My hair is something that represents me a lot, it is what stands out the most of my appearance and is what most people remember, so I wanted to include it as a main subject in my yearbook spread. For this, I thought about drawing myself upside down, using my hair to write on it and to symbolize that I like to see things from a different perspective. I have always liked the contrast purple and green make, and since I decided purple was going to be the main color, I used green as a secondary color, and for not to make it monotonous, I added a few details in other colors.
I wanted it to create a piece that reflected how I want to show myself, for that reason, I also included tiny items such as stars or a rainbow, to create an atmosphere of magic and fantasy. I wanted it to look fun, lively and convey happiness. I am very interested in calligraphy, typography, and lettering, that is why I chose to write it all by hand. I also think the style of the letters shows a lot of me since they look delicate but animated.
I am satisfied with the result, I would give myself a 8/10 in this assignment since I think I achieved to show my personality and obtain an aesthetic piece. Therefore, I would have liked to do a better job with some of the letters. The whole process of making this piece, from the first sketches to the final result, I spent almost seven hours.
