Lab 2- The Melon Head

       In this Lab, Lab 2 to be exact I actually had to do many many things in order to satisfy my creative desires.The point of the lab was to take pictures of fruits such as melon, Zuchini, blueberries and etc to make some sort of face, I've figure to be exact. I used selection tools such as quick selecion, rectangular marquee, eliptical marquee, move , magic wand, lasso and many others. All of these tools contributed to letting me create my artistic design, and only by combining certain tools would I be able to create my master piece. I would like to imply that this lab did indeed take me quite awhile to complete, on the other hand it was very informative and fun. The educational experience of this lab valued a lot to me just as my past work has.

      In this lab the way i executed the certain tools was by first using the rectangular marquee tool. With this tool I formed a square around the melon, the main fruit of the lab actually. After the square was formed i moved the square to the right of the melon. As for the blue berries and carrots, the main tools were eliptical marquee and the move tool. With these i could created circles for the eyes and pupils. As for the zuchini the magic wand tool was a huge help, I was able to select the whole fruit by holding down the mouse and the shift key. For the rest of the fruits and such I either used the lasso tool, or magnetic lasso like for the pasta, I was able to select it by zomming in by 300% and using the lasso tool. The same goes for the mushroom, but that one took alittle more prescision. I had to take in more consideration for the mushroom.  Overall the lab was very good and was a weel thought idea, here I present my final piece. It doesn't look professional, more like silly, but thats why i'm in school, to improve my skills. That means this piece in particular has space to improve and all the tools I used in this lab will help me in the future when i am tasked to form something creative. I like how even though its simple, it something not everyone with a computer can do.
