2D Design, verse 7 -- Midterm

Two-Dimensional Design Midterm

I chose this particular picture partially because most new pictures of me are profile shot while I’m driving taken by my girlfriend and partially because I like the profile look… when it comes to my pictures that is, lol. In all seriousness though, this picture epitomizes my character, particularly in the summer. Hair pulled back, shades on, just driving. I tend to always be on the move, or at least doing something. I can’t ever just be stationary with nothing to do. Even if I’m just sitting hanging out I have to be doing, going, even if it’s only in my mind. Which sounds kind of creepy, really. But I digress.

There really isn’t much about this picture that I don’t like or that doesn’t really scream “hey look, this is Kristofer!!!” The seatbelt cover in the upper part of the image is kind of off and looks odd the way it blends into my hair, but whether I like it or not, it’s another example of continuation which we learn about earlier this semester. And there are various unruly strands of hair, but I can’t complain too much about those for a couple of reasons: one, while I take a bit of pride in my appearance, I’m from the hair-metal era and in a band myself (although it is temporarily defunct), so the slightly disheveled look isn’t far off; and two, it being summer is the image, the window is down and I can feel the air running its fingers through my hair and across my face which I think is one of the best feelings that can be discussed in a public forum.

So there you have my little dissertation on me and my headshot. Enjoy!
