I represented an honest portrayal of what I think defines me. I used images of my home life and representations of my family through text and experiences that I then shared with the group. These media’s caused me to look further into my reasoning behind my choices.

Others showed a somewhat deeper and others times more surface level of themselves, much as I did. Their multi media’s caused them to explain and thinker deeper into their experiences and the meanings behind each image, text, audio, or video. These media’s caused reflection and explanation and often revealed personal thoughts and feelings.

These files became a virtual explanation of everything that I feel characterises and identifies who i am. To someone viewing them without explanation or no knowledge of who I am maybe wouldn’t make a lot of sense or be of much importance, but for me it represents a lot. However saying that, I believe one could learn a lot about me from a surface level when viewing my ‘self portrait’, as some aspects are very self explanatory, while others have more meaning behind it.

Were you nervous?

What did others say?

Was it useful?

What was tough and why?

Could you improve?

I was nervous showing the group my ‘self portrait’ as it’s a somewhat intrusive and personal reflection of myself. However, there is a lot that I’ve included that I’m proud and excited to show others. I hoped that people would enjoying seeing my self-portrait, and the feedback was helpful positive. I was offered advice to maybe have a more constant flow between my photos and this was constructive. I was confused as to what I was going for in my visual representations, and to think of it as a cohesive group of photos was helpful. I think I could improve on this brief by maybe being even more honest with myself and revealing a more underlying layer of my thoughts and actions. I felt I did this through the text I have written but I could have expanded on that further.
