My Picture that Lies


I chose a picture of a kitten to change and I turned it into an advertisement for a pet adoption agency. I found the picture on the web. I changed it by eliminating the previous background and moving it onto a picture of a pet kennel. I added a ball of yarn to the picture to make the kitten seem playful. I turned the picture into black and white because I think it adds more emotion to the picture and I added text. I don't think this manipulation was harmful- I think it might do some good and convince people to adopt animals.

PowerPoint Presentations

I thought that Brianna's presentation was really good. Her butterfly theme throughtout the slides was really neat and her topic was interesting to me. I am interested in the same things so it was cool getting to see other people's point of view on the topic.
Chris's presentation was really good too. I liked that he used the chalkboard as his background since it was about lobbying for teachers. He explained his topic really well and I was surprised to learn that that is a subject he is interested in.
