This topic was the hardest in my opinion, but the one I had the most "fun" doing. Fun obviously in " because it was sooooo stressful. My idea for this topic started as mind games, I wanted to create items that would compliment the idea, such as a a board game, or a rubix cube that didnt work and so on. But because of how little time I had, I shifted the narrative to a sense of being trapped, confused, lost, overwhelmend, etc. And still tried to keep somehting from my first idea. My zine, is a map that when opened displays a maze with no exit and the hands of a person that is trapped inside. I decided to build two boxes instead of one, because I felt my narartive wouldnt be the same with just one box. I wanted to make everything more complicated and disturbing for the viewer or person interacting with it. That is why I decided to cover my boxes with mirror, which reflects the environment around it and also changes it wirh everything being reflected off of it. Covering the...

In class, we were asked to write down 3 sentences following some directions posted on the board, and later we were given back the sentences at random and were arranged in groups, and together with our sentences form a short poem/ comic illustration. My teammates were Noah and Maria Latorre, our sentences were: The great parents has the best relationship with his son. (actual sentence we got) I believe in parrot I voted for Trump. As per we were told, we came up with three different stories. Our final story was about, a father and a son that are reading a book about parrots and are happy, and enjoying their time together. Then the kid tells the dad that he believes in parrots. And on the last illustration, we see a parrot holding a sign that says that he voted form Trump, and shows that parrots aren't good.

For my in-depth piece on the landscape topic, I wanted to go back to the first exercise of the unit and have a different take on it. Instead of just sitting down for an hour, I decided I was gonna walk around different places and write down the turns I made, and if I crossed the street, etc, and record them on a little notebook.  This idea would allow to abstractly represent the city I live in. While in the process I realized that my drawings not just looked like a city, in the sense that rectangles could be buildings and what not, but it also looked like a city seen from above. I chose lines and squares because showed order, structure, simplicity, etc. The first sketch I took my notes and my imagination and came up with that overlapping layout of squares and lines. My first idea was to depict that across all 6 panels and connect them. Then I thought because plexi is clear I could do something with that, but after making 2 little mockups didn't turn out the way I imag...
