Selfie and Me
The overall image which I'm trying to convey is kind of a balance in colors and transparency in the background and to create emphasis
There are 5 seperate layers represented in my collage. I added a soccer ball to it because I have been playing this sport for the past 8 years. It has given me 3 teams that overtime have become different families. There's a picture of a DQ sign, I chose this image because every year that it opens my friends and I always go and get blizzards. Throughout the summer we constantly visit DQ and create memories. Rori the girl to the left is one of my closest friends. I met her when I lived in Connecticut 5 years ago and we still talk everyday. On the top right corner theres a picture of downtown Ann Arbor. The majority of my childhood has been spent in this town and downtown is probably one of my favorite places. The last picture that covers the whole collage is a picture of the sunsetting.
I erased the backgrounds of the soccer ball and DQ sign to make both objects the focal point. My selfie and the picture of Rori are the two first layers, the sun set covers the whole image but has become less opaque so your able to see the the selfie. I was nervous that the picture of downtown and the sun set were going to clash but both images are still pretty distinct.
Although I wouldn't be able to add everything to this image which represents me and my personality, these are 5 of the main things.

Images Used:
Double Exposure
In my selfie picture, the images I used were layered on top of the selfie of me. The landscape I took a picture of was the first layer in both pictures but the difference is that in the image it only takes up my figure. This image is also desaturated to make the color of the landscape pop more compared to the selfie image where all the colors were random and put on top of each other causing some weird affects. I purposely placed the sun in this image to be aligned with my lips where as in the selfie image I randomly placed all the five images that I took.
