7. Fake Image

Using GIMP (or Photoshop or some other application) to create a composite image. This could be an artistic expression, political statement, advertisement, customized family photo, a hybrid animal, put your own face in a common meme, take a photoshop request seriously (like James Fridman), or something else. You do not need to do the same type of thing as was done in class, but can be creative about the pieces of images that you want to combine.

If you choose GIMP and want to use it on your own computer, you can install it from this page. The process to extract an image using GIMP can be seen on this tutorial page.
