Imagine if I was a featured artist in a magazine. There would be an interview, glimpses of my life, some quotes, and a self portrait. Theoretically the editors would include pieces from my portfolio, but this yearbook spread is my work. While planning my layout, I wanted to include a gallery wall, which mimicked how I decorated my bedroom back home, a rather personal view into my life. The many versions of myself represent the many facets to my interests and personality. The first page introduces me more as an illustrator, while the second interview page showcases my life. Front and center on the first page is the largest version of myself as an idealized self portrait, drawn in a way I see myself and how I would like for others to see me. One version of me greets the audience in a cartoon form, welcoming them to my little gallery wall and interview. On the next page is an image of myself cosplaying, this is used to showcase my other hobby and as reference to one of the interview answers. The final image of me, at the bottom of the page, is slightly cut off with my face hidden. Ultimately showing that no matter how much I reveal about myself there are still things unknown to the audience.
For my self assessment I would grade this spread at an A- or a 9/10. Although I was able to include all the requirements in an interview layout, I feel as if it lacks some creativity. The total time it took me to complete was about 3-4 hours of actual work.
