I feel like the simplistic choice to mount it on white foam board with a very small boarder worked well because it left the focus on the image which I wanted but it also looked professional. I also had my title mounted on a small piece of white foam board which I placed just under my portrait on the wall. This way the title was read by the audience but it wasn't part of the image and therefore didn't detract too much attention away. I feel however that this presentation could have been made more powerful by being printed a lot larger. This would mean you could see all the detail on the layered image too and it would have made a bigger statement about my personality. If I had more time and more money I think I would have done this.
I feel like my 10 minuet presentation went well because I talked through my process from start to finish so how I began planning my shoots and how I edited the images in Photoshop. I went very in depth about the editing process as I feel like this was the biggest factor in my piece however I feel like I should have spoken about my thought process a bit more as this may have not come across too clearly. Also I did a lot of research before starting any physical work and I don't feel like I referenced my research enough for this to be clear. If I were to do this again I would write myself note cards of everything I needed to say so that I didn't miss out on any of these vital points.
Finally I feel like the actual piece itself is strong because it has a meaning and a process behind it however I would have loved to have developed this further through editing and refining my images. Because I was working on a limited time frame my editing process became a bit rushed and very similar for each image and I feel like with more time I would have taken more risks when editing and explored even further with what I could do. Overall I am happy with what I managed to produce this time for my first project.
