Identity Collage
YEAH IM NOT DOING OKAY


1. The first thing I did to accomplish this was to take a self portrait of myself and open a new file on Photoshop. I then placed my self portrait and removed the background of the green screen. Then I placed the background image. I then added the items that symbolize things about me. After that I used blend modes on some layers that need it. I then added a broken mirror effect because my luck is awful and for another reason that you need to find out yourself. I then added a clipping mask onto the unversed layer and added a second broken mirror effect to add to the mask, showing that the mask I wear is worn out.
2. Blend modes are options that allow the modification of pixel interaction, which can give a layer a unique look. I used blend modes on the top three layers.
3. My collage represents my identity by giving a feeling of isolation, which I find peaceful, but also the exhaustion I feel. I used an image of a mask, as i act entirely different at home and in public. I also used a wave, as I feel pressure to already know what to do with my life. I also used a sketchbook as drawing is a way i avoid my internal conflicts going on in my head. This seems all negative, but there is positive in my collage. I used the kingdom hearts "Dive to the heart" image to represent how the ties to people I have will always be in my heart, and used the Kingdom hearts quote "May your heart be your guiding key" to represent how even if I have no clue what to do, my heart will guide me. I also added the voidpunk flag which, for those who don't know, voidpunk is an aesthetic for people who don't feel human. The reason I added this is because I feel and act way different than everyone else.
4. The only thing I think is successful in this project is the images I used representing who I am. I think that some images I used are kinda corny, but this is me, so I guess it's fine. 5. Based on the learning target, I think my project meets the expectations, although I could always improve. I think it meets the learning target as I used multiple medias that reveal thing that I normally don't share, like the fact that I'm not my true self, and that I feel pressured.
