Open Project — Beginnings

I initially had no idea where I was going with this project. I looked at the assignment details and saw that a self-portrait was an option, so I decided to go with that. I took a photo of myself, warped it, and added the cutout filter. For the background I used an image of a painting that I did in Painting 1 earlier this semester and content-aware filled the empty space to make it a landscape image (rather than portrait). The left side seemed a bit empty, so I used a picture of my cat with the same effects as myself. Both images have the vivid light blending mode. I'm not sure where else I'll take this.


After class 4/27/2022:

I applied some of the feedback I received and I made my cat appear more normal as to not make her get lost in the background. I'm not sure if I'll keep this idea or take it in a different direction...

I was struggling to come up with ideas with this project, but one of the first to come to mind was creating a few images demonstrating how anxiety feels to me. Here is an attempt at an image: I wanted to convey the feeling of always being stared at and judged by everyone around you. I need to make this image have a sense of time or motion but I'm not sure how. It's quite dark, and I wasn't sure how to change that and still keep an unsettling feeling... So I added a gradient to add more contrast between the figure and background.
