Title: Briana Ceron self portrait
Semester: Fall 2023
Software: Photoshop
For my self portrait I choose images centered around the photo of me. I wanted to create a fantasy world, that I thought would be really cool to live in. The three main background images that I chose were glittering stars, Saturn, and a photo of a flower field. I specifically chose those images for my world settings because imagine if our sky was to look like that, with the moon being replaced by Saturn and the huge rings around it and looking up a stars that glitter, that would be very cool. I chose to add the flower field because I love flowers and greenery and it only felt right to add myself sitting in a flower field. The most challenging part was making sure that none of the backgrounds of each photo were noticeable, to solve that I just took my time with the refine edge brush tool.

Title: SeLf PoRtRaIt
Semester: Fall 2023
Software: Illustrator
I wanted to have a weird distorted portrait just to make it more fun and bring out creativity. I chose to have a lot of the black, purple and light pink circles in the background because purple is one of my favorite colors and the hit of pink makes it really pop more. For the actual face portion of the portrait I wanted to do something inspired by Pablo Picasso’s self portraits. When I think of self portrait, his iconic art style always comes in mind. The most challenging part of this project was truly understanding all of the tools and how to get them to do what I wanted. I just played around with everything till I got somewhere close to my vision.
