Final Project

These are the 3 pictures of my final project. My big idea of it is My Dream.

When I get the requirement of the final project, I tried to think put a word which can represent myself and show what kind of person I am. After 2 days’ thinking, I found “Dream” is quite suitable. Everybody has dreams during his whole life. Some dream may change and others may be still there for a whole life. So I think everyone’s dreams are unique. And I can use them to show myself. Before work, I determined to make 3 pictures of it. The first one is about the my dreams in my childhood. The second is about my dreams now. The last one is about my dreams in future. And I just decided to use 2 photos of myself in the picture and a character of an old man in the last one, which represents the dreams in youth and now and future.

When I began work on it. I found it really difficult to find a picture of myself when I was young, so I used a character of boy in my first picture, a photo of myself in the second one and a cartoon old man in the last one. The second thing I think is how to make the 3 pictures into a series. To make it, I tried several methods. The size I used in my picture is different, the first and last is longer than the second and lower than it, which means I am taller than I was young and I will be short again when I was very old. Another method is I use 3 small pictures, the first is a sunrise, the second is sunshine in the noon as a background and the last is a sunset. I used them because if we treat our life as one day, our childhood is like a sunrise, now is a noon, and a sunset when we are old. The last method I used is some same dreams, I put them in the same position, such as the computer. And the position of my body, these also make my pictures in a series.

When this project was finished, I always look at my pictures and have work on it again several times. I changed the position of some objects to make it more comfortable. I think now the 3 pictures have some connections and look like a series. The dreams in my picture can easily show what I like and how I think of things, so they can identify myself. So I think it achieves my goal to identify myself.
