The assignment was to create an image of a popular song while also including a picture of myself. This assignment was worth 3 stars, but it took me forever since I figured I’d start using GIMP instead of just sticking to paint and making sloppy pictures. Here’s a little on my process and how it turned out.

So first I used this picture of myself because I needed something that might resemble me driving a car.

 

Then I used paint to create this picture by just added text

Now here’s where things started to get a little tricky. I uploaded the picture of me in GIMP and used the scissor tool to get rid of the background. By selecting “select” and then “invert” and then selecting layer -> transparency -> add alpha channel -> delete, it got rid of the background. I then added a new layer with the car and did the same thing to get rid of it’s white background. It ended up looking like this.

Then I opened the Earth picture I created in paint and moved the layer of me in the car on top and merged the layers. Here’s what I got.

I think the final product looks kind of ridiculous and like a kid did it, but hey, go easy on me this stuff is new to me! Can you guess what popular song this is?
