The above Photoshop creation is based on the paintings and ideas of Guiseppe Arcimboldo where he would take ideas and objects and incorporate them into the portraits of people. The elements and principles of art are present within this creation through color and the shape of the objects put together which form what looks to be a person taking a picture of themselves. This picture was based on a picture of myself and the objects that are now making up the picture are just a few things that I feel I use and like a lot. I cannot go a day without my laptop and keyboard, I eat pasta with Alfredo and Pesto sauce almost everyday of the week, I have been using that same pencil for probably the past three years at the very least, and I consume likely way above the average amount of coffee. The background image was taken at a nearby park by my home in Cleveland where there is an overhang that overlooks a huge valley. I used it as the background since I used to go there all the time and while it is not an object the piece needed a background and it may as well be something that still characterized a part of me. The actual process of creating the image started with me gathering pictures of the objects used and then attempting to the best of my ability to piece them over a picture of myself. At a certain point it started looking ridiculous so I decided why not go for all out strange with it which caused myself to give me a coffee mug hat since I love coffee so much it is basically a drug to me and also game me some coffee ground bag eyes. Overall I am happy with the final product since it really contains the core things I love to use, or eat, the most!
