Today,I createdmy robot’sface inPhotoshop,whichwill be appliedtothe screen,togive myrobot
more of a personality.Iusedthe shape tool inordertocreate the eyes,andusedthe brushtool for
the eyelinerandmascara.To create the mouth,I useda rotatedletterC,typedinthe fontCalibri.I
was originallygoingtouse a heartfor the mouth,but didn’t like how itlooked.
