This is a sketch of my ideas in which the red drawings and the blue drawings are two different layers.  The red layer represents the reality of the situation, while the blue layer represents the expectations. I plan on making four out of the ten ideas.

Yellow Photos

These yellow photos are all the images I took when when if came to my idea. I look multiple images of the same situation, and tried taking them by testing out different lightings and angles.

Green Photos

In the green photos, I narrowed it down to images that I thought the lighting was clear, and the angle was interesting yet could get the message across. In narrowing the pictures, I made sure that the expectations layer (blue drawing) overlapped with the red drawing.

Red Photos

The red photos are the final images that I will use for the concept.

“Expectations Vs. Reality” demonstrates the ideal image that we want to be as shown by the clear page compared to imperfections of who we are as shown by the opaque page. For instance, when it comes to studying, our expectations are to be focused and productive as shown by the clear page of the person doing math, while the reality is being distracted as shown by the opaque page of the person playing a game on their phone. The clear page covering the opaque page symbolizes how we try to present ourselves as the ideal image, while we struggle to meet them underneath.
