The principle
A self-portrait does not need a face. Objects, colours, places, habits and words can describe a person more truthfully than a photograph. Designing a portrait of yourself asks what you value and how you want to be seen.
Objective. Express identity through symbolic and visual choices.
The brief
Design a poster that is a self-portrait without showing your face or body.
Constraints
- No photographs or drawings of yourself
- Use at least three personal symbols, objects or references
- Your name may appear, but it is not required
You're done when
- A personal, revealing portrait
- Meaningful symbols
- A cohesive composition
Stretch goal
Design a self-portrait of yourself ten years from now.
