Final thoughts
I also liked the idea that we were able to look outside of the realm of graphic design in terms of designing on more meaningful topics. I thought that our sessios on art history were great as well.
Thanks for a great class and experience.
Our last project
This was a picture that I thought represented youth very well. The boy is swinging on a tire swing, free from cares and able to enjoy the moment.
The picture to the left of that is of a boy whose face reflects innocency yet even a bit of mischief. It was intended to be placed at the beginning of the book where a lot of white space on a page was intended. We begin very innocent, but even at a tender age, there is mischief present.
Again, my image here uploads incomplete. I don't understand why, but here are my thought behind it. One part of our lives is deterioration. In addition to us aging, the things that surround us get old and delapidated.
The collage of the candidates above also was intended for us to have a reflection of what was happening at the time that we compiled the book.
For some reason, this image did not upload completely. It is missing part of the image.
My thought in creating it was related to our discussion in class which referred to corruption. Corruption is very much a part of our society, and as Oscar Wilde implied in his poem, it becomes more evident as people get older. People lose their innocency as they get older.
