For the project of creating a passport I used the technique of origami to create a booklet first. I did this because of my Japanese background and this would help show my identity better. Additionally I drew a passport with both the Japanese and British logos and myself and my parents. I put the British logo on the front and the Japanese logo on the back of the passport, which is the front from the Japanese view. In Japanese you read right to left and back to front the opposite of English.

However, the passport I made originally did not feel like it represented me completely. But when I did the additional soft pastel drawings of places which have significance to me, they connected to me much better. I drew my house where I live with my parents, my grandma’s house, my new home at the university and the seaside where I went on holiday. Drawing these places was very enjoyable and better illustrated me as a person. Also using colour helped this further because it gave the essence of place better. To extend this further I would draw more places which have significance to me. Additionally, it may be more effective to incorporate objects which have sentimental value. Working larger scale and using different mediums may be better to move the piece forward.
