The assignment was to make a digital self portrait. There were four steps in completing the project. Step one was to have someone take a profile shot of me, step two was to trace the picture in illustrator, step three was too add text and step four was to create an edition of 2 images with varying color palettes. The final project had to have two different images. One had to be complex while the second one had to be simple. I use illustrator and the pen tool.
I traced from my head to below my hips. After my first silhouette was done, I then made an outline with one of my favorite quotes. “Carry yourself with class and dignity” by Dr. Wayne Montague. When my second silhouette was done I engrave it with the words “Be a star”. On the first silhouette I put two burst because I am a star and all stars need their spot light. Since the second one had to be simple, I didn’t give it a background.
