Project 8 - Mirrors

For this project I decided to go into my mindset and find out what makes me the person that I am today. This is a very personal project I feel. As I will be going into my past and to be honest it is not a very comfortable subject for me to talk about so forgive me for being vague but I just do not want to share in full, about my past.

This post is more of a diary entry summing a huge chunk of my life and putting into perspective and understanding why these particular events that have happened have made me this way and how these previous 7 projects have led me up to this point in where I create an entirely personal piece.

I started to research about how growing up under different circumstances have an overall effect about you as a person. Meaning so when you grow up your personality will reflect your upbringing in a way that dictates your emotions so to speak. I therefore understood what kind of a person I am and the way I think, so because of this, these 8 projects I can relate to as a form of growing up, a transition if you will.

Starting from the very first project all the way to this final project I feel like the transition that has happened is like; us going from a small child all the way to an adult. That does not mean I did not work hard, I did. What I am getting at here with each project I learnt something new. Even if I did somewhat 'Screw' up, but that is not the point and that is clearly subjective. Due to my ever learning nature I still progressed to the next project taking into account what I have learnt from the previous projects. Thus learning from my mistakes.

This final project is something totally different as I have read in between the lines of the brief. I feel as if this is a summation of this whole Graphic Design year. I decided to reflect it on my process of my upbringing meaning, going from child to an understanding, mature adult. This whole year I have changed and this project puts it into perspective on how much I have changed positively.

This is what I have created. Using the outline of my name I filled the innards with my personality, attributes and my attitude through out life. To give you an understanding of what kind of a person I am and how I go about thinking/progressing with these projects.
