Visual Biography (11/9 & 11/16)

This was fun and brought out my inventive side. :) This class we were to bring in a visual biography of ourselves. Instead of using paper I mixed it up with another sense: smell. I took clear bottles and matched a picture of myself with different smells. Smells that reminded me of a certain time in my life. I took the notion that our strongest target for memory is scents and used it to tell my story. I think my classmates enjoyed it. Some of the scents included were rosemary (big bear), perfume (grandmother), and popcorn (movies).

On Wednesday we brought in our 30 different sketches to promote Graphic Design at Cal State LA. I didn't exactly finish all thirty, but seeing some of my classmates' drawings really inspired me and helped me learn just how detailed and thoughtful a draft should be. How to communicate your intention without you there explaining it.
