The initial vision I had for my yearbook spread was very different from the product I ended up with. I had a hard time coming up with a composition I was happy with and felt portrayed an accurate picture of who I am. I also really wanted the whole spread to come together as one, as opposed to just being a bunch of elements thrown onto a page together. I jumped from idea to idea a few different times, starting over a couple of times, which is why it took me so much time to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to do my spread in watercolour because it’s a medium I really enjoy working with and am quite comfortable with. Working in watercolour also allowed my finished piece to resemble the general style of art I often like to do. I chose the colours mostly because they’re colours I like and think go decently well together. I put the elements I found most important in the top half of the spread: my name, portrait, words to describe myself, and my introductory statement. The other three, in my opinion, lesser important tidbits of information I placed along the sides. I changed the style of writing for my secret to making it smaller and placed it in the beam of the car’s headlights to imply the light revealing something that otherwise isn’t common knowledge or openly visible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would give myself an 8\/10 on this assignment. I’m generally quite happy with the finished product, but there are a few things I could have done differently. Firstly, the car wasn’t supposed to be a central element of the spread. I think the size and way I placed it, as well as the lack of other visual elements, gives off the impression that I’m really into cars, which I’m not really. The car was only supposed to represent the 70s. By the end of the project, which is when I painted the background, I really just wanted to be done after having spent so many hours on it, so I didn’t spend as much time on it as I could have to make it look nicer. Lastly, I could have gone out of my comfort zone a little bit by actually giving myself a face. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
