I was feeling creative and artsy.
So I made the profile picture for my LinkedIn account.
Is that weird?
{be forewarned. there's a semi-ridiculous number of photos of me in this post... *O.o*}
From a slightly awkward Spring Banquet pic {sorry, Steph}...
To a cropped version...
Effects, Cross Process, Green...
Overlays, My Own, and careful erasing = final product.
It may look a little strange here, but in the itsy-bitsy inchxinch square that LinkedIn gives you for a profile picture, it works pretty well. Contrasts you versus the background and all.
On a related mini-tangent, I've been a PC person all my life. I understand the usefulness and brilliance of Mac computers, but *shrugs*, it's what I get for having a dad who worked for HP while I was growing up. Anyways. My point is that because I have a PC, I don't have Photoshop. Which is quite unfortunate given my chosen major because knowledge of Photoshop is practically a requirement. *sigh* That being said, I've gotten quite good at using PicMonkey to make photo-edits and that's where all these were made.
Just an excited heads-up: they just added a TON of new fonts to their selection. New favorites include Channel, Quentin Caps, Backspace, Stroke Dimension, and Sketch Block. Old favorite I'm so glad is available now? Bleeding Cowboys. {Gee, that sounds gruesome. It's gorgeous though}.
Also.
I just discovered the Highlights feature under Touch-Ups.
Hee.
I don't think I look half-bad with blue, purple, and pink streaks in my hair.
If I ever had a rebel phase, I could've rocked this, right?
