project6finalcolorinventory02 — Humument Book Cover

The reason I chose this image (Poster, Otis Rush 1967) to reference in my Humument book cover because the main idea of this image is psychedelic. The original theme is about a boy go to find his mother in America, and the new theme is mind-altering. Base on my humument design of the third page, I used to describe his feeling, which is the select the text the show out his feeling. This image is using the deformed bubble text, sinuous lines and pale colors produce an optical surge, suggesting the effects of hallucinatory on the mind.

My Glossary Entires

These glossary entries really helpful and useful of my reading skill, because I still in the english learner level, these words will more difficult to understand it. By having these words of my glossary, I tried to understanding the meaning and remembered all the words. Even though I don’t remember it, but I still have the first impression of these word. Sometimes I looked at my classmate post about the glossary, it was the other way to know more. In my glossary, it made me really interested to know the meaning of these words, because I never saw these words that I didn’t know them very well. I believe the glossary not only for the homework grade, probably for my vocabulary also these words helped my classmates . When I go through the glossary post, I saw a lot of the vocabulary my peers post, some words I never saw it before I looked at it. I was pretty thankful of my classmates who posts their entries benefit me a lot.

Skepticism

I encountered this word from the news ” Ancient human ancestor may have persisted through Ice Age” by Kerry Sheridan. I looked at the sentence “….. they were greeted with skepticism by some scientists.” Now I have an idea of this word means when I search in the dictionary. Even though this word may be not common to use at the class, but useful to describe of the real life.

I found the word of the field trips at the Cooperhewitt, when I looked at the didactic panel of the Spun 2007-11, I saw this word of the title. ” Can a rotationally symmetrical form make a comfortable chair?” Since I learned the word “asymmetrical”, it was the other way of learning the opposite word.

synonyms: petulant, peevish, pettish, complaining

Source – merriam-webster

I encountered this word from the article “Brooklyn was mine.”. ” She also had a habit of footnoting words whose meanings Alfred might not know — like querulous — and providing definitions.” This word of the sentence show the feeling of the character, that will help reader more understand of the story.

declaim — verb

: to say (something) in usually a loud and formal way

Source – merriam-webster

I encountered this word from the article “Lecture Me. Really” by Molly Worthen. “A lecture is not the declamation of an encyclopedia article.” I know this word probably noun of this sentence.

I encountered this word from the article “Lecture Me. Really” by Molly Worthen.

I came this word in the reading excerpt, “The Boston Photographs” . When I saw at the sentence ” …the Boston pictures sowed the dangers of fire escapes and raised questions about slumlords.” I guess this word may mean places or person, after I looked at the dictionary. Definitely my guess is right, now I have an idea of this word means.
