Representational Autobiconography
Have some fun with icons & symbols this week. Explore a little storytelling.
Lets see how much story you can tell with very little- just simple images......Construct your autobiography out of symbols, images and icons. Try to keep the use of words to a minimum. Extra gold star if you don't use words at all.
Can you use simple, basic imagry to tell us five to ten things about you and your life? Let's see how clever you can be, and let's see how powerful some of the concepts of representation kick in to help tell a story...........
Use Photoshop, Flash, Keynote, or Powerpoint.
This will be the first entry in your design journal- how difficult was it to tell your story. What images did you use and why? Think about the process you went through to pick certain images-----was there a strategy or effort to make it easier for your audience to understand? What's the most complex thought you were able to transmit? Post a few samples in your journal.
