7th grader Zekur 'remixing' movie posters, album covers and magazine covers at last years Freedom Friday Finale. He took photos of people on the spot, imported into photoshop, cut out their faces and put their faces into the mag covers and such. Excellent project to teach photoshop skills while keeping kids engaged in learning.
