Criteria: The concept of identity is tied to how we perceive ourselves and to what others see when they look at us. In this assignment, you will have a chance to deconstruct/reconstruct and re-frame images of yourselves or another person (as literal portraits or abstract images) with a subject matter or text of your choosing. The goal is to redefine how you represent yourself or another person visually by giving additional framing and context to reshape your images' meaning. Be intentional in how your design communicates your overall concept. How you visually represent your subject matter and how you define "portrait" is up to you. Choose one of the prompts below to help in the framing of your book concept.
For my book, I did topic framing. In the Summer of 2022, I was fortunate enough to travel to Europe for 95 days and got to visit 10 different countries. It felt like a dream when I was over there and I took many pictures so I wanted to use the pictures that I took and give them a dream-like setting. Below, I put the original photo that I took and then the edited version next to it.
