My Self Portrait

LIFE

Spring 2024

Photoshop

For this project I combined three images that represent me. One of a country scene, the second was an image of a city skyline, and the third is an image I drew. It’s about the country where I grew up and the city where I live today. The duck is a mallard who is known for adapting to its surroundings and I’ve always thought of myself like that. The most challenging part of the project was working to mask off the certain parts of the image and making it look seamless.

Here I used the rectangle and ellipse tools to create the entire image. I also added text with a Lower Arc using the warp tool. I noticed that while doing this project it was hard to try not to do something realistic.
