What's in your head?

I would suggest sketching out ideas on a sheet of paper prior to design in Illustrator—Get your creative juices going and get your ideas on paper.

Create a new document Standard sheet of paper (you can choose landscape or portrait).
Name the document:  LastnamefirstinitialWhatsinyourhead

To create these vector self-portrait posters, take a photograph of yourself—a profile picture.

Place it into Adobe Illustrator, then traced your silhouette with the pen tool. Select graphics illustrating your personality and interests were created through a combination of basic shape tools, the pen tool, and dingbat fonts--- Make sure all are VECTOR Images, tracing our outlining the images. 

Place Your Name somewhere inside with a font that is also reflective of you! 

The above are merely examples…do not mimic  Think outside the box…. Do not limit yourself…EVER
