The Selfie
Masked and Disguised Selfies
Costume Selfies
the character I became was a villain type with the mask on but a sweet innocent person underneath. I became this person because it something that I like I find it interesting how someone can be both when they have certain things.
I used a paper bag, graphite stick, string, glue and some pastels.
I think that most of the creating of the mask went very well and finding the right outfit to go with it.
I think that I could of made it more 3d if I had more materials and time and I could of added more details.
the style of the masks looks very strange and I like strange things.
personally I think it was as I do not like showing my face and it allows you to make your character appear more like themselves.
yes and no; no as it is not you as it is a character of someone else but yes as the character could have traits like yours so it may be a self portrait.

collage
- Select the 6 images that you feel best represent you.
- Make a pile of these 6 pages on your desk.
- Take the top page and cut a hole in it (Note: it doesn't have to be perfect). Put both pieces at bottom of your pile.
- Take the (new) top page and tear it in half. Put both pieces at the bottom of your pile.
- Take the (new) top page and cut out a shape at random. Put both pieces at the bottom of your pile.
- Take the (new) top page and cut round an object. Put both pieces at the bottom of your pile.
- Take the (new) top page and tear a strip from the (top or bottom) edge. Put both pieces at the bottom of your pile.
- Take the (new) top page, and cut or tear it in whichever way you choose. Put the pieces at the bottom of your pile.
- Place the A3 sheet of cartridge paper in front of you (portrait or landscape format).
- Without altering them, arrange the pieces of paper from your pile on the A3 sheet to create a pleasing collage. Carefully photograph your first arrangement.
- Again, without altering them, repeat this process, re-arranging the various elements on the A3 sheet until you are happy with the results. Photograph carefully.
- You may now adapt the pieces in any way you like - cutting, tearing etc. Make a new collage, this time sticking them to the A3 sheet of cartridge paper.
- Photograph your finished collage carefully.
- On your Selfies page add the title Selfie Instruction Collage.
- Copy and paste this list of instructions.
- Add a Gallery and upload the images you have taken today of your collages.
- Write a brief evaluation (WWW/EBI) reflecting on what it was like to make a collage by following instructions and how you feel about the results.
- Answer the question: Is the collage a self-portrait?
- If you complete all of this, try experimenting with layering the collage using the single-colour function on the photocopier
Further experimentation:
Import the photographs of your collages into Photoshop and experiment with manipulating them using the various tools available. Remember to take screen shots (Cmd + Shift + 4, then draw a box) of the process so you can also add these to your webpage. Also, remember to save the resulting images as Jpegs (File > Export > Save for Web, select Jpeg High) and add them to your website.

This is an interesting collage as it comprises aspects of me that I find in my room. The first thing that is seen in my room is my wall of images, I love actors from other countries. I also have photographs of my family members so it is a portrait of me without me being in the image.
WWW: I think that I prefer the original collage because I love the color combination and the different aspects of the collage. The color photocopied one is a range of colors but it is not what I like.
EBI:
I think it would be better if I could of layered my images better. I think that some areas are too crowded and some areas are hidden. I don't like the photocopy version as it doesn't show many of the details and hides bits even more.
