I choose the metaphor because I wanted to be turned myself into a puppet and because I felt like I didn’t have control over the actions I did in my life. I was trying to express how I felt everyday because of a certain person that entered my life at a later age. The mood I wanted to capture was parts of anger and parts of sadness. I didn’t always feel this way but when this person entered my life these things started to happen that I didn’t like.
I placed the things I did because of I felt like they belonged there, and also because I didn’t have much time so I just put the items in the way they looked the best. I do have a strong focal area and it’s me because I think the only way I can express myself if I was the strongest and clearest focal point. In my honest opinion I think my composition is not very strong but not very weak, it’s equally strong and weak. It could have been better but that’s how I felt things should have been. My image doesn’t feel unified because the background just doesn’t go with each other, I spent so much time on me and you can’t even make out the details because it is too small.
I think I did my skin texture well because it looks like real wood skin and I look like a puppet. The burn tool really helped make this puppet metaphor stand out because it looks like I have different parts of wood on me. The difficult part of this project was knowing what goes where and what types of wood I should have used. I think I used a great wood texture but the only problem I had was that it wasn’t mine. I used it from the website tutorial picture they gave me. I could have spent more time on the background and all the little things that would have made the picture stand out more. I would have changed the fact that I should have used my own picture of wood and my own picture of a stage. I knew I should have spent less time on me but the way I was turning out, I didn’t like it.

I like the way that you set up yuor picture and how the spot light is on you. Another thing that is good about it is the was that you made your that had a shadow. Also, my favrite part of your picture is how u actuelly made your self look like a puppet.
Good Job.
i really like the whole idea of your metaphor. you did a really good job on making yourself look like a puppet and it kind of looks cartoon as well. and the shadow you made is perfectly in place. this was a really great project.
