Self Portraits

Kuler Color Self Portrait

This is my self portrait! The blue and white color scheme wasn't of my own choice; it was generated on the Kuler website from a beach scene. Admittedly, I did tweak it a bit, but the main colors were from the picture :) I actually like these colors better than the ones I chose for my original one below.

I honestly didn't have many issues with this project; everything went very smoothly. In the beginning my layers kept intersecting but a friend recommended that I lock the layers and that nipped that problem in the butt right away. Another small bump in the road was trying to figure out which colors were darker, which were lighter, etc. because these are all different tints of blue so it made it a bit harder, but I got it worked out in the end. It wasn't that much of a problem.

The real issue I had was with the pattern background. For some reason it just didn't want to work for me but like everything else it ended up all right.

Overall I really enjoyed this project. The end result was pretty awesome :)

Original Color Self Portraits

I really like this color scheme too! I feel like I look like a strawberry or watermelon :P The only thing about this color scheme is that you can't really see the folds in my shirt very well. It's a minor detail but I feel like they really made the project come to life in the Kuler Color version.
