We had a lot of free range with this project. We had to first complete a tutorial that made one picture look like it was made up of several polaroid shots, and then we had to find three other tutorials of equal difficulty to complete. This tutorial was the one assigned. This tutorial was intended to make a smoke effect where it looked like the subject was dissolving into smoke. It involved downloading a brush set and messing around with special effects in photoshop. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GRUl4U8jik For this tutorial, I did a double exposure with a mountain range and the sky superimposed onto my friend's face. I used different pictures and slightly different colors than the tutorial did, but the end result was the same.

My picture didn't align the way it should have, so the glitch effect looks like it was just staggered. I used a different color scheme, so instead of using the red-blue combo, I opted for the green-purple combo. At the very end, the video instructed on how to make a copy of the effect so that you could use it on any object, and when I did this, it erased my original image, which I was much happier with. Nonetheless, my final product still followed the tutorial.

It was also somewhat difficult to find tutorials that walked me through things rather than just giving me fast-motion screen captures of what they were doing. Overall, I had a good time with this because it's not something we get to do, but it was much more stressful than necessary.
