Journal Entries

Journal Entry #1.
At the class discussion board in a folder called "Journal Entry #1: Bang," write an informal paragraph that does the following:

Use one or two of Molly Bang's principles to consider ways of editing one of your photos for the Autobiography in Four Images assingment. What are some visual possibilities for cropping, framing, and/or scaling the photo to convey the feelings you have about the image, and that you want to convey to a viewer? What are the feelings you want to bring out? Consider this example, which we'll look at together.

Journal Entry #2
Write a short paragraph in the Webx discussion "Picture Book Project Concerns" detailing your main concerns in completing the Picture Book Project, both technical and creative. What questions do you most want answered?

Then, pair up with one of your classmates, and spend 10 minutes comparing notes about Picture Book assignment. Look for common concerns and possible answers.

Journal Entry #3: Applying Tufte to Graphic Process
Write a paragraph about one of Tufte's visual examples from Chapter 4 or 5, applying its precepts to your own Graphic Represenation of a Process Project. What does Tufte make you realize you're doing right, or that you want to do differently? Be sure to indicate the page number of the graphic you choose.
