Design Assignment: Expression

Expression

For my last set of stars, I chose to do the assignment consisting of making something that expresses who I am. I used a picture that my sister took of me, adding words and symbols defining myself. I chose this picture because this is the most natural I could ever get, when I am happy, I am so happy I could burst, and when I am laughing, you could probably hear me from a mile away. This picture represents me, who I am, and who I would like to be all the time. If I am not happy, I am usually crying about something, sad to say. I used the quote, “Life’s too short to be anything but happy,” because there are no better words to live by. I am only 21 and can say that I have taken life way too seriously, but why? I have realized over the past couple years that this quote couldn’t be more right, so why live life mad or sad all the time? What’s the point? I added in there, “keep calm and have a cupcake,” because I tend to get really overwhelmed and stressed out when it comes to school, work, and real life. But I have also come to the conclusion that I take school way to seriously, and I shouldn’t. If I don’t get that A, I freak out, but why? I guess because there is such an emphasis on being the best in society, that I couldn’t settle for being anything less. My mom always tells me to just breathe, and even gave me a notebook that says, “Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake,” which I actually might start doing. The last few words are, “Don’t let life pass by,” almost like a carpe diem kind of quote, live for today and not for tomorrow, because it might be too late. I used stars to symbolize, reaching for my dreams, which I will always do until I make it there, and hearts to represent the power of love, and just how important it is in my life. I used Picnik.com as well, playing around with the effects and adding stickers and texts!
