All About Me!
This is a little collage I made using Photoshop; I learned how to navigate the basics of Photoshop, such as the tint of the photo, color balances, saturation, re-touching, edge blurring or sharpening, among other things. I included pictures that I felt really represented who I am. Naturally, I had to include pictures with my favorite foods, Crave Cupcakes being first and foremost in that category, along with chocolate covered strawberries from none other than the infamous Godiva Chocolatier. Dylan's Candy Bar also made into into my collage, and since I worked at Berripop over the summer, I included a picture of one of their cups as well. My favorite shoes, although somewhat contradictory of one another, are heels (Christian Louboutins are the ones I photographed) and Vans. I also included a picture of two animals i adore: my beloved dog Libby and a statue of an elephant. The slogans on the little boxes containing oddly shaped necklaces represent some aspects of my life; 'addicted' to coffee and tea; just 'hangin with my gnomies;' and 'life is a journey.' I also have a sticker on my mirror that says "Pray. 'I'm Third,'" meaning that God comes first, others second, and yourself third. It's a saying I learned at Kanakuk Kamps quite a long time ago, and I try to live by it every day, along with the lamented bookmark I received from an old Kamp counselor reminding me to "be joyful always." Under my name you will see an lopsided bottle; that is my perfume, "Alien" by Thiery Mugler. This perfume is AMAZING, and all of my friends know that it is my 'scent,' if you will. I felt compelled to include a picture my 'fabbers' from lacrosse; we were the five sophomores to make varsity last year, and we became best friends because of it. Lastly, and probably my favorite picture on this entire collage, I have an old picture from my gymnastics days with some fellow teammates. I sadly had to quit gymnastics, both because I was growing far to tall and at a rapid rate and because I wanted to have a life outside of the gym. Even though I no longer compete, I still hold the years I did gymnastics close to my heart, and my teammates and I remain good friends.
