Thumbprint Identity

This is my 'Thumbprint Identity' art which is all about my personal identity with everything having a purpose or meaning. First we have the shape of the words.This is my actual thumbprint which shows personal identity because no one has the exact same thumbprint as me and it only tailors to me. Next with the words. All these words are about me in some way but what I did is mix words that weren't so deep with words that were. This represents me because I am very self concious always thinking about what what people think of me. Lastly the background. As soon as I needed to make a background, instead of thinking about it to much, I grabbed the things i needed and started painting. I went with the warm colours because the they good together with you still being able to see the words. They shape of the background was an artistic choice. Instead of all plain shapes (square, triangle, etc) by adding another triangle to a triangle makes it not so plain then the outline for the red shape was already there.

I am pretty pleased on how it turned out but there were still some struggles while doing it. 
I struggled with putting the words in the thumb print because I had to edit my thumbprint taking out lines so could actually fit words in and kept messing up on the words. and the second thing thing i struggled with was thinking of the words. Besides those two things i think it turned out better than i thought it would.

Typographic Identity

This is my Typographic Identity art. It is made out of words, colours, shape, and font that tailors to me.
Every single thing has a meaning. The peace sign means I'm a very peaceful person who is layed back and never uses violence. The colours feel calming and kind of happy which is the kind of person I am. The font is big, bold and out there. I chose it because I am a very vocal person who is out there and who likes to speak their mind
Lastly, For the thing standing out the most, the words. The words are what i'm into and who I am. Some of the words being political, independent determined, etc. 




For this piece I tried focusing on the positives of myself or making negatives sound like positives. It was pretty difficult but with a little help from people I know I came up with 20 words to put it the piece to create this. If you would like to make your very own it's fairly simple.
