Personally, I loved this project. I love taking pictures, editing pictures, making collages, and representing concepts in artistic ways, so this project incorporated all of that. I was actually surprised at how easy it was to find over 20 images to represent who I am as a person because I thought I would have a lot more trouble with that. I have photos of places that have impacted me, my favorite hobbies, my inspirations, and my family; all of these things shape the person I am and it was pretty easy to come up with a solid list. Some of the photos are straightforward, and some represent a deeper meaning. For example, the photo of the battery shows the positive end of the battery so symbolize the positive outlook on life I try to uphold and the positive energy I always try to have.
It was a little more difficult/time consuming to choose the perfect photo for each concept. Some I had to go through all my old photo albums on my computer(the photos of places), some I scrolled through all my old Instagram posts(photos of sushi, palm trees, etc.), and some I took this week(the playing cards, the iPod etc). Some photos were already edited through Instagram, and some I edited on iPhoto. Once I made all the photos perfect and the same size, I ordered them to be printed in wallet size at Walgreens. After I picked up the photos, I cut them into small circles. Then I copied the sheet music for "Who's To Say" by Vanessa Carlton onto poster board, since that's the first song I learned on piano and I still play it to this day. Music has been such a huge part of my life that I couldn't think of a better way to display my photos. After I drew the music notes, glued on the photos, and colored the background, my project was finished :)
Above are the 22 pictures I used to represent myself. The photo of Christina Aguilera, the drama masks, and the SNL logo are images I found online because I couldn't take them myself I thought I needed them for the project.
