All About Me

{My first Photoj assignment: All About Me collage}

Last week my class was assigned a project; an All About Me collage consisting of photos we took of objects, people, etc. that represent us and represent what is important in our lives.  I made this little collage through Photoshop.  Being completely new to the world of photoshop my photoj teacher was a great resource as she taught our class the basics and how to work the software, such as customizing the tint, saturation, re-touching, and color balances of our pictures.  After adjusting all that and fixing the size of my photos I was ready to make my first collage!  First off, probably the biggest thing that influences me is my family and friends, which is why I had to include all the photos of the people in my life.  I have always believed that one should surround themselves with positive people who believe in them, love them, and inspire them.  The #1 supporters I have in my life are my mom, my dad, and sister(to the right of the b&w picture of me and bottom right corner).  My mom is always there for me and somehow always knows exactly what to do.  She inspires me to be my best and I hope to only be a fraction of how amazing of a person she is.  My sister, Chloe, is the crazy component in our family, which always keeps me smiling and although it may get annoying, she's one of my favorite people in the world. My dad is the one who has inspired me to be who I am.  He has made me the hardheaded person I am today.  Somewhere in-between all those forced basketball clinics I started to love the sport(picture of basketball on the left).   My dad took me to numerous UT games beginning at age 3 giving me burnt orange blood instantly, and most importantly he inspired my faith. This brings me to the picture of the cross I keep in my room at all times(next to picture of my mom and I).  My faith makes me, me and always reminds me of the right choices to make.  My dog, Kyla(top, center) follows me everywhere and I absolutely love her.  Somewhere in this collage I just had to include food, so I took photos of the Sprinkles logo and some s'mores I made for a close friends birthday because, well, food is great.  So that's it!  This is the final product of my collage and hopefully it captures who I am.
