Assignment: create a website about us and visual communications

We used I web to create our website.  We did a page about ourselves, and then a page highlighting our mashups and finally a page with our comics on it.

I made my pictures, some text, and a headline all hyperlinks linking to my blog or bigger versions of my pictures. 

I also added a link on my blog and in this post to my website so people can easily navigate back and forth. 

 

Assignment 12

Brittany Jones

Assignment: final comic

Craft: I made another box in order to have a box of a magnified view of the phone in the water, so that people could understand that he dropped his phone in his water.  I also added text boxes like captions.

Composition: People were having trouble understanding what was in the package, and what the point of the story was.

Concept:  This helped alot of people understand that the ups guys laziness ended in the death of someone, without the ups guy knowing it... It is infering that people should not be lazy and careless because we are not aware of all the consequences of our actions.

Week 12 blog

Assignment: Comic Life

Craft: I put my finished pictures into comic life and adjusted the background color, and the shapes of my rectangles.  

Composition:  I then added speech bubbles with text, and thought bubbles with thoughts.  Lastly I added expression statements such as splash and crash. 

Concept: The speech bubbles help the reader to understand what is going on, but I learned from our critique that I need to also add captions to give a better understanding of my point that I am trying to get across, which is we never know how our actions effect others. 

Week 10

Assignment: Comic color

Craft- By using layers and multiply we were able to use color over our pictures without covering the background details. 

Composition- I used a bright blue for the suit of my main business man character, a brown for the uniform of my UPS guy, and an orange that represented the cell phone which later became the package being sent.  This highlighted the 3 aspects we needed for our story/ the person bringing the package, the recipient, and the package

Concept- My concept is that the UPS guy is taking his time and goofing around not really worried about getting the packages out in a rush, while this laxidaisical quality of his results in a man crashing and not having a phone to call an ambulance and his inevitable death.  The irony is that the UPS guy does not know that he indirectly could have saved a man's life, and will never know the consequences of his actions.  It makes people think about how every thing they do can effect others in dramatic ways.
