EGO: A Personal Project
This was an individual school project aimed at exploring our own personalities. The project brief was as followed:
"Every person reacts differently in different settings and when they are with different groups of people – although fundamentally they are the same person. In four rows of three squares, create a self portrait based on four different settings. For each of the four rows, use the first column to represent yourself and the second column to represent a setting and the third column to represent an imagined outcome."
This project required us to play around with colours and apply the knowledge of colour theories to create 12 different illustrations.
First Row:
The concept: The story behind this is that I can’t function well in the morning because I’m a night owl, so in the morning, I’m just like a walking corpse, or also known as a zombie.
Colours used:
(1) I'm a night owl: Blue, orange and yellow (Split complementary)
(2) In the morning: Green and yellow (Analogous)
(3) I'm zombified: Green and red (Complementary)
Second Row:
The concept: The story behind this row is that I’m both a cool and fierce person, and if I were to be in a very heated argument, or in an exaggerated fashion, war, I would shoot blades at my enemies. The blades shot are representative of my words, because I’m aware that I’m brutally honest, which could be hurtful, but sometimes, the truth needs to be told.
Colours used:
(1) I'm a penknife: Purple (Monochromatic)
(2) At war: Grey (Monochromatic)
(3) I shoot blades at enemies: Purple, green and orange (Split complementary)
Third Row:
The concept: The story behind this row is how I dislike shopping. I chose a sloth because sloths have long limbs and are quite lazy, which is quite similar to me when it comes to shopping. Shopping is something that I don't really fancy, as I only shop if I have something specific to puchase. Usually when I'm out shopping with family or friends, I will always be on a lookout for seats to sit while they are browsing through items becuase I get tired easily walking around.
Colours used:
(1) I'm a sloth: Orange (Monochromatic)
(2) When shopping: Red and Pink (Analogous)
(3) I just want to hide in bags so that I don't have to walk: Red and orange (Analogous)
Fourth Row:
The concept: The story behind this row is how after I go to art school, I become a more skillful person as represented by the polished ice sculpture from just an initial cube of ice.
Colours used:
(1) I'm an ice cube: Blue (Monochromatic)
(2) In art school: Blue and green (Analogous)
(3) I become a polished ice sculpture: Blue and orange (Complementary)
