Hidden Self Reflection

1. This image shows my alter ego by specifying the things people might have not known about me. I have pictures of me when I’m classy and when I party. The pictures I chose and the way I put them together tell a story about who I am as a person and what I think about. I don’t like to tell people about my nerdy qualities but I love astronomy and geology so I put a picture of the earth and mountains in the back. Also not a lot of people know that I love to scuba dive so I put a picture of the sea with all the colourful fish in it. I also love warm places so for my back round I chose to put a picture I took in Mexico of the beach and palm trees. 


2. The aspect of my image I find the most successful is probably my eating a car picture because it shows how comical I can be and what kind of sense of humour I have. I feel that this part of my image really gets peoples attention and makes them look and ask questions about it. It is creative and colourful; the car itself really makes you stare.


3. The aspect of my image I find least successful would be the plane flying through the sky. It doesn’t really look how I planed it, I wanted it to be crazier and stand out. It was suppose to look like its in the middle of a battle but I didn’t have time to add mist or fog. It was the only picture that I found that was nice and big enough to crop. I wanted to show my love for history but it just looks like I like planes, which I do but not what I was going for.  


4. If I had a chance to redo this project there isn’t too much I would change. I would definitely make a better plane, with fog and historic colouring by making it black and white or sepia. Also I would do a better job cropping the pictures. Some of the pictures I have are rough edged and not very smooth so it looks too much like it’s been cut out and pasted. I would also add some more pictures of the sea, maybe a scuba diver so it could further get my message about scuba diving. I also wouldn’t mind getting some more colour because I feel that not a lot of people know of my love for neon colours.
