Adobe Photoshop - My Silly Portrait

In this Design unit which we started not long ago, we're working with Adobe Photoshop. Our first task was to make a silly portrait of ourselves using the style of Hanoch Piven - Making portraits out of what's special of a person, of what that person is like, and their interest. It is really fun! The above is my second one, which is the final one for now. Let me explain it a bit. The eyes are brain - Well, I think I do good in studies and I always think (I'm not trying to brag but A big part of my life is studying). I read books so I used the book as my ears because he shape fit. I put the keyboards because I play the piano (Grade 6). I think of new ideas and solutions, so I have a light bulb as my nose - "ding!". I thought I'd just put the test paper as my arms and body because the shape would fit and that's about studies too. The head is kind of like what my mind is used for, well, I do do other stuffs like entertainment of course. One thing not mentioned is the science flask, that's because I like chemistry (I also like other subjects). The hand shaking above is just to make it more friendly, I don't want to show off or offend people. The soccer ball is a reminding sign that I play games and do sports also. I am okay at soccer, but I like it, that's why it's there.

This is my first one when I explored Adobe Photoshop on the first lesson of this unit. I didn't like it as the colour behind is too dark and dim. I don't like the hair as it looks ugly, for me. Also, this whole thing for me is too showing off, especially the words. But it's just a joke kind of thing.

Up till now, I enjoyed. It was really fun and let us use our creativity. We learnt how to crop pictures, add other images, use the eraser and paint brush tool. We learnt how to use the magic wand tool, text... I like it very much!

This may not look as good as the one on the very top. However, this is my very very final one that I just did last week - 23rd of April. For me, the background colour was way better. And the yellow, thick line around me made me much sharper and eye-catching. However, we were actually asked to take away the original photo taken, and it was actually just for reference. And I accidentally deleted my old file somehow, so I had to work on a new one which is pretty much the same. The only main difference you may notice is my head (and that the photo was gone, yes). It is a blue ball which means I am a calm and cool person. The "atom head" make the idea of my interest in Science more obvious. And of course, the shape fits a head, I have a lot more interests than Science.
