a. I don't see a difference between the images. BI think the PNG file is a little less bright then the GIF file, the PNG file seems less pixelated. I think the GIF looks better because the colours are more vibrant and it is more pixelated. 

b. I was trying to accentuate my hair, my hat and the scar beside my eye because those are things that i most notice stand out. My choice of colour comes from using the eyedropper tool to figure out the colour it should be. For the sweater I chose the colours based off of my favourite shirt, and I just liked how the colour stood out. 

c. I used a photo of myself and worked over it, I didn't copy it i just used it as a template. The final result is very different from the original photo. I made layers for each part of the picture, like the hat, hair, sweater and face (including my eyes, mouth and nose.).
