For my culminating project in Photoshop, I want to focus on the theme of overcoming challenges.
This topic is very dear to me because in remaining diligent through difficult times, I have grown the most and learned a lot about myself. Breaking through limits, at least wanting to, is very relatable to many people. I want to express what breaking through feels like as the inspiration for my final project.
I’ll want to avoid common imagery like mountaintops and staircases. Though good visual shorthand, that isn’t what breaking through feels like to me. Its more like trusting that you are strong enough to withstand the storm while exerting your strength against what holds you back. I want to use those feelings and ideas to push the direction my works go in. Something that shows both fortitude and drive sounds pretty good.
