ideas

1.I have the idea of if in the future people are all cyborg, they could buy and sell their body parts and there should be some shops like that. So I have the idea of myself selling my body parts after I had bought better nice looking faces or bodies. I also applied the third view rule that the face of myself is at the intersection of the lines. 
2. Another idea is that I am able to remember new things and also control things whenever I want. My eyes are the connector to everything so I will be very smart but don't need to study.
3. If I am cyborg, I will not need to sleep anymore without feeling tired, so that I could save my time and I am a fast charging cyborg which I only need half an hour of charging once a day.

First attempt

Second idea

After I am done with my first attempt, I am not satisfy with the outcome because I found my first idea doesn't gives out any narrative feeling, so I retake photos and did another version. 

fig 2.12 photo taking 19/11/2020

For this version, I want to show that I am a cyborg which is being abandon and almost broke. I want to show the sadness of cyborg trying to be human but actually they have big different, no matter how hard they try, they are still not human.

FINAL OUTCOME

After the suggestion of Mr. Martin, I had tone down the surrounding to make the cyborg have more abandoned feeling.

fig 2.17 final outcome 19/11/2020

This is the final outcome for this cyborg project.

FEEDBACK 

Mr. Martin looked at my final outcome for both version, he said that both version could work and it is nice. However, I can tone down the image to get the more feeling of abandoned.

REFLECTION

Experience: For this project, I started it a little bit earlier before we were told to do so because I was worried about the submission of this project if it is the same as the project 2b, so I rushed myself to come out with a outcome of draft 1 in fig 2.11 but it turns out not that good as I learned it myself online. 

Observation: I realized that we need to label each layers in photoshop to make you easier to find which layer is it on. I also realize that sometimes your idea will come out in the middle of your progress and it is totally different from what you are planning but I think it is OK as long as you come out with something good.

Finding: I found this project really cool as we can do something that we didn't do before. I also found that we need to be patient on something and try a few times to have a better outcome.
