cropped-AVATAR_CA-1

Born and raised in France, I have been taught the values of the French Republic but I also learnt from the country’s roots where in the past, the monarchy was in place. This crown represents power but also justice where from his throne, the king overlooks his country and maintains all functions in order.

Through this avatar, I wanted to portray myself as a fair person who has opinions that I am willing to share with everyone. I am a very caring person, trying to understand everyone in the best way possible just like a king does for his country. The colors chosen for this symbol all represent different characteristics. The yellow with the Sun conveys one of the major Kings who ruled France: “Le Roi-Soleil” also named Louis XIV.  The blue gems mirror the color of the lily which is an emblem of the french royalty. Furthermore, the color red represents the people. Overall, both of these colors, blue and red, embody Paris.

The major difficulty I encountered in creating this image was the process of using Photoshop which I had never used before.
