Yearbook Spread<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I created this yearbook spread in order to display my person through visual means.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, I combined all of my 5 keywords: puns, hoarder, storyteller, competitive, and resourceful, and tried to connect them to find a common topic and bring all my different personality quirks together. Thus, the theme of “Bees” was created. Bees are hoarders, storytellers (or rather they can communicate well to tell a story of where to find resources), competitive, and resourceful. While they may not tell puns, they are an excellent subject to create bee-autiful<\/em>\u00a0puns from.<\/p>\n

After the theme was established, everything else fell into place. I decided that instead of using a honeycomb design, as I originally planned, I would draw bees buzzing around as they carried signs of the blurbs I had for each required element. Then hanging from these signs would be related imagery. For example, with the “historical period we would like to be born in” section, I chose the Ancient Greek period and drew a laurel, a prominent symbol of that age. This allowed me to group information together and keep them separate from one another.\u00a0I also added pale yellow flowers in the background to minimize the amount of white space and add to the theme.<\/p>\n

On the left side of the spread, I decided\u00a0to keep all the information directly about me (name, nicknames, photo, introductory statement) there. Since we usually read from left to right, I wanted the viewer’s eye to first find all these information about myself before delving into further details about my personality and preferences.<\/p>\n

Through this spread, I hope to show that I am a simple person who loves using colour and cute bees to describe myself: a competitive and resourceful storyteller who likes to hoard and tell awful puns.<\/p>\n

On a scale of 1-10, I give myself a 9.5 out of ten. I have created a fun and simple layout that accurately matches and describes who I am as a person by including all the required elements. The only thing I am unsatisfied with is with the colouring of my portrait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
