Self Portraits w/ text 

Purpose

To learn how to put text with your self portrait to communicate something positive about “you”..interests, passions, etc.

To think differently and creatively about your photographs;

To become familiar with basic photoshop tools.

For this self-portrait assignment, I got to experiment with different angles and settings to get the picture that I wanted. I probably wouldn't have done this sort of thing if it wasn't for my assignment. Overall, my favorite part of this assignment was the outcome. It got me thinking on where my quote should go while taking the self-portrait while styling it in a way that I thought was nice. While I liked the outcome more, I also liked the process of it. I liked downloading fonts because it gave me an opportunity to be more specific with the type of font that I wanted to use. I also got the opportunity to learn more about photoshop and layer styling by playing around with font features, colors, and placement that make your text stand out more than it normally would.
