After:

Before:

After:

I blurred the back cupcakes and sharpened the front one to "pay attention to details" to make the photo more intriguing.

Logo Project






-

65% of seniors smoke pot daily
-By 8th grade, 28% of adolescents have consumed alcohol
-1 in 12 teens have attempted suicide

The teenage years are a time full of angst. Instead of running away from problems through drugs, suicide, or other harmful actions, we encourage running or other physical practices. This will both relieve stress and introduce teens' bodies to a healthier lifestyle.

Picture:
 
First I found a picture of an eye and then a picture of the sky. I took the sky and lowered the opacity. Since I could see through it, I lassoed the sky to fit the eye perfectly. I then took the eraser and cleaner up any loose ends. Finally, blurred out the pupil a little bit.
