Today we will explore some of the basic Photoshop tools and concepts, and then we will begin our first official Photoshop project -- the Veggie Head. The Veggie Head project is a classic Photoshop tutorial which teaches you how to use a variety of tools and techniques to accomplish a seemingly easy task.

- Your task is to take the various pieces, copy them, paste them, and clean them up to create a "Veggie Head". Some examples can be seen below:
