Self Portrait

I first took a photo of myself wake boarding and photoshopped the shark into it to give it a different feel and meaning. By doing this it helps to portray more about myself than just that I like to wakeboard or spend time on the water. It also gives the idea of adventure and risk. The end image is different in the way that I had originally pictured it. Even after watching tutorials about Illustrator I found it much harder to create content with than photoshop. I was able to give it a basic cartoony feel by using large shapes with sharp edges and color changes. In the end I like how it turned out as more of a fake cartoon look versus a realistic picture. By leaving out detailed parts of the face, water, shark, etc you are forced to look at the work as a whole rather than individual assets.
