Gimp Assignment 5: School Context: JERSEY SHORE

For our fifth Gimp assignment, we were asked to take a picture within the school, but jazz it up a little bit.  We were to bring in outside elements to transform a portion of our school.  I chose a small corner in a hallway and chose to make it the Jersey Shore club, Karma.  The main challenge of this assignment was scale.  In order to make the picture look like the real deal, we had to have the right proportions of people and things.  Adjusting the sizes of the different people proved to be a great challenge.  Other than that, we used skills that we've been using all along.  We downloaded our desired images from the internet and pasted portions of them into a new image as new layers.  The end result was truly amazing and it was super  entertaining to see everyones work.  I learned a new technique of creating shadows but copying a portion of the picture, rotating it, and changing the color and opacity.  This assignment was definitely one of my favorites!
