The song I used for this project is from one of my favorite band, Panic! at the disco’s “This Is Gospel” It was released as the second single from their fourth studio album. The reason I choose this song is because of the drum sound during the verse 1 and also the singer’s wide vocal range. The song has a very moderate yet rhythmic beat witch makes people visualize the song in a picture form.
During the verse 1, lots of drum is been used to create impression of heart beat. This beat is been used in the begging of the song and also at the end of the song, and it sort of created a parallel structure. The drum its been used heavily n the song which made base and guitar seems merely a support that is highlighting the drum. During the Pre-Chorus, lots of harmonies is been used, and kept repeating at every end of the sentence, this made me visualized a circle with dash line. Also the frequent use of drum beat remains me of the ECG when the line goes up and down, and at the end of the song, the drum slowly starts to fade away, and it almost made it looks like a zig-zag line is slowly turning into a straight line. This song really gives me deep emotion and I love the parallel structure that is been created in this song.
This project told to me differentiate the difference between obvious and ambiguous figure-ground compositions. I also learned that the two figure-ground compositions can really affect the implication of the design, they have completely different means of expression. During the phase 2 of the project, I didn’t quite fully understand the obvious figure-ground compositions, and it resulted me created six ambiguous figure-ground compositions, but a light bulb popped up in my head after seeing other colleagues’ work, now I feel confident with it and also if the future project contents works about obvious figure-ground compositions, I’ll say I am very confident about that.
This phase of the project required lot of focus and attention, because its very different from previous phase. Hand traced is not perfect compare to the digital, thus, I’ll say its little difficult. Overall, I’ve spent about 2 hours on this.

Its very easy to find an urban artifact in New York City and New York itself could also be considered as generator of urban artifact, because it generates enormous of garbage every single day. Three Urban artifacts I choose are advertising card, flyer and cookie package. Each of these artifacts may have a story behind of its origin and how it ended up in that specific location, thus I made assumption for each artifact.
The advertising card is from a deck of card, a guy bought a poker card in a dollar store and went back home then decided to throw the advertising card since it useless, he threw the card form his window and the card fell on the street.
The Flyer lies in the middle of a side walk. It is not a surprise that its there, because there is a mobile serves store near by, probably they tried to sell their newest serves plan, but the people aren’t interested on that, thus, these flyers ended up in the middle of the side walk instead of in the pocket.
The cookies package lies next to a bench, perhaps someone came back from a long day of work and decided to take a rest on the bench before going home, but he felt little hungry, so he bought him self a pack of cookie for snack. After finished his cookie, he tossed empty package on the floor just like a typical New Yorker instead of the garbage can just few steps away.
