Blog Entry 5- Project 1: Research
Levi Van Veluw
Levi uses the actual look of people but uses shapes and texture. It says on the website that "the awkward silence and dark colour suggest uncomfortable underlying tensions and emotions. The endless repetition of wooden blocks stands for van Veluw’s attempts to gain control of his own position within the familial structure." This relates to me because family is one of the most important things in my life. He also has a series on landscapes and this is where he did a self portrait and added elements of nature. I believe that this is to show how man and nature work together. The outdoors are also very important in my life. Many of my memories are with my family fishing and being outdoors.
Jerry Uelsmann
Jerry incorporated a lot of physical features as well as elements of nature into his pieces. He also used black and white which blends all the images together and doesn't make one thing stand out. It is hard to tell what he means by each of he pieces and this keeps the viewer looking and asking questions. I want people to ask questions about my work and use their imagination rather than just see a piece and move on to something else. One piece that stood out to me was the face in the path of trees. It is difficult to come up with something that Jerry wants me to know about this piece. All of his work is interesting.

Blog Entry #1: Photo-Based Design Interaction
- This sign uses an image of a cigarette not being allowed in the area. It is used to prevent smoking.
- This handicap sign uses the image of person in a wheel chair to show others that this parking spot is only to be used by people with disabilities.
- Unlike the Women's Restroom the Male Restroom has a picture of a man. This shows that this room is only to be used by males.
- The purex 3-in1 has a picture of the actual product and the image has words going to the picture to show exactly what the product is used for. It also has a flower in the bottom corner to show the scent "spring oasis."
- The cover of Madden 13 has a picture of a NFL player. This is used to show that this is a football game rather than baseball or soccer.
