Funny Money-

Project: Utilizing all of your Adobe Photoshop skills that you have absorbed so far and combining this with your imagination, alter a money bill to create a new image.
Starting with a scanned in 1-5-10-20 $ bill, creatively transform it into a new type of money.
Requirements:
1.You must have a theme ( sports, computers, religious, political, celebrity, etc)
This theme must be carried throughout the entire piece.
2. You must replace the face with one you either scan in or find on the internet.
3. You must change the denomination, and this must be complete on entire bill
Cannot be  a 1-5-10-20, but could be a 13-50-10000-2000. You must replace the number/text with a new amount. Amount could go with the theme? 666= Devil
4. You must change the text somehow on the bill; replace, alter, etc.
Should go along with theme- "United States of MicroSoft"... computer theme (with Bill Gates)
5. You must substitute one of the signatures for yours- freehand or scanned
6. Your bill must be colorized using the technique below, no full color money.
Money can be any color but, but you must utilize colorization process below.

1. Change Image to greyscale- Open photo in Adobe Photoshop. Go to Image column, click on desaturate.
2. Adding overall color- With your photo open in Adobe Photoshop. Pick your favorite color in the color picker.
Create new layer in layer palette, with new layer selected go to "edit" column and click on fill.
In layers palette change "normal to color" and adjust your opacity. Done- you are now colorized!
(experiment- money doesn't always have to be green)
3. Experiment with a picture of your own choosing, although I want you to be creative in its completion. Instead of merely just colorizing it, I want you to go back and erase parts of your overlay to reveal b&w photo underneath.
Find one photograph that you could work with at the following site-
