This is from the computer science department at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. According to the site: "You can use the Perception Laboratory's Face Transformer to change the age, race or sex of a facial image, to transform it to the style of a famous artist, to make an exagerated caricature or even make an ape of yourself!"

Here is my original picture and normal self:
Here is my transformation into a male:

The man one is freaky scary! I am going to start this lesson tonight so tomorrow you can look at mine!
Great job on this assignment. I really like the license plate one and the message. The message would be fun to change every so often.
