Selfie Collage
Title: Interests
The overall message I am trying to convey in this self portrait project is what is close to me, and what I am interested in. The selfie first layer (the roller coaster) represents my interest in roller coasters. The second layer (sun set picture 1) was taken when I was babysitting some kids, and so it represents my love of money. The third layer (roller coaster train) represents my love of roller coasters also. My fourth layer (sun set picture 2) represents my love of good photography, I especially like taking photos of sunsets. My fifth and final layer (my cat) represents my pet cat, Sparky. I used many tools in photoshop to make this image what it is. I used the lasso tool to cut out the brown background of my selfie, and cut out the trees in the first sunset image. I used the lock tool to lock images I did not want to move while editing in place. And I used the eraser to to clean up some of the rough edges. I had fun doing this project, it is fun to make a collage showing who you are and what you are about.

Double Exposure
Artist Statement: I like my double exposure better because it looks more clean. The 5 layer selfie looks to crowded, while this double exposure looks nice a neat and more pleasing to the eye. It shows my interests very well because it is the only thing on my face/body, unlike the 5 layer selfie where there was a bunch of things your eyes had to focus on. In this case it is easy to see the one thing, and it looks really cool because with the white background everything stands out very nicely. Lastly, you can see both my selfie and the roller coasters very clearly, and they work nicely with each other, which is one of the things I like best about this double exposure.
