YNKW?

I love my New Media Technology class! Our professor assigned the class our first project initiated from a surrealist game called “exquisite corpse”. It’s a creative game were people compile a collage of words, each of us would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next student for their contribution. Afterwards, the phrases were cut in pieces and then distributed to us. We then have to make our own image from that random metaphoric phrase given to us and apply it as a visual graphic.

I got an eeaaassyy one! Using a powerful Mac G5 computer with the help of Adobe Illustrator CS, I was able to come up with this explicatory image. Created simply in black & white, it pretty much describes itself. Hmmm… do you get the picture? Does it make any sense? It damn should. Check out the question marks and how they used to form a “stick figure” mimicking a clueless gesture. Plus, check out the shapes and repetition of text… which are relevant to the image themselves. Nice eh?!
