ASSIGNMENT
5 • Take a selfie using a neutral background. You will use this selfie as the reference for your prompt. Using Firefly, you will write 5 different prompts where you will ask the AI tool to create an image of yourselves based on the selfie. This is an observation exercise where you will practice precise description of a person. the goal is to present the 5 different iterations of the process and to achieve the best AI generated image of yourselves. DO NOT CHEAT: this is all about the correct prompt method, not about the existing Avatar generators available in the market.
6 • Using Firefly and Photoshop, create a precise prompt that will produce a monster that visually represents your worst fear.
6A • using the same selfie, or another one (that you will upload as a reference), crop a segment of the face, and use the generative expand in photoshop to create a new human based on just a fragment of your face
6B • using the Neural Filters in Photoshop, explore at least 3 different filters that would allow you to change your age, colorize, apply a painting style, etc.
6C • Take a GOOD selfie (you can choose the setting and the outfit, as well as the props) to look as if you were in a photo taken in the past. Using Photoshop, turn it into B/W, and then use the Coloring Neural Filter to apply the color palette of your choice.
Export all images as JPG / 75% compression, upload the PSD files and the optimized images to Dropbox.
