Map of Collaboration

Hello again!

Sorry for the late post, I can’t seem to catch up to myself!

The latest project we had to do was create a map inspired project. First we had to destroy a map and then create a project inspired by that.

To destroy my map, I went up to everyone I met during the day and asked them to draw on my map. It ended up looking a little bit like this:

It was really neat to see how people interacted with the map after I told them what to do. Some drew in corners, some drew over other drawings, some even made holes in my map.

After I had destroyed my map, I had to think of how to translate that into another piece. After a lot of thinking about how I was trying to portray collaboration, I ended up making a video.

It was way more fun than I thought, but I wish I had had more time to spend on it, as it didn’t turn out quite like I hoped.

I went last in the class so I really didn’t get any critique-but I do wish I had been able to use proper video footage and not pictures.

In the end, this project was really neat, and I would love to do something similar like this in the future!

As always, have an excellent day!

I’m just kidding-I didn’t cry.

Well hello there! This post is late as per the usual of my life currently. Lately everything’s been moving at much too fast a pace and I can’t seem to keep up.

Anyways, enough about me! Our latest project was to examine life and find the alphabet and numbers in it! (Also photo-document it. Observation didn’t really count.) I really wish I wouldn’t have had the life circumstances that I had, and would have been able to dedicate more time and energy to this project. I really like this concept and I am not really pleased with my pictures and my presentation.

That aside, I did the best I could with the circumstances I had, and I liked my ideas at the very least. Below are the 35 pictures as well as the presentation.

Now that I am positive you know your alphabet, here are some of the critique notes

  • liked the idea but could have been better if there was construction paper, or a drop shadow, or raised up more
  • close up is very effect, is pleasing, different and gives a good 3-D effect
  • all vertical, or change the orientation of some of them.
  • the grid is very messy-in terms of straightness and order
  • the lighting in some of the pictures is very yellow which draws the wrong kind of attention

For me, this was not my best work in any way shape or form, but I really hope that I made what I had work-which is always my goal.

As always, have a fantastic day!
