Unit reflection

Identity is a concept that refers to the characteristics, traits, behaviors, beliefs, and values that make a person unique. On a personal level, identity often refers to someone's sense of self, meaning how they view themself as compared to other people. During the unit, I found that identity can be about what you see through other things and not just yourself. 

The community assignment felt like the most successful to me because you can show/see what community(s) that someone identifies with. There were a lot of things that I could've used for that part of the unit but I chose to use concert pictures because that's one of the biggest things that I identify with. 

I thought that the self-identity assignment was the most challenging to do because I couldn't fit everything I wanted in one photo so I had to choose specific things to use and trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to use was hard.

I really enjoyed having to think about identity in multiple different ways and I think what I used for each part was unique. I think the pictures I used for each part had unique vibes to them and that they all really captured what identity is to me.

I would've spent more time specifically on the self-identity part of the unit so that the photos would turn out to be more of what I wanted them to be.
