Project 1 Issues

I didn't have many problems with this project, but I did have a few. Along with the difficulty of printing quality photos, it was really difficult to shape the photos inside the confines of the Yin and Yang sides. It ended up looking sloppy and it took me a few tries before it was shaped correctly. I also had issues with finding pictures of my friends and family where I wasn't in the photo as well. The "self portrait without selfless" concept was challenging, but made sense to me because a picture of my face isn't going to say anything about me. Though it was a challenging assignment I got something out of it and got to express myself in a format that I don't usually use. I also gained insight into myself through this project. Since I separated the photos into the Yin and Yang sides, I got to choose which photos meant the most to me. I struggled with coming up with a creative way to show my photos in a physical format. There was always the option to cut and glue onto a poster board, but that wouldn't meet the creativity criteria for the project. There was a lot of brainstorming needed for this project because you had to come up with a sort of theme and find photos that correlate accordingly. Along with this, you also had to express who you are as a person. I feel like this was the most difficult concept for me to develop because I personally believe that I continue to discover who I am everyday. It was hard to pin point something that I could physically show people to express who I saw myself as. Although I encountered a few small issues and a long list of brainstorming, I love how my project turned out. I am so proud of my work that I plan to hang my piece up on the wall in my apartment!
