Face of the tiger
1. I started of with Phoebe's tiger image. I had no idea what I wouls do with it at first but i decided to play with the strips. I changed the look of the image first by going to edit image. I changed it to sepia mode which was kind of a more pleasing look to me.
2.I went on to select a part of the background and size it down. This would enable me to fit it as the strips of the tiger.
3. I took the selected background, which was sized down and tried to fit it as the strip. This meant a lot of manipulation of the bacground. I did this for about 3 strips trying to see if it worked. It was easy to duplicate the bacground since I just had to press command V and it would duplicate itself
4. I decided to use the cloning tool to feel up the spaced that were still black. I also used the clone stampe to kind of go over the places i had overdone the background as the strips.
5. I decided to try cloning the face of the tiger. I increased the size of the stamp and cloned the tiger face.
6. I resized the stamp to make it smaller. This made it possible to cover more are of the canvas with sort of smaller faces of the tiger. It also enabled me to get more eyes on the screen
7.I ended up with a screen full of tiger faces and eyes. Through a lot of experimenting that is.
The perfect Instagram pic
1. My friend Omar took this photo during free block. So I started of by editing the whole pic and changing the filter to Fade. This is by far my favorite fiter cause it gives your pic a raw feel.
2.I went on to change the exposure and brightness of the pic. This feature helps give a lighter mood to your picture. And obviously it makes it appear brighter. But careful not to go overboard with this cause it still should be in good ratio with the contrast and shadows.
3.This is where the capabilities of the photo app on the iphone alone stop. You now need to upgrade to a reputable photo editing app. I recommend VSCO or Afterlight. Those are the top rated pic editors.
4.After opening the app, go to library and fish for the image that you want to use. In this case the same one we were working on from the beginning. Make sure you select it to start editing.
5.You need to have a theme for your instagram if you are really serious with it. I personally use the HB1 effect which I love. The theme is bright and lively, and very aesthetic when combined with the fade effect.
6. In the app, it gives you more options on editing the picture than filters. Alining capabilities, claryfying the image, and adjusting the exposure. I enhanced the exposure, which eventually laid it better with what I was going for. I also had to increase the HB1 effect.
7. Now after making the necessary changes, select the image and save it to your camera roll. Make sure you save it as its actual size, cause if not, it alters the size of your original image.
8. Now all that is left for you to post the picture. Use the right type of hashtags and post at the best time possible so you can send traffic to your picture. This and having a quality pic is what makes a perfect pic.

5. I then decided to work a little on the background and see what I can do with the rest of the tools. I choose a different tool that instend of making the selected area pop out, it brought it back in, in the sense that you could see it sort of getting inside the image.
6. next, save the picture in your desired folder. And save it as jpeg or bitmap for easier upload.
7. To upload it on wix, go to image> upload images> choose it from your computer> click upoad and the get it onto your page
1. I started with a pretty cool image. I didn't know what i was going to do with it so i decided to experiment the different image mainpilations available in Photoshop Cs6
2. I went on to the filter option on the menu then clicked on the filter window. I chose the liquify option cause I have never tried it before.
3. A window opened up with different tools. The main tool was a circular brush that altered the image by making the image come out more (pop out) it is something that gives some illusion to the image
4. I worked on the hands, nose, ears, and other main parts that would help him appear plus sized. This became my goal since i never really see plus sized male models.
