Project #2 - Bobbleheads selections
The objective of this project is to swap heads for 2 people.
- Find a picture with 2 (or more) people in it and take the head off of one person and put it onto the other.
Then, do the same thing for the other person. I want you to proportionately scale each person's head up larger than it should be - aka, bobblehead size.
- You can also take heads from different pictures and paste them into the picture with 2 or more people in it.
Ex: I have a picture from "Friends" with Ross and Rachel and I want to use the heads from Madonna and Elvis to replace them. This would be acceptable.

Here is what I will be looking for when grading:
1. How clean your cut out is. Take time to make the head cut out look really good!
2. The heads are copies, NOT cut outs and are bobblehead-scaled proportionately.
3. Do the heads match the body position (looking in the right direction)? Command & T to rotate and scale them.
4. Layers are correctly labeled.
5. The original picture is the bottom layer, unaltered.
6. The file conforms to the Specifcations above.
Examples:
For mine, I used a picture of Brad and Angelina. I swapped their heads.
Here is the before and after:
And the difference between a good cutout:
and a bad cutout:
When you are done, save it as "Project 2 - your name.PSD". I will help everyone who needs help to resize it when we turn it in.
Essentially, we will be using Image > Image size and adjusting the pixels to make sure it fits in setting I have below.
