For our final reflection in this class, I’m choosing to go back and write about my favorite project: The Blind Contour on Screen. It’s my favorite not because it has pretty colors, but I found it easy and instinctual in arrangement and color. Originally, this assignment was to just practice …
For our final project, I have chosen to do the video option. in this form, we are supposed to show a change or transition from one thing to another. These are very Nell-like instructions. very loose and up to ones interpretation. It allows for maximum creative potential. Funnily enough, I …
This assignment was drastically different from the previous. Whole page type assignment has many more moving parts than the last. We were to choose a design word and definition word. My Definition word was thunderstruck and my design word ended up being shook. I say ended up because it was really …
