Mutant Project

The objective of this project is to work more with Photoshop and create an image that involves the practice of the elements avaliable in photoshop. When working on this project we will take an image and essentially create something that is completely different, and not even recognized on earth, by adding peices of other images. We will change the background to add to the "mutant" factor. This project will help us become more comfortable with photoshop and confident in our abilities.
