Final Statement

Human Conflict. My book shows the cycle of human conflict, as it recurs throughout history. I tried, perhaps too hard at times, to make the entire document angled at that theme, with the type and dots working together. However, in the final representations i managed to bring more variety to the work. The dots still have similarities throughout the pages, so that you can tell the subject being depicted is the same. The dots form lines that interact and unravel and disperse. Alternate "zoom" techniques are used in each dot frame to personalize, or amass them.
The type slides also have a similar theme throughout. The text is massed into a square, and the square is manipulated from word to word. The square changes to rectangles that splits and interacts against and with.
I realized while completing this project that time management is key. Everything concerned with cutting and gluing seemed to take three times as long as I had originally planned. I will have to learn to factor that in from now on (if i want to get more that a few hours of sleep in a weekend).

  1. This is a good explanation of project specifics, and it would be more clear if you included a few pages that show - for example - the "zoom" technique or "splits" you mentioned in the post.
