Final Initial Thoughts


My initial idea for this narrative reminded of a couple of stories that I had heard or seen when I was younger. I wanted to put a twist on these stories that I had heard about these people jumping through time and space to fulfill some ambiguous cause. Traditional stories have the protagonist always win and I didn't like that. So I decided to have a man falling though space and time when he didn't want to and having everything not go his way. This is why in my first picture i had random dates. The tree is a place holder to add spice and show the direction that I wan the photos to go.

I liked this article. Its interesting because I was raised by legally blind woman. there is a level of understanding that you can't have if you haven't experienced what they have or put yourself in their shoes. They have a whole different view on the world. This leads into the drawing of the Cathedral which is like culmination and apex of the mans understanding. He entered the mans article and truly felt what it was like be where someone else way at. What more can you ask for in this world. Everyone walks around thinking no one else has a sophisticated thought except themselves. I think this is why some people never curse the day they're struck down from their high horse and shown the worlds true colors.

I wasn't a big fan of how this article was written. It is interesting to see the perception that people get when they view an art piece though. There is always a sense interpretation thats there. Depending on where you are viewing the piece you won't have the artist over your shoulder explaining it to you. there is a certain aspect to becoming the art that is interesting though. The art you look at and what you collect tells a story in itself. The weird thing is that if you look at it this way anything can become and art piece.

When I thought about a narrative I was reminded of a story I watched when I was a kid about a girl who lept through time. So I wanted to play with that idea and came up with the idea of the man that fell through space and time. He does't know where he's going or why and where ever he goes he messes something up.  The picture design is pretty self explanatory and the face in the background represents his rule of the modern world and all of space through his unintended reworking of the space time line.

I used a picture of space for the initial background of the picture. I felt like this would show how he is everywhere at once. Even though I found the picture as it i felt like the colors would really do the comp justice. I was going to have to words and dates in random places but having them above and below him made it feel like he was stuck within certain constraints. The picture of the face in the background represents the influence he has on the world since he is appearing in all of these places at the same time. 

I only used one picture in my comp to show that he really has nowhere to go. He is hopelessly lost in the void of space. Of course he will always appear somewhere else on the time line but what good will that do for him. He's not where he wants to be. The stripped lines on his body represent him being torn apart or split into all these places at once. He will never be completely focused and in one spot ever again.

I used shoes in my composition because they are necessary for me to get around. I dont have strong enough feet to walk around barefoot.


I chose to include my laptop since I use it daily. It's my main source for keeping up with the world.


I included this to show a former passion that i forgoed in favor of having a social life.


I find huge value in how much sleep i get. I'd also like to think that the colors on my pillow reflect how whacky my dreams are.


I included this fridge to show where I get the source of my energy. I don't use it a lot but its always there when i need it.

Not many people eat breakfast but I have trouble making it though the day when I don't eat. Good thing they're tasty!


This simply represents how hydrated I stay and how shitty I feel when im not hydrated. I probably have 1:3 ratio in terms of what I eat and drink every meal.


This is a custom messenger bag representing my swag and versatility.


This is a hoodie i stole from my roommate and never gave back. It just goes to show the power that I have to make things mine.

MP 5

I chose to take a picture of my headphones. My two words were "to twist" and "to impress". It was a tough arduous process trying to decide what thing I used but never noticed fit both of those words. There are a lot of things that I use throughout the day that I special attention to but I feel like I never appreciated my headphones. I always have a pair in my pocket twisted and knotted up and i'm always impressed by the fact that I can go though my life with a soundtracks. Cheers to technology!

I chose to do this mask as my super power because of it's unique smile which scares the sh*t out of people. It frequently scares people on campus as well as my roommates. I don't think every person or every mask has the ability to do this. The pose isn't a happy one contrasting the faces happy mood. I think its a much needed super power.
