Identity Project

As I enjoyed the process of my last piece, I decided to try it again using an image of my friend. For her symbols I decided to focus on her interests as she is an incredibly passionate person and her hobbies influence her a lot. For example her love of music is a very important aspect of her life; she attends gigs regularly, plays the guitar and keyboard and hopes to become involved in music in some way in her later life. Her other love is America. She has visited New York and hopes one day to live in California. Furthermore she is doing 'American Politics' at university. To highlight these aspects, I used a music note to create the shape of her eye and shading on her face, this symbolises her vision of working in the music business. In addition, I used the American colours throughout her face however her central features are predominantly red to reference the central redness of the United Kingdom flag and how, although America may be her ultimate passion, she is equally as proud of her British roots.
