Artificial Beauty (Transformation)

Project:

Transform a photograph of an everyday person into a more artificially
"glamorous" one.


Steps:

1. View the Dove commercial entitled "Evolution": https://youtu.be/iYhCn0jf46U

2. Select a straight-on close-up photograph of Mr. Ratkevich, or one of your parents, or one of your teachers Ask their permission of course, and take the photo yourself (head/neck/shoulders, minimal background, looking directly at the camera). 

3. Make the person look younger and more "glamorous" (while still looking like that person) -- younger, smoother complexion, brighter eyes, no wrinkles, sharper-featured, more “streamlined.’
