Summary:This project was very fun to do because I love working with photoshop. The tools that I used for this project was photoshop, pictures that I chose form the internet, and a picture of me. The tools in photoshop that I used were the magic lasso, the bend tool, the typing tool and much more. I like using photoshop because I feel that I have a natural skill for it. I hope to do more projects in photoshop like this in the near future!
