Self Visualization Project



For my project I wanted to get across my love for music, and how I feel different emotions and listen to different music for different moods. I put the images of an angry version of myself, because it's very rare that I am mad. You really have to work hard to get me mad, but I ended up liking that piece out of all three of my pieces the most. I'm happy with this project, but I still felt like I could do more, it was just the fact that I couldn't figure out exactly that piece of the puzzle to this project that was missing. I did enjoy making this project, even though i have to admit I'm not a big fan of incorporating myself, especially pictures of myself in my project, but I really liked experimenting and letting a little of all aspects of my emotions show through. :)

Poem/Book Visualization Project Ideas

Katie Reed - I Want That Love

How can I explain how I feel without revealing 
too much about how I feel?
After all a feeling is meant to be expressed.
In an ideal world of my own utopia I would be in love 
and live to write and have the right to the above. 
On occasions I feel suppressed by myself and what I think
and what I want are two different things.
I think I should wait until my life truly begins
but I want to find the kind of love I know I deserve
the overwhelming, inconsiderate, selfish
world consuming power of love.
That little feeling that throws itself on your heart
until you give in, I want that feeling. 
I want someone who likes me for who I am,
loves me and lives for me, yet still voices their opinions,
views and challenges almost everything I say
I want someone I can sit down and watch the stars with,
someone who can't read my mind but knows when to hold my hand.
I want that love, the love that overrides your heart
and takes every piece of that feelings you have
and makes it worth while.
I want someone who will kiss me gently and mean what they say.
I want that love

My idea for my book/poem visualization project is to create a bouquet of roses, since they are a symbol of love, and to put lines from the poem on random petals throughtout the bouquet. Right now that is the only idea I have, and I'm really excited to execute the idea, but if I think of anything else I'll be sure to post about it!
