Geometric Portraits

Facial expressions are universal because they help explain your emotions. For example if I were to make a sad face it would show people that I am sad.  Facial expressions are universal because almost everybody in the world can show some type of emotion. A facial expression is a type of emotion being shown on a living organism's face. Facial expressions are very helpful when you are trying to tell someone if your happy or you are mad.

To make our easy poly we went to a website and uploaded an image of our face then we pressed a button and it automatically made a ok low poly design. We then edited the options on the website to edit what our image looked like.  We created our poly-1 by taking a symmetrical photo of ourselves on a low resolution camera. Then we loaded it into photo shop and made a outline using only triangles that are connected to our grid. After we made our outline we selected the polygonal lasso tool and we slowly selected triangles around our face then we worked on the parts of more detail and put a average blur over each triangle that we made. Then after we blurred all of our triangles we made a selected the outside of our outline and made 2 copy's of that selected layer. Then we turned our white background layer on and put the 2 copy's on it. After that we laid one side of the face on the left and flipped the other onto the right side to make it look like our face. That is how we made our poly-1 To make our poly-2 we took a photo of someone else and we imported it to photoshop then we selected our polygonal lasso tool and we just started making triangles that were connected to the grid on the person and used our eye dropper tool to select colors that are similar to the area we selected. we then selected around the person using the polygonal lasso tool and we then inversed the selection and we made our background look low poly.

My poly-1 image is different from my poly-2 because in my poly-1
I used an outline and we
