Poem Visualization









In creating the visualization for this poem I decided to take a different approach than what I had originally intended with the gecko-shaped children's book. I felt that my final resulting structure and format better reflected the deeper meaning of the poem, and it was just easier to read than the other format would have been. The only thing I would change is that I would have printed the book on a thicker, more textured paper to go along with the feel of the poem. The font I used for the text was Present which was activated from the Extensis Suitcase.

Self-Visualization: Final Product


This is the final result for my self-visualization project. This is the first time I have ever really tried to do something different, and really step outside of my comfort zone by making the project a little more three-dimensional and almost interactive. I chose to have the text on the back of the photographs, and reflected in the mirrors in order to have an explanation for what the objects mean. Basically, it serves as a deeper reflection of myself because it goes beyond the material objects and represents something deeper about my interests and my character. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome, and it's a project that I'm really proud of.
