PERSONAL METAPHOR





My metaphor is “The remote you use to change your mind”. I chose this because it describes me a lot. I was trying to express the fact that no matter what you might think about me or anything I will be able to change the way you think about it. I wanted to capture me being confused or not sure as to why I am that way.

I placed things were I did because I wasn’t complete sure where they belonged. Also because it didn’t make the photo have empty spaces. I don’t really have a strong focal view because the photo and words are balancing each other out on the page. So either you’re going to look at the picture first or metaphor. In some cases it does feel unified, at least the remote and carpet does. The words don’t really feel like they fit but they work.

I think the combining of the remote into my clothes are done pretty well. The most difficult part other than finding a place for the words was trying to make the picture actually look real. I could’ve made myself and the remote blend even better than it is now. I would change how the entire photo is setup and how it’s kind of noticeable that it’s not a real photo.
