Self Portrait – Sofia Martinez

Title: Embodiment of me

Fall 2023

Photoshop

This collage is meant to identify me as a person. I wanted to create an image that represents me using the things that I love. For starters, the background is an image of the New York City streets that I walk daily is overlayed with stars. I love astrology and wish that I could see the starts in the sky while walking at nighttime. I placed a woman walking with the head of an elephant, which is my spirit animal. Lastly, I used an image of piano keys as the street the woman walks on, since I am a pianist.

Title: Geometric

Fall 2023

Adobe Illustrator

This is meant to be a portrait of myself made with adobe illustrator. I made a simplistic version of myself using numerous shapes. The eyes have been left out so I can emphasize my glasses and how the flare makes it difficult to see my eyes with them on. The hair is asymmetrical because, like in real life, my hair and curl pattern is not at all equal, and it flows in different ways.
