The third project for my ENW 100 class is a self portrait assignment. This sounds like a unique, new and fun project to complete. The assignment asks us to create a self portrait of ourselves describing our likes, dislikes and goals in the future. In high school I was very creative when it came to pictures. I took various photography classes that will ultimately help me create a very innovative third project. This might come more difficult than it did in high school because my projects in high school were more pictures of other people and other things. This challenge should be very new and different than I have ever experienced. I am very used to using photoshop as an editing tool for my pictures but college does not provide this software so I will have to explore different editing tools. At the moment I am brainstorming the different way I can incorporate my life into a self portrait. At the end of the project we are asked to make a statement of goals which describes what we did to the photo. I think this is a great part of the assignment because sometimes pictures need explanation and words to describe whats going on. Everyone thinks differently and portrays everyone uniquely and therefore can have different perceptions of the project. In conclusion it think this assignment will be very challenging but fun at the same time. I can not wait to start brainstorming my idea for the self portrait.
