For my Future You project I decided I was going to take a bit of a different route. When people first look at my project their first thought is probably not, 'Hey this is definitely this girls future.' Instead its probably more like, "this is her past.' I had to kind of let loose for this project and let my mind explore. It was hard for me to just choose one picture to reflect in the window. I had chosen a window at our local hospital to have my reflection in. I just used the app SketchBookX to transform my picture. Anyways, by this point you're probably thinks, 'Get on with it lady!' and that I am sorry for. My reflection is actually of what I'm hoping to be my child. I really love kids and some day, when it is appropriate, I would like to have my own. I'm not sure what they will look like so my best bet was a picture from when I was little. The photo being reflected is from when I was 7; that's half the age I am no, so I was hoping for noticeable different without it being too drastic. I knew different poses of picture i had from when I was a child, so I tried to imitate that pose. I didn't want it to be exact because I didn't want the reflection to look exactly like me. I have my process and final copy's shown below. ENJOY!
I love how you how the position of the child in the mirror. I also like how you didn't just use a mirror to take your picture with, you used a window instead.
I love how you reflected yourself back to your childhood. It like a reflection from the past to the future

I love that you put so much thought into it and really let yourself explore that is impressive. The overall piece is fantastic but I was really impressed by the thought you put into your pose and how it would play off the photo you were using of you as a child. Well done!
