We’re the Baker Bunch!

After some consideration, I decided to work on the Brady Bunch assignment.  Most of my family members aren’t around this week, so the “That 70’s Show Circle” project was out!  As you probably noticed, I couldn’t resist the last name alliteration, so I went with it.  I struggled with the amount of people/dogs versus the spaces available.  We have four dogs in the family and I wanted them all represented.  I eventually settled with adding a small Baker Bunch sign in between the squares, rather than in the middle. 

This project was fun to put together.  I would say the most difficult piece was deciding which pictures to add and trying to get them to a similar scale.  In order to create the entire piece, I used a combination of BeFunky Collage Maker, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Paint.  BeFunky was a great application to work with.  I was able to easily resize my photos within the collage and flip the photos, as I wanted to mirror the Brady Bunch effect where some people are looking around the square.   I took a screenshot when complete, pasted it into Word, and cropped it down.  I also used Word to recreate the Brady Bunch lettering/font as much as possible. I was able to screenshot the picture again to include the sign and saved it as a jpg.
