Mitigating Anxious Response to Technology (February 2, 2019)
In the first MART (Mitigating Anxious Response to Technology) Assignment, I was asked to familiarize myself with an open source photo-editing software named GIMP. As an Adobe Photoshop user, I was new to this software GIMP, and was not very thrilled at the idea of experimenting with an unfamiliar software and was in a way afraid to get started on the assignment. However, with a few hours of experimenting with the software, I was able to familiarize myself with the various functions within this software and successfully complete the tasks for this assignment.
The two images above are the original images I worked with to create the final product below. Some of the functions that I used to create the final image are <scale image> <transform> <duplicate layer> <text> and <paths tool>.
The final image is a combination of the two original images and it has the foreground image flipped horizontally, with the two figures (my grandfather and my dad) cropped from the rest of the image. The background image has been saturated in colour and has been placed behind the foreground image. As the last edit, text has been placed on top of the foreground image to complete the project.
