My "Perfect" Body.

       The picture to the left is the picture that I started out with while using Photostop CS5.1. My goal was to sucessfully put my face onto Taylor Swift's body and to make it look good enough, so the edited picture could pass as a magazine ad. I'll admit that whenever I heard about this project I thought it was going to be easy, but I was definitely wrong. This project took a lot of effort, time, and patience due to all the elements I had to change in the original picture of Taylor Swift. I put makeup on, changed my skin tone, made my teeth whiter, and erased all the blimishes that were on my face as well as Taylor's.

      

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the transformartion. I'm aware that the finished picture looks a little weird, but that's only because Taylor Swift wasn't smiling in the original picture that I used of her and I was smiling in the picture that I used of me. After I finished this project, it made me think completely different about how society views the perfect face and body because there are so many photo editing programs that you can't ever be sure if someone really looks like the pictures you're looking at in magazines. It has also made me realize that society today is so worried about being "perfect" that most people forget to not care about what others think.
      
       I believe that I did really well putting makeup on my face because it actually look realistic and I believe I did really well matching my skin tone to Taylor Swift's skin tone. I believe I could improve and spend more time on putting my face on Taylor's body because my face looks a little smashed and I believe I could have looked more closely at the original picture of Taylor, so I would have saw that she wasn't smiling.
