The requirements for this spread was to have a photo and a body of text that we wrote about ourselves. We could be creative on what we wrote, act like it's a graphic designer spotlight article or a short bio. 
The idea of using a photo of myself was kind of funny, because I don't view myself as a portrait photographer. The whole time I was thinking it would be silly for me to have a photo when I really wanted to showcase my design style. I am a strong believer that everything I do should be somehow in my own style. So, I created an illustrated portrait of myself, because I view myself as an illustrator. 
For the writing piece, I decided to write a poem. I am obsessed with poetry and I love writing my own poems. To me, this was a no brainer to do.
What better way to stand out than to do the unexpected.
