Assignment: 

• if you were on the list of posters to be printed (see last Friday's post), please send me your pdf file by email.  

• Note:  The following will now be part of your grade:
  Giving your post a title. (10 points)
• Your post should have the same title as the assignment, so that when I look at your blog, your assignments are all listed over on the right.
• If you chose a blog layout other than one that would show your list of assignments on the right, please change that now.  I need to be able to quickly see where all your assignments are, not hunt for them.
• ALSO: When you write about your assignment, describe how you completed the assignment.  Don't just say "I learned how to crop."  Say:  "I used the crop tool and dragged around the part of the image I wanted to keep."
• AND:  Do not upload screenshots any more!  Save your image as a jpeg and upload the jpeg.  (If you do not know how, ask your neighbor.)

Today's assignment:

Changing eye color:

Use Photobooth to take a photo of yourself (You can crop it to just the eyes if you don't want a photo on your blog).

Watch "Changing eye color" video to change the color of your eyes.

Next, find a photo online and do the same thing with the eyes and hair.  Since this is an assignment and you aren't creating it to be printed for public use, you may use any photo you want.

Upload a before and after of both images (Your eyes and the photo you found online)

Write a sentence about how you changed the eye color.
