Day 12 Assignments

[Dave Arena]

What we learned doing this assignment is it’s more difficult than we thought to find photos that represent the show as we visualize it. But, after looking at the Rock Dad sample and listening to the interview, we see how it can elevate the entire bible and really give execs a feel for the tone.

What I learned doing this assignment is… that I don’t have enough experience with Adobe to be able to photoshop pictures to the extent needed to make a visually appealing Bible. I did brainstorm a few ideas of what I would try to do if I could.

Sharilyn’s Visually Appealing Bible

What I learned doing this assignment is…”a picture is worth a thousand words” but I can’t write thousands of words to create the pictures for a reader.

Because my story involves porn, I had to be real careful trying to find photos. I didn’t use porn sites because they were just too much; not visually appealing. In addition, my story involves food. But not ALL foods. There were too many categories to choose from. Finally, Even though eating and sex are central to my tale, the reason behind the eating and the type of sex are the protagonist’s journey, not the acts themselves.

I don’t know if visually presenting the story is my thing. There are too many veins that run through it. I just wanna focus on the writing; making it come alive for the reader.

This lesson really got me thinking, or rethinking about my descriptions. The Rock Dad example was really helpful in giving me ideas about what was possible. I loved the creative use of well-known imagery, and the relabeling of it to avoid trademark infringement (i.e. Billbored Top 10). Very clever and intentional! I am a bit rusty in the Adobe creative cloud, but I have a ton of ideas that I am excited to try out.
