Geometric Portraits

Facial expressions are universal. There are 6 known facial expressions, disgust, sadness, happiness, fear, anger, and surprise. Facial expressions are led to emotions. These 6 expressions are usually easy to identify from people because they are likely used in everyday life. There are many articles confirm that there are 6 basic facial expressions. They may look different based on ethnicity but they express and idea of their emotions.

I created this project by first taking a photo that is as symmetrical as possible. When I took the photo and uploaded it to photo shop I then placed a grid and centred it evenly. Then I outlined half of my face and started to fill in my hair with triangles. After I did that I filled my face in with triangles. Then I outlined the triangles with the polygonal marquee tool used it to make the triangles one color.

The easy way and custom way are very different but they have some things alike. For example they both are made of triangles. With the easy way the colors are replaced with triangles and same with the custom way. But whats different is that the custom way shows more defiance between facials and the background. They are also different because the custom way we do the triangles one by one and in our poly 2 we put filters and changed up our colors more. In the easy way the computer does it itself and there are no filters and the image turns out sloppy and not well done.
