Project 1: Self-Portrait

- Create our own self-portrait in A4 size.
- We may use any medium of choice.
- Explore various ideas and approaches before deciding on a final idea.
- Write a 150-to 200-word rationale for the final idea.
- Save in PDF file and upload the final idea in e-blog.

Reference:

Figure1.1.1-1.1.3 reference from pinterest

First outcome:
My first outcome was I try to create my own picture by just using word of my name(Koh Han Rong)

Figure 2.1 My selfie

After that, since my sketch was sucked, I try to use Photoshop to make it happen.  I cropped my image out and add some word in it.

Figure 2.2 Cropped image

Figure 2.3 First outcome

For this first outcome, it was quite interested after I define my concept because I never done something like this before. 

Second outcome:
For the second outcome I also try to use a image of me to explore it.

Figure3.1 chosen image

At the first i simplily sketch out the body shape( sorry about my sketching skill)  and i try to add many water color in it to let the image look harmony.

Figure3.2 Body shapes

Figure3.3 First attempt

After I tr my first attempt, I send it to Mr. Charles to get some feedback's from him. He say that don't fear to make larger, show my facial features but using icons and keep that crown.No need to show text at all. I try to make another one in Adobe illustrator after the feedbacks.

Reflection:
the reason why I made this self-portrait was that i think sometimes i think everything was a burden to me so I like to be invisible as i can. For the crown that i put means, that i try to be myself all the time in the past and also future. The stick that stabs in my body means, i can easily be hurt by other people's word and i wanna change it.
