Typographic Self-portrait

Description: This illustration was created for my graphic design course in college. The assignment was to make a drawing/ illustration that included a self portrait and the things we had learnt about typography throughout the year. We had to have a minimum of 15 sentences about ourselves to fill out the illustration, however there had to be a main statement that would represent the theme of the illustration. My sentence was “I use bright colors”. We had free choice of design and could do whatever felt like us.
