Todays class began with us pushing the tables and chairs off to the sides aying out the images from our homework. We then walked around and looked at all the images and tried to make out the stories. Some stories were easy to read others were a bitconfusing. Then as a class we nominated the ones we liked the best and the from those, we voted on our favorite as a class. We chose the one with the little girl looking at the barbie, then a picture of a woman with lines drawn on her face and then a scary looking cat lady.The story that I got from these images was that in our society today we are being molded at young ages to beleive that we need to look perfect but in the end it does not turn out that way. After we discussed the different means of this story we tried to figure out the stories that were more difficult.
We then layed out all the images together and made up our own stories and posted them on the walls. A few of them were really clever, others a little boring, but by this point we understood the way we needed to put images together in order to tell a successful story.
The last part of class was spent watching a TED talk given by John Maeda.He talked about complexity and simplicity. He used humor and pictures to talk to the crowd and get his message across. His talk was very interesting and I enjoyed his message.
