My self motion picture showed happiness and it showed how a smile can also be fake.  My project also showed luxury in it thats why there are watches and jewelry all around the picture.    The horns on top showed how evil it can be to only care about materialistic things in life.  It shows how it can be a facade and that on the surface it shows happiness because you are happy  you have all these things but deep down might be upset.  It also just means happiness because people can be fully content with those type of stuff which is fine.  Another symbol the devil ears show is the fact that some people might have to do evil things to get these expensive things (you never know).

The mood for my composition is surprised. When creating this collage I thought of changing the contrast and brightness of my image to a very dark color with little to no contrast. I made sure to add a very wide open mouth because usually when your surprised your eyes and mouth become wider. I’d say the focal point for my composition are the eyes and mouth because they have more brightness which pops out more than the background. The reason why I added a shade lighter to my chest is to balance out the bright eyes I added. I wanted it to represent a shadow of light as if I was hiding behind a closet door and to my surprise I found out something like a friend was talking behind my back, just an example. when being surprised you are known to be in shock depending on the news so I wanted to emphasize that in my composition. I did have trouble in actually trying to work with my image just because I started off with an image of myself having a smirk which can mean many different types of things and I didn’t want to go the easy way out and choose happiness although it would of worked best. I think I needed more work in demonstrating movement in my image because theres not much that there, I couldn’t really figure out what to do with that but next time I think I could play around with my facial expressions and create some body movement. Overall I’d say I did a good job in showing my mood.
