During Mrs.weigand's classroom we had to create a self portrait and turn it into a silhouette-portrait. the steps we had to complete to do this project was use adobe illustrator. we had to take a picture and use the pen tool on the program to make an outline of the picture then make 2 different types of pictures that included text,designs and color. i did not crop my image i kept it the way i had took the picture. i had used text that did curves its called the type on a path tool. that tool helped a lot to make a kind of artsy text. the background on the first silhouette was sun rays and lots of curves and right colors. the second image was a blend of three images all including me and words blended inside all of them.
since i didn't crop the picture i didn't need to try to make a perfect picture, everything on the picture flowed correctly and made the final project look very nice. the style and text make the song i picked looked very nice. the song speaks about a girls love making someone so high. so the curves in the picture and being blended into the second picture goes exactly with the 2 pictures.
looking at my final pictures i think i did very good, on the rubric mrs.weigand gave i would give myself a 20,15,15,15 and 15. the best thing about my self portrait is the background brightness and all the deigns that surround the picture. the new tools i used was the pen tool and layers tool. i learned new techniques with illustrator. i was always being used to photoshop but i got used to illustrator quickly.
