on a new layer connected to the parachute with some painted in straps. Once I had all this finished it look like it still needed something more. So as bad as it is I made the parachute on fire with some holes in it too. Of course this would just be a terrible thing to happen to any skydiver but it definitely to a grizzly bear skydiving! The flames were a little tough to figure out but then when I made them somewhat transparent it looked more realistic I think. Some could consider the manipulation harmful considering the danger the bear is in. However as long as no animal activist take it serious since I would hope nothing like this would ever actually happen, the manipulation is not harmful.

PowerPoint Presentaions

My two favorite presentations were Garrett's and Vanessa's. I liked Garrett's because it made me laugh and was actually very interesting to me because i knew nothing about Southwest Airlines seeing as how my family always flies Delta. His use of animations was great throughout. I never knew that such a big company like Southwest Airlines would ever give their employees such freedoms and increase the money they get because the company is doing so well. I also never knew what hot pants were so i found that interesting. Vanessa's presentation on Enron interested me because i never really knew what happened except for the fact that the company tanked. Now I know that the reason it did was because they were altering their books to make it look like they were doing great when they were really overstating their worth. I liked that she gave information on her slides, but it was not a lot because she elaborated very well which kept my attention.
