Self Portrait experiment on Photoshop

 

This is a self portrait I created on Photoshop, to create this I took a photo of my face, uploaded it to Photoshop and used the lasso tool to draw around my face. Once I had done this I selected what I had drawn and opened it up on to a new page then added a background and words that describe me all around the outside. 

About Me

About

Hi there, my name is Laura Hudd, I was born in Rotherham and grew up in Rawmarsh. My hobbies include horseriding, shopping and chilling with friends. My favourite tv programme is 90210 and my favourite musicians/ singers are Taylor Swift and Alexandra Burke. My favourite band is Sea of Lions.

I have set up this blog for a project I am doing at college called Identity. This blog will include my artists research, my journal, my experiments and my work.

Blog Research

http://www.artsjournal.com/

 This blog was created by arts journal. The site is a digest of some of the best arts and cultural journalism in the English-speaking world. I like the fact that there is a lot of information on the site however I think that the homepage should be simpler as when you first open the blog it is very confusing as there is a lot of information all at once. Also I think it could be more colourful as it looks slightly boring.

http://www.riverhunt.org/an-exploration-of-identity-through-art/

 The blog has been created by River Hunt and is about identity in art. I really like the blog as it has inspired me in my project as it includes many art pieces and it is is simple. I also like the layout of the blog and like the fact that it is colourful.

 This blog has been created by Existence Project and is about identity and existence in art. Existence is an interactive artwork, in which participants exchange a passport-sized photo for a link to this blog upon which all the images will be added. I like this blog and think it is equal with photos and text which balances it out nicely.
