Project 1 Process

The three thumbnails that feel most effective to me are the broken mirror, the self-love umbrella, and the “BEaUtiful” poster. These three are my favorites because they center the self-perception message I am trying to convey in a more positive light, and they all do it in very unique ways. Something I noticed during my exploration is that my ideas began to focus less on societal aspects and more on the message I wanted to convey: self-love. A lot of my thumbnails started out criticizing the messaging the beauty industry has established, but eventually evolved into being more about YOU being beautiful and loving yourself first. Through all these variations, I learned that my message was trying to cut through the noise of negativity and embrace a positive self-perception, regardless of the standards set by the media.
