Day 8

Posted by Lindsay , Friday, April 22, 2011 2:06 PM

Yesterdays class started out with everyone re-arranging the tables so that we had a large open space in the middle of the room. Everyone laid out their projects of coming up with three images that told a story. We were told to pick our favorite project as a class, so we all nominated projects and then voted. The winning pictures were one of a little girl gazing at a barbie doll section in a store, a woman with her face marked up for plastic surgery, and then a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery and looked bad. After we decided on it, we discussed it, and talked about what we thought it was all about. Once we picked it, Jimmy talked about the different good and bad projects. The bad ones weren't necessarily bad, we just could not figure out the story they told and needed to be changed. My favorite one out of those was a fish with drugs and a desert. I would have never guessed the actual story if I had not been told.


After we finished discussing the projects on the board, Jimmy laid out all of the images on two or three tables and we all were told to mix and match the images to make stories on the board. There were a few good ones, and it was a nice group project. After this, we all watched a TED talk but John Maeda. He talked about his laws of simplicity, and how both simplicity and complexity could be found in life. He seemed like a very intelligent man, and was entertaining while presenting. At the end of class, we were given our next project which is to come up with seven images to represent the seven deadly sins. I think that it will be a great project to do, and it will be interesting to see what everyone picked out.
