Silhouette

The assignment was about that we had to create a self-portrait of are selves has to be two pages of it and has to have a background also has to have words in it. The steps we took in this project we had to first take a picture of ourselves than put it on our computers and trace the picture on illustrator. When we did all of that we had to get a background to the picture but we could have created anything for our background. But we had to use illustrator for a program.

 

I had to trace my image though out the whole thing and yes I did mess up a lot and I got frustrated because I did. The text I use was simple just regular text but I use the words to go with the picture. My background for my first one was a lot of orbs and put them on top of each other with my picture and the text behind one or two orbs. The second one I put my picture next vitamin water and put the text above the picture.

 

The way that I cropped my piece was interesting because I never token a picture and trace the picture and put it in the document. My background for the first one was that I was trying to create a space feeling where I’m a shadow in space and for the second one I put a vitamin water bottle in the picture because I like vitamin water. The text for the first one is simple and for the second I was trying to be funny.

 

Honestly I didn’t feel that I did that good on this project because I was working with something new. But if I had to choose one part of the project I’d like about it would be the first picture I did the whole. A new tool that I learned is that the trace tool and the shapes tool because with the shape tool I learned different shapes like the orb.
