a day in the park

so this account actually took place on thursday so sorry for being delayed. anyway we were supposed to go out into the city and engage with people about our individual projects and more specifically, our collaborative project. i didnt want to do that at all. i just wanted to chill. i was physically and emotionally exhausted from prior evangelism and working late nights. so i was in a really bad mood and just wanted to zone out and relax. this whole project is go go go, always moving and hardly resting, so that on top of being in an insanely crazy and different city causes alot of stress. anyway i was able to move past that moment of selfishness and see the beauty in the city. the picture is from Bryant Park- for those of you who dont know this park, it's the one where the fountain from the FRIENDS opening scene is located. random fact: the park is totally wireless! anyway hope this picture makes you realize how beautiful this city is. just to let you know what our collaborative project is up to ill add a picture from that. p.s. its the second pic

So this is a look into our collaborative project. to give you a brief explanation we again are working with the theme of re-humanization and we aimed to ask random people questions pertaining to humanity and emotion in an attempt to let them know that people actually care about them and want to see past their projected images and really get to know them. anyway, that was a bit rough, but anyway, what we did was then photograph them after the dialogue, and then i took their answers and typographically arranged them behind their portrait. we printed their photos on transparencies then laid them over the type. It looks pretty cool when actually all framed up but i dont have a photo for that because we aren't completely done, but i do have an illustrator file. and that is the picture below. the reason the photo is overexposed around the actual head is so that once printed and placed over the type it would be readable. anyway hope you like it.
