8th Grade Pic Monkey: Before and After Photos
For this mini project, you’ll be editing 10 photos and showing the difference between the original and the edited photo. 
Step 1: Saving 10 Photos to Edit
Find the following pictures online. Then save each of the photos to your folder in the public share drive.
a.	Your favorite car
b.	Beach
c.	Leaning Tower of Pisa
d.	Colosseum, Rome
e.	A city landscape
f.	The Eiffel tower 
g.	A mountain
h.	A country landscape
i.	Your own choice
j.	Your own choice

Step 2: Editing
You’ll complete the following projects using www.picmonkey.com. For each photo above, you’ll need an original picture as well as the edited photo when you’re done. Choose “Edit for Free” on the picmonkey website. You will use the snipping tool to save your pictures in Microsoft Word. Once you have the before image as well as the edited image, copy and paste each into Word like the example below- labeled before and after. Write at least one sentence explaining which editing tools you used on the picture. 
a.	Favorite car- Upload your favorite car photo to picmonkey for editing. Choose any of the basic edits to enhance your car photo. An example is below. Notice how the color is more vibrant and there is more contrast so the car stands out. I changed the exposure, colors, and sharpened the image.

b.	Beach- Add an inspirational quote to your beach photo by using the text tool. Make sure you choose a font and font size that is easy to read but doesn’t overtake your photo.
c.	The Leaning Tower of Pisa- Add any effect as well as an overlay to the photo.
d.	The Colosseum, Rome- Add a moon overlay as well as change the exposure in basic edits to make the photo look like it is night time. (You have to add your own moon picture) 
e.	City landscape- add any of the light trail textures to the photo.
f.	Eiffel Tower-Add a frame as well as an inspirational quote using the text tool.
g.	A mountain- add a haunted aura and a creepy crawlie under the demons theme to make your mountain photo look scary.
h.	Country landscape- Add any effect or change to your photo.
i.	Your own photo choice- make any changes
j.	Your own photo choice- make any changes
Make sure you give at least a one sentence explanation for each edited photo of what you did to change the photo! Use the first car example as a guide.
