This week i made a pixel portrait of my self in photoshop. Once finished i saved it in .gif and .png formats. After spending some looking at the pictures i found that the differences aren't that noticeable. The colours in the .gif seem more vibrant. While making this i was trying to accentuate my hair, i was trying this because i liked how my hair looked the day i took the picture. I got the colours by using the dropper tool to get the colours of off the original image. 

I created this image by using the pen tool and setting it to 1 pixel in size. I created a new layer to draw on and drew over the original image. I would like to do this again but use a picture with better lighting. The lighting in the picture made the colours look dark and grey. Im not particularly happy with this and given the time i would go back and redo it using a better picture.
