(1) The next process in developing my final piece was to look at the left side of my work. Because I'd done and completed one side, I needed to mirror the emotion, colour, and detail that I'd portrayed in my social media presence. I found this side more difficult to work with as it was about being honest in terms of the colours, shape and icons that I'd selected out. Because it was a personal approach to the project it was also hard to find the motivation to create the side that was more honest and to show that side of myself.
(2) I chose to have black and white sort of envading the face of the left hand side as I believe not everything is directly one sided, it's more a mix of both sides. I also liked the way the black and white was more of a focus on the blue/grey palette I'd selected, and I wanted icons that portrayed that side of me. I did my research online into 'depression' and icons associated with this, coming up with sketches that I then placed into my work. It was nice to have a more honest side to myself and show the true side effects of depression in a more lightened view.
