Get head shot images: recruit more participants..AND ACTUALLY GET THE PICTURE!!! "Cartoonify" image, adjust to 256 x 256 create transparency, clean up around head / shoulders, convert to png.

Is there anyway we can help you cartoonify people or do you just want their images? I can do some graphical stuff if you tell me how you're doing it so I keep a similar look and feel.

I was just looking for you guys to get images of anyone you want to add...but, if you have the time, and are so inclined, here's what I've been doing (and you could do just some of the steps):

  1. crop the image so head occupies roughly half the width and roughly square.
  2. scale image so least dimension is 256.
  3. crop canvas so it is 256 x 256
  4. save as jpg.
  5. Use this website: http://cartoon.pho.to/
  6. upload file, select cartoonify, do NOT select crop. If you want big smile: select morph image, make smile (and select turn off animate).
  7. save image back to disk.
  8. create transparent alpha layer in GIMP, Photoshop, whatever.
  9. Select and erase as much of the background as you can.
  10. Manually zoom in around head and clean up with a finetooth comb (eraser).

I put all the instructor images up on gDrive in /img. We have permission from Mobus, Marriott, Fowler, Alden, and Chinn to use them. I was thinking we could use the others in a "congratulations still shot", but the images all have a different hue/tone. Could make them all black and white. Anyway, Mobus, Alden, Chinn and Fowler are being used in puzzle. If you can get permission from one of the others, feel free to use them. I have a good quote for Marriott: "B-GOK! This game is AWESOME! My name is Chris Marriott and I endorsed this....", "...wait what am I saying, where am I?"
