It being 1:11 am makes this Homework 1 Hour, 11 Minutes late, which isn't a big deal I guess, but when you consider that I've had nine days to do it, it shines a whole new light on the situation. You could say I'm 'Digging my own Grave' here, but I'd say that's too harsh for what I'm doing. I'd call it 'Locking the Padlock on my own Stocks', or something. But the fun Stocks, where they throw Sponges of Water to raise money for charity, not the old school ones, where they'd throw rocks if you're lucky, and kick your face in if you're unlucky.
And I've gone so far off topic it's staggering.
I'd like to work into the paragraph above that I'm eating an Easter Egg right now, even though it's nowhere near Easter. It's an easy adrenaline rush, along with eating After Eights at half past Seven, but I guess writing it here will have to do.
Okay, for the homework I did a very rough mock up of my poster idea, that I probably wrote down on a previous post. I took some screenshots along the way, but they don't reflect just how slow my computer was. It made me want to smash it up, but I finished it all because I had literally nothing better to do than do this work.
also i would have felt bad if i didn't do it
So I started off by taking my two pictures. I used Simba in Michelles place, and Gromit in the place of whatever person we also use in our Music Video (See, I'm linking the Video and the Poster together. marks, kthx.)
I also took everything out an Xbox case and used that as the place of the Poster, which gave me a really small and what turned out to be pretty rubbish greenscreen, but I was able to work around it, as you'll see below.

That's the very best I could do with removing the green from the original picture. As you can see, it picks up the green in other places in the picture, so it wouldn't work so well.
So, I came up with a new idea. I'd have the same picture on two layers, and cut around the green box on the top layer, and remove the green on the layer below. Below is a picture of me cutting out the green, and it working.

I went ahead and adjusted the colours on the picture to make it slightly more appealing. I chose to add a small amount of light blue to the picture with Simba, and red to the one with Gromit, so show some contrast.
I then changed the size and cropped the picture of Gromit to fit into the one with Simba, shown below, and did this twice more. I would have done it once more, but it was so agonizingly slow by this point, I thought my computer was going to implode.

Finally, after all that, I placed text over the top, and exported the image. Two things about that, I know the text looks ugly, and I know I exported it out small.
The text looks ugly because I thought my computer was going to implode if I did anything fancy, and I exported it out small because I didn't want my computer to implode. The final poster can be seen below, and I think it turned out well for a rough draft.

And because of my inability to just focus and get on with blogging, this Homework is now 2 Hours, 13 Minutes late. I guess you could throw one rock.
