Let's make our self-portraits

There are many different ways to make a self-portrait. It has not to be a traditional drawing or painting of your face. 

Idea from: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/elem/selfport.htm#Names
Making a self-portrait is a great way to express and explore your identity.
The idea is to do the silhouettes of your head and fill in your head with a magazine collage of what is going in your brain, what you prefer, what you are fond of...
Ideas to get you started: clothes, music, words, sports, food, people you admire, singers, actors...
Trace your head on two white papers (using the window). Then filled in the head shape with magazine images in one of the papers. The second one will be the template of the final frame of your self-portrait, so, you will have to cut out the inside part. Let's do it.

Another way of making a portrait is using typography instead of traditional elements. Do you remember 45 amazing Type Faces- Typographic Portraits?. Really amazing! Le's make something similar with your pictures just writing your name (or your sign).
