Project 2A - Self-Titled
PROJECT 2A
We started off the project by first brain-storming on how the outcome would represent us as an individual and the style we were going for. We also searched for some references to help us visualize our
My Ideation:
"The idea I have for this project was to express my dark and light sides using certain aesthetics I really enjoyed growing up. I used to love steampunk, cyberpunk and dystopian type genres. I also noticed the type of aesthetics I like while exploring on Pinterest have a fantasy type feel to it as well.
By dark and light sides I meant was regarding my inner demons and the good that people see in me that I don’t see in myself. I thought of incorporating a shadow to show the dark side or a glitch effect. The aesthetics can come in to show my qualities. Fantasy genre to show I’m a dreamer, dystopian or cyberpunk to show a darker side because cyberpunk is usually very dark with neon lights, steampunk to show my intellectual side using the cogs from the aesthetic. Since there are some qualities in myself that other people see that I don’t notice, a blindfolded type of imagery can also be used to express it."

Self Photography:
First Attempt:
I spent a lot time playing around with the elements and trying to get it to look and feel like how I want it to. Most of the elements were either photographed by me or made using Adobe Illustrator. I also painted the background using the brush tool in Adobe Photoshop. I was quite happy with the outcome because it gave off the fantasy feel that I wanted and it also followed most of the elements in my sketch.
Final Submission:
After feedback, I changed my style completely to show more of the photography of myself better. I followed the advice that was given and went with a more editorial style and added daisies and text. I made some iterations of the edit to experiment with different colours and styles.
Below is my final submission for this assignment.
FEEDBACK
