In this visual assignment (2 stars) I’m using my noir character, Edie Waz, as the post-it writer. Because of this, I don’t have any references to help with the context besides my older posts. Edie’s Bag, A Canary, and Her Introduction

I chose this post because I thought it would be another way to build my character as well as her mystery. In order to do this assignment, I put stickie notes on my computer, and typed them up to be her notes as if they were on her computer in her house or bar. Then I screenshotted them and added it to flickr to embed here:

this post its include a grocery/shopping list, to do list, a random phone number, and an address and time which happens to be a cemetery in Port Richmond, after it closes.

For this challenge I had to take 10 steps while taking one picture each step. I organized my pictures into a collage. Here it is!

The next visual assignment I did was a story map of my baseball trip that I took last summer with my dad and brother. It was a pretty sweet trip. Check it out! Unfortunately, the embed feature of storymap is malfunctioning, so all I can give you is the link.

The first visual assignment I completed this week is called What’s in Your Bag? So here you go!

The only bag I carry is my school backpack. This ^^ is everything that goes inside. First, I always have one or more binders in my backpack- each binder is for a different class. Then I always have my assignment calendar, where I write down all the ongoing work I have and when it is due. I also carry a calculator for my math classes. Then I have three pencils, two pens, two highlighters, one sharpie, one pencil sharpener, one eraser, and some moisturizer. These are my essentials, and they’re with me all the time when I’m on campus!

Unsuspecting Friends (2)

For this assignment (worth two stars), I had to put the faces of me and my bae over the faces of a famous couple. For the couple, I chose Niall Horan and Harry Styles (though they aren’t actually dating) because they are our favorite members of One Direction. This is the original image:

And using Photoshop, I put each of our faces over our favorite member:

It ended up looking kinda really funny, but it was still fun!
