A couple days has passed since I last thought about the self-portrait. I want every little pixel to have a meaning for something in my life and it means a lot of (what I think) as cool stuff won’t make it into the picture. I think half the battle of any design track is building the courage necessary to discard your own ideas. There are so many things I want to put in there… yet I know some of them are going to go away. It's never an easy thing to do.
When presenting a lot of information for someone to look at, you run the risk of overwhelming them and turning them off. I thought through several ways to get around this and I came up with a wide city shot looking isometrically (MS Word doesn’t think that’s a word, hehe. It’s probably right.) down on it all. Like a helicopter doing a tour over a city. The roads were big decisions in my life that I had, thus carrying me further into town. The buildings were to be stages of my life, like an sports arena for my 10+ years of sports or an airport with C-130’s parked on the ramp. The perspective would be tight enough to show little people/caricatures doing their thing around the city. Like the Stay Puft Marshmellow would be climbing up a building to show that I like the Ghostbusters and my Dad driving his truck down a road. Cool concept, but waay too difficult to honestly hit on time
