Me as Selena


What was hard was looking for a picture and taking a picture. I had to size my picture and size hers. I also wanted to have the same skin color and it was really hard to do this. It took me a long time to have the same skin tone so I did my best to have the closest.

PENGUIN IN PARIS


I used the marquee tool to select mainly the parts that are easy to select and delete the background of the penguin picture. Then I used the lasso tool to get certain parts to delete more of the background that I missed.

Sarah vs Brian

Q's
1. Is Brian right?
No, I don't think Brian is right at what he did. She is the one that wrote it and she deserves at least some royalties because of how famous it became.
2. What should Sarah do.
I think Sarah should just forget about it and move on. She really can't do anything about it. It was about 10 years ago so she has no legal rights over it but, I think she should just think of the positive side because now she knows that she can right great hit songs and she should write more and earn more that he did with that one songs.
