Take a close up picture of something as see if people can guess what it is. Try doing the skin or outside of something that would make it hard for someone to guess!

This is my first Visual Assignment and I’m happy with how it turned out. I spent a lot of time taking pictures and thinking they were too easy to guess before I took this one and figured it was a little more difficult to figure out.  I simply took the picture with my phone and uploaded it to flickr. prior to embedding it in this post!  I’m at work so it had to be something in my immediate environment. I had to work around the lighting in my building in order to get a good picture, but I think I managed pretty well for my first attempt.  Can’t wait to see what you all guess it is.

I chose to do the assignment ‘that’s not what i expected.’ It tells us to take a close up picture of something and see if people can guess what it is.

My picture above is not just of the letter W. The canvas on which W rests is the real medium. I used my iPhone, once again, and uploaded the picture to my mac. Afterwards in preview, I cropped the picture out so to hide the other distinguishing feature which would have made it easy to guess of what the picture is.

I figured this visual assignment would be fun and quick, so I chose it. I was right. Can you guess what the W is resting on?

Can you guess what this is? Hint, I’ve been hanging out in the convergence center all day.

I was searching through the visual assignment bank trying to find an assignment with a value of three stars. I came across this assignment. I found this one interesting because it is a game within an assignment. These assignments have been stretching my creativity and this one continued to do so. I wanted to pick an item that wouldn’t be too hard for others to figure out what it could be but, at the same time I wanted the item to have some sort of meaning to me. So here it goes and good luck!

This is just a part of the item that you are trying to determine what it could be. This part of it is round and can spin fast. There are generally four of them on the item and in total to complete the set for the item there would be eight. The part of the item pictured is white but they can come in many colors and different hardness values but they must always be round if they are to work properly. There a many different ways people can use this item. It can be used daily to practice a type of sport, used to help you get to and from close locations (just be careful of rocks and rough surfaces), or just every now and then for some recreational fun! Can you guess what the whole item is?

This assignment was worth three stars. As such, fulfilling half of the required six stars worth of visual assignments for this week.
