Self Portraits: Truth v.s Lie

You are going to create two self-portraits using scanned photographic material. One portrait tells the "Truth" (Hyper-real) about who you are and one tells a blatant "LIE." (Surreal). During the critique, we will attempt to figure out who you really are.

IMAGE SPECIFICATIONS:
Make images at 72 dpi.

Each image should be 640x480 pixels.

Save as a Photoshop file so we can view your layers.

ADDITIONAL PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:

1) Be prepared to JUSTIFY why exactly one image lies while one tells the truth.

2) Please work from at least three different scanned images.

3) Save your image as a Photoshop file (it will be large) so that we can view the process of construction.

IDEAS: Think about the portraits we spoke about in reference to Hyper-Realism and Surrealism. Consider using images from your subconscious to construct a self-portrait.

These two images are DUE: 11/2 on disk.
