Senior Statement
As I began thinking about presenting an exhibition in computer graphics, I wanted something interesting and unique.  After experimenting with the programs, visualizing and sketching some pictures, I discovered what to present.  Using Adobe Photoshop 5.0, I took a brushstroke image of myself from a photograph.  With this image, I scanned in and created a self-portrait with all the memorable events in my life, friends and family.  These images are included to bring through my life's experiences.  Most of my recent life is represented.  Through this self-portrait I present images of color, grayscale and two different cuts for visual effects.  Also the inkjet printer on the gloss paper gives a textured feel to the images.  While looking at the images presented here, discover how the smaller images work together to bring the self-portrait work as one image.
