PART I: RASTER
Title: Self Portrait
Semester/Year: Spring 2024
Software: Photoshop
I chose a vase for the base of my self portrait because I wanted to fill it with all of the things that I feel like have represented me lately, and also I really enjoy ceramic vases. I recently broke my ankle and it has affected every part of my life, so an x-ray is there along with some art tools, nail art (which has become a new hobby of mine while being temporarily disabled). I also put a dog in the background because my dog is always around. Lastly I added a little slug mainly because I thought it was funny. I combined a total of 8 images.
PART II: VECTOR
Title: Self Portrait
Semester/Year: Spring 2024
Software: Adobe Illustrator
I chose bright and neon colors because that is how I feel on the inside: very colorful and different from each other but somehow they go together well. I feel like I have an eclectic set of interests. I was inspired by my literal face shape and hair style. The most challenging part of this project was the fact that I accidently deleted it when I was done because the software crashed and then I didn’t save the recovered file before closing out. I tried to remake it as best I could but I just don’t think I reached the level of creativity and texture that I had in the deleted version unfortunately.
