Perfect Body

Everybody is in want of that perfect body. Well, in my computer class, I tried to put myself in a perfect body. I used the picture of Lauren Conrad, as an example. When using Photoshop, you can transfer your body into anything or anyone you want too.

In the two pictures above, I transformed a horrible picture of me into a better picture of me in a different body. The transformation of my body to hers, is noticeable, but I think if I had played around with the tools a little more, I could have made the picture more realistic. The really hard thing about transferring is the skin. I had no problem with anything, but the skin. In Lauren's face she has different sections that are not the same color. This is in every one's skin. I had trouble matching everything up perfectly.

From doing this project, I now see how celebrities and other " Hot Shots," always look so good and perfect. I can now relate to them a little better because I know they are not always "Perfect" looking, they have blemishes as I do, but they get theirs fixed all the time and I can't. I can now see them individually person and not some godly,  immortal, or perfect person. I can see them like me.

In today's society, images being looked at as a "perfect body", are not always as they seemed. The celebrities may look like they are perfect and nothing is wrong with them, but behind all those corrections and touch ups on Photoshop, they are not as pretty as they put themselves as. Each photo I come across in a media form, I can see how they have been changed or edited. I can see where they made them look skinner or have a "perfect" face and so on. I can now, not look so harshly at my self because I am not like them. Because in order to be them, I know now that I have to Photoshop my body all the time to have a perfect body.

In my pictures above, I did really well on applying the make up and changing colors on things. In applying make up, I mastered applying it lightly or a natural look. In Lauren Conrad's Original photo she is wearing a natural look. In changing colors of things, I did a good job at changing my eye color to match Lauren's. In Lauren's Original photo, I think her eyes is what stands out because of the color, so i tried to recreate that.

The two things I could have improved is applying the skin color more thoroughly. I think, I could have match or blended more evenly. I also think I could have improved on my liquefying. In Lauren's Photo her smile goes across her face and i kept mine going up. 

Being Perfect, these days does not always mean be yourself. I now can accept who I am because I know everyone else has there flaws and flaunts, just like me.
