In this short project, you will make an image to use as your  Zoom avatar for the rest of the semester.

Use your webcam on your computer or your phone to take a self portrait. Put this image into photoshop and manipulate it by adding filters, layers, masks and effects. The more, the better! (On a side note, this is the only assignment this semester that you will be able to use the built in filters!) Make an image that is layered and complex, but is still recognizable as you. Feel free to add images from any source. Think about layers and collage.
