My process started with me sketching a picture on facebook, but I didn’t really like the look of so I tried to capture the essence of my face in cartoon looking way. Then I put it on illustrator using a number of tools in including the circle tool, pen tool and the pencil tool. Once I made it look like my sketch I used the type on a path tool to put in the words.
Some design choices I used was making my t outline of my hair bolder than the rest because I seem to have thick hair. The type faces I used were Myriad Pro and Arial. The focal point is the hair because it seems the most interesting and the most crowed thing on the page and your eye seems to direct you there; I tried to make the focal point my eyes by making it bold and italic, but your eyes seem to lead back to the hair still. For placement I put in the top right corner so it would have good composition (L-Curve) and to show that I’m kind of tall. Some things I wrote to express myself were like annoying things I would say to my friends at the time, kind of like a catch phase, but for the top of my head I put stuff that I kind of think of like my favorite bands, music producers, artist, skateboarders, and best friends.
How do I think I did I think I did well because I seem to relate a lot of mental thoughts to my physical face.
