PROJECT 1 
For our first project, we were required to create a self portrait by using the design principles that we learned with any media. My idea for this project is to create a self portrait in a frame. First, I draw myself digitally by using Adobe Illustrator. After that, I print out the drawing and move on to trace the outline on a transparent pvc cover. At first, I was trying to trace the outline for the whole self portrait  but it looks messy. So, I ended up tracing some part of the outline. For the frame, I found some unwanted box and cut it to the size of A4 to fit my self portrait. To wrap the frame, I used the aluminium foil as I want some textures on it. I faced a lot of problems when doing the frame as the measurement need to be really accurate and it took me a lot of times. Another problem I faced was that I accidentally mess up my drawing when I was trying to combine it with the frame. So, I have to reprint it and do the tracing again. The outcome wasn't that good as this is my first time making the frame, but I would like to take this lesson to improve myself for my others assignment.
