Self-portrait reflection
I truly enjoyed creating the self-portrait. I started with only a simple shot of myself (taken with the computer camera), and ended up with a creative image that expresses who I am. I layered a picture of the sky (from Flickr) and a shot of piano keys to symbolize my love of nature and music, and chose "f" (for francesca) and "7" (my favorite number) as my number and letter. I repreated f's and 7's and a rainbow-esque pattern to show my openness and love of diversity. I used a watercolor effect on my actual portrait to make it look more artsy, and filtered the piano keys and sky with different effects to create a more varied, interesting texture. I thought using Photoshop was a lot of fun and I liked using different techniques to create a new image.
