We did Instant Alpha in room 17 on Monday 30th August. It was for calender art. We had to get into pairs with another person because we didn't have enough computers to use. Instant Alpha is a tool that you can use on pages to stick your photo on a picture.
For example you get a picture of your favourite soccer player. That will be Rooney maybe (Not my favourite). Then take a picture of your head behind a white background or a one coloured background or else it will be too hard. Then put that picture on pages and use something called Instant Alpha on the one coloured background so it turns transparent and you can only see your head. Then you put the other picture on pages that must me landscape so it can fit in a calender. You make the picture bigger and then you make your head smaller to fit the person's head. It must be the same size or else it wont look very good or real.
Once you resize your head stick it on them and then now.... You look like Rooney or someone else you chose.
Once we finished our picture we went and showed the teacher and if she said it was good, she told us to save it in the server. My picture was of me running away from an explosion shaped like a mushroom. I couldn't get my legs in it beca use there wasn't enough space so I just got the top of my body. I still looked like I was running because all that had happened was that I had no legs.
Instant Alpha is really fun because you can put yourself in almost any kind of picture. I think it was totally AWESOME.
In blossom today, then scattered; Life is so like a delicate flower. How can one expect the fragrance to last forever?
