Review of comments.

checking out all the creative ideas of my fellow 112 students, i found some really amazing and unique pages. the comments i left were generally on those that particularly interested me or had some relevance to my two main themes, light and touch. the blogs i kept going back to were Tawa, Renee, Leah, and Matt. those that commented on my blogs generally gave constructive criticism and were encouranging :)

The first project i made for design 111. I wanted it to 'come alive' with interesting shadows and contrast. Dependant on a changing light source, to show the extent of its composition. this shows the process of the construction of that model.

Touch.

TOUCH.
We do it every day.
One of the most common and primitave forms of networking.
From the high five to a simple handshake.
Human contact levels us.



Light

Posted by Libya Cowan 112 on 2:12 PM


We use light every day as a means to see our surroundings, it is intangible, but we can control it to some extent.
This photo was about the exploration of the qualities of light and how it could be used to create something that appeared to be a physical 'thread' that could be controlled to convey a written message.
The wire mesh tunnel reflected excess light created by streetlights and appears as a grid of light upon which the script is layered. The perspective of the composition is highlighted by the lines of the tunnel that receed into a vanishing point. The ghost of a figure is seen at 3 stages in the photograph, transparant and out of focus.
The overall image is reminiscent of a grafitti artist leaving their mark on the city, though unlike the permanent nature of spraypaint it is only able to be viewed through the technology of a camera.
