This was done for a project where the instructor took a picture of you and would have you use it as a reference to create a self portrait in your own unique style. I took a picture of the picture and brought it into Photoshop and adjusted the threshold to isolate key areas. I then used that as a reference to draw a high contrast portrait, which was the piece I submitted. Later on, for fun, I took a picture of the high contrast portrait I drew, brought it into Illustrator, and used the pen tool to trace the shapes. After some use of the pathfinder tool, I was able to display a collage through the shapes on my self portrait.
