Here's the negative of our trial cut out. We cut out each letter twice, then glued them together and stood them up by pushing push pins into the back near the bottom to act as a kickstand.

Margie had some good ideas on the arrangement and placement of our word. She suggested moving the letters, maybe placing them in groups. Also there is a dumpster outside of art and design that she suggested we have our word going into.

We did a big critique in class today. It was nice to see everyone's work, but would have been more beneficial if we were able to look at each one individually. 

this video inspires me.

2. Reflection on the Understanding Comics Reading
The university of simple objects is the basis of this project. Our poster, going from least abstract to most abstract trains the eye to see the object even when it is something much different. Also it talks about emotions and how objects are symbols of other things, just like the index and some other parts of our project.


4. Reflection about how and why the color you picked was used
I used orange. I used it in a pumpkin. Also, I only used it in one picture because I didn’t want it to become too Halloween-y. Also, a majority of the things on my poster were scanned in and orange would not fit very well in them.


1. Reflection on the project: What did you learn?
I learned a lot about the process of coming up with ideas. I often have pretty ridiculous ideas and since we had to do 20 for each category, these interesting ideas came out and sometimes lead to much better representations of my object because it would spark a new idea. I also learned a lot about features in Photoshop and Illustrator and got a lot of practice working with both.
