Self Portrait Reflection

I felt like the strongest part of my piece was the color composition because of how the objects matched the color of whatever section they were in and it all came together to make a rainbow of things that described me. The part i think i could've worked on more was the fact of having my objects look like they're interacting with each other because although some were on top of each other and not just messily pasted on top, i felt like i could've done better in that aspect.
 
It was really easy actually finding the pictures because i know myself a lot and the things i like so i had way more than 13 things to actually choose from but didn't want to overwhelm myself.The difficult part however, was changing the pictures to avoid copyright infringement. I didn't want to butcher the picture so much that the object and or character was unidentifiable, but i think i did an okay job of adding oil pant filters and color filters enough to where I changed the picture without it infringing on anything.

I used the move tool to move my pictures around and position them the way i wanted to. I used the crop and various lasso tools to pick and piece different parts of photos to separate them. i also used the shape tool to separate the colored sections i have, then lowered the opacity on them so they made the objects under it their color. One last one i used was the filter and colorizing. This was so i could distort and change my photo enough so they didn't infringe on anything. I demonstrated the goal by making a vibrate and colorful picture that shows my personality and what type of person i am, which is an outgoing and expressive one. If i could do this project differently though, I would choose picture that could describe me, but also can interact with each other if i were to put them together.
