From this project, I learned and understand the figure-ground relationships. To be honest, starting the project was pretty simple and easy. However, I did not realize until after going though the inking part of the design was the hardest part of the project. When I was inking the project, my mind was full with regrets about picking every artifacts. Especially inking the bobby-pin was a challenge for me. I also thought about the same thing when cutting the black paper with the Xacto knife, and gluing things together. However, above all I believe that I done a good job. I am really proud of my self and surprised when Professor Spevack complemented on my designs and great critiques from my peers in class. I was more surprised when no one said anything on how I should improve. However, when professor said that one of the design was not so great in figure-ground design. I was actually happy to hear negative comments on my design, because I can actually improve my self.
Yeah working with that Xacto knife was pretty challenging. No matter how challenging it was you still pulled it of with your determination and didn’t give up. I believe the effort you put into your pieces made an excellent execution and you should be proud of your work. It’s a rewarding payoff to get an assignment you put your energy and time into done. Keep up that determination for your future projects and you’ll go far.
Exactly, my hand was full of sweat and shaking when I was using an Xacto knife. I understand your feeling when you were using it. For your final ambiguous figure-ground, I have something to say. I’m proud of you too Ayano. From phase 1 to phase 3 I could see the changes you made, they represent your serious and creative on this project. Nice work Ayano.
