a friend and then use at least one of the images to create a
humorous rendition of a famous
news by line in a popular magazine or a
fantasy image such as an astounding feat of strength, an amazing talent or
some other situation that could only be created through the use of digital
technology.
Or maybe you like the bizarre and would enjoy being a star in theWorld Weekly News! Preproduction:
