Make Something Cool!

#SelfieSemester

I took one picture of myself at the beginning of the semester and I'm going to use the same image to make something cool with it. AKA, plastering my face everywhere I can. 

Here is the basic black picture of my lovely face, basis for everything for the rest of the semester.

Playing with color:

Printing it on old Creative Loafing pages. 

After I had made these, my laptop got stolen, so I decided it would be fun to use the pictures that I took of the CL pages to see if I could isolate just my face. I hadn't backed up the Ai file that had my face image traced, so I thought this was the next best thing, since I decided that I would only use this one picture for the entire semester already. But, the isolation didn't go as well as I hoped. The text created a neat texture, so I kept it. 

Isolation of my face from the CL pages, leaving text in as texture.

The images from here on have been altered slightly from the first image ever; I used the text-face pictures so create my new face.

To further emphasize my "self-portrait" theme, I decided to use textures that I already had on my computer that I created my self for previous projects or just for fun. Here are examples below.

Using textures that I already had on my computer. Some of you may recognize these from previous projects.

Then! For the finale! I made a screen of my face!!! (It took three times to expose it correctly. I think I might have a picture of my process somewhere, will try to find it and upload)

Yay! A blurry picture of the exposed screen! Now I can put my face on literally everything!

Here's a terrible picture of my first pull. It worked really well, and I can't wait to do more. Anyone want a Rebecca Face t-shirt?!
