Design Brief/ Design Specification

I have so many ideas how I could express it through my portrait, such as the person looking at us will be the person I’m right now (mostly, I am happy and outgoing) and the mirror-reflection could be the other hidden personality of me, which is very insecure and shy. Moreover, it might as well as resemble the old me and the new me, but I will include more about it in Criterion B.

Design Specification:

• Technology (the photo should have altered using technology)
• Photo of self, no one else’s
• Express self/two personalities (mirror-reflection dark, mysterious + original me bright, happy colors and tones)
• Mirrored reflection, because I want to include my two different personalities
• Should be recognizable
• Inspire me
• Interesting to look at

Design Brief:

In order to know whether I'm following my design specification or not and whether the design I'm planning to do is correct, I have to test my design in a way so that it can show me where I am wrong, where I have to improve etc.

My plan of how to test is by putting my portrait somewhere in the school, asking people to write down their opinion on an extra sheet of paper next to the artwork, about what they can tell about the artist of that particular artwork and what makes them think the way they are thinking (eventually, afterwards, I would ask them who they think is the artist). I won't tell them my name, so that when they are done with commenting, I will compare it with my own comments and the result can tell us whether my artwork is expressing myself enough to let people to know who I really am. I as well as could give them a small survey that includes questions like “Was the artwork done neatly and clean so that you could get the whole idea of the portrait” or “What parts made you think more and why?”
