Vector Portrait

1.) I chose this person for my portrait because I'm a fan of Formula One racing, and fan of this driver.

2.) I thought it captured his face really well, and I liked the way the colors meshed together.

3.) The easy areas were the glasses, beanie, and shirt. However, the logos and the lips were the most difficult.

12 Shot Narrative

1. What do you want the viewer to walk away knowing?
    - I want the viewer to walk away knowing that I have cool outfits, and that I have great ideas for great results in pictures.

2. How did you capture and portray your subject matter to show your perspective?
   - I went to locations that I thought fit me best, and the poses also had a good way of showing my perspective. All of the colors helped portray me as a BEAST.

      - I used the line tool for my text.
 
  3. How does the photo you took go with the final image?

1. What tools did you use while composing your images in photoshop?
    - I used Scale change, text, editing the text, and paint bucket.

2. Which one could use imporovement? How?
    - The one I feel that needs more improvement is the Frames. It was difficult to find frames around campus, so if there was better scenery, it would have been much better.

3. Which compositional technique, do you think was the most successful? Why?
    - Macro, because the picture was perfectly focused, and the background was blurry, which brought all of the attention to the flower.
