Today we brought in our images representing one of the 7 deadly sins. I'm dyslexic and accidentally brought in 7 images instead of 10. For some reason I thought there were 10 deadly sins and we had to get 7 images to represent one. Whoops!
The sin I decided to represent in the images was the sin of sloth. When the class looked at my images they had a tough time figuring out what sin was represented. This made me realize that I really need to work on representing something more clearly so that the audience and client can easily read the image. I found that I read into my images, but the viewers did not. I was also confused and did not quite know whether the images should be direct or indirect, since in previous assignments the images and words attached to an image were somewhat indirect and changed the meaning of the image. Even though I made a mistake on this assignment, I definitely learned from it!
Later in the class we watched a short film by Charles and Ray Eames called Powers of Ten. This film depicts the relative scale of the Universe in mathematical factors (powers) of ten. It was a lot of information to take in at once and I was a bit overwhelmed. I feel that the only way to properly, fully describe it is just to watch it, so here is a link to the short film: Powers of Ten
Our homework assignment is to create a one page creative brief for the film that we watched. This means that we each have to describe the purpose of the creation of this film by describe the who, what, when, where, why, and how's of it.
