Portrait Student: Shreya
For my time project, I focused on progressing my ideas in a digital format, transferring ideas from a still state to an animated one. My portrait partner Shreya was keen on maintaining a pink hue throughout her social media aesthetic, her interconnectedness to her friends and family was also very admirable and I wanted to portray this in a way she could relate to.
My first template was a still image illustration of Shreya combined with small photographs off of her instagram feed of her friends that she has tagged in the images. (See image 1) The next process was to enhance and improve the illustration, as well as the photos attached to them. (See image 2.) Finally, I really wanted to portray the appearance of the artwork in relation to time, so with my best attempts, I tried to animate the interconnectedness that I found was essential in Shreya’s life, to be found as a process over time, the stems of her personality connecting to so many people and affecting a web of people’s lives.
