I thought this video of Dyson's vacuum was interesting.

Stress

Having everything break right before finals week has put even more stress on me than I needed. Both laser cutters are down meaning that I can not laser cut my book jacket as needed, this in turn creates and issue with rearranging my title page because it is suppose to match my book cover. So it therefore will not go as planned. Also the guillotine at Jayhawk Ink Broke, causing even more chaos. FedEx does guillotine, but it ended up costing significantly more. On top of that I part of a new management staff for the Roeland Park Aquatic Center. This meaning that I am now responsible for running a business on the weekends and making sure it runs properly. The month of May has been really hectic due to the amount of work my classes have given me and preparing the pool for summer. The stress has overwhelmed me at some points in the semester and I have had to choose between failing at different things. Unfortunately  this class has got the short end of the stick most of the time due to its amount of work and already lower grade than my other classes.

This book has been a challenge for me. Working with Dyson's style doesn't give a pattern or really unique style. Dyson's style is more of a simpler minimalistic style. I tried to take inspiration from his website, but it seemed to be to dull and uninteresting. What I decided to do instead was look at the colors he used in is vacuums and other products to create a color scheme to go with. Since Dyson uses a dark grey and deep purple I decided that those colors would work best in my final layout. I repeated this color scheme throughout the rest of my spreads and book. Using purple as an ascent color, it really made parts of the book stand out.

Photography of Time and Space

For my project of time and space, I am focusing more on the time aspect. I am going to focus more on human portraits and genetics. My plan for this project is to take high quality portraits of my parents and my self and combine them to show the passing on of genetics over time. Another thought for my project is to take portrait pictures of a girl without make up and a girl with make up and stitch the photos together. These are my preliminary ideas and are still in the thought process. Below are images of celebrities that I morphed together in photoshop and somewhat represent what my project make look like.

Double Exposure Photography.

I think that double exposure photography is a good starting point for this second project of documenting time and space with photography. Double exposure photography is two images take at different times exposed toether to form one photo of them both. I think its a cool and good idea for a starting point of this project. Below is a link to some double exposure photographs.
