Exhibit 10

Alter Ego

Background:

I wanted to create a design that could have multiple meanings and would make the audience think. I also wanted to make a badass piece with a strong female lead. I also wanted to use the filters in this design and play around with changing the way the pixels look. I went with the cutout filter to create more of a panting look.

Design:

Contrast: The photo of the women is in black and white which creates contrast. Adding color of the snake also creates contrast side by side with the absence of color.

Repetition: I repeated the cutout filter with both the snake and the girl.

Alignment: I aligned the snake so the heads were opposite of each other and their eyes where also aligned.

Proximity: The snake is very close to the to show that the snake has a relation with the girl and makes the audience think.
