when the class looked over my groups dots the overall reaction was good. everyone liked the idea of using the hair for the dots. my designs were not edited when i posted them so the concrete was visible. i now have edited them and they look like dots now instead of people laying down on a sheet. also the whole class decided it was better that travis was the one with the longest hair rather than it being a girl. It gives it more of that wrong look because when most people think of long hair they think of girls, well guess what people... youre wrong!

crit for 3D dots

To critique our 3D designs we split our groups up and traded people with the group next to us. My overall design was liked by most. A few of the descriptive words were as follows:

• Bursting
• flames
• good progression
• If you put the design on a car it wouyld go faster
• good rips
• good variation
• off the book design was good
• likes the big text

Everyone agreed that the final point in the corner is the best part of the flow of the design.

Brain expresses his excitement by declaring "yay art, yay books."

Some of the tips they gave me were that the braids were distracting, I needed to fix one of the ripped peices, the securing in my book was poor, and to cover the cardboard on the edge.

3d dots and textures

I created my 3d dot design using my continuous design that resembled a meteor shower. therefore i created my texture to look like a meteor trail. I made the print come off the designated 6x6 square. I also put some braided text around the "tail" of the design.

For my accordian book had a good variety of designs. I created 3 that came off the page. I also created one that was black with white writing. I taped and then spraypainted the back to make it black. I also constructed a box to hold the designs for easy transport

Most of the comments about this idea were possitive. Everyone liked how we used hair for the dots. Also it was noted that my hair being a light color was a good touch because it added color and excitement to the design. When I first posted my designs they were not cropped so the concrete was showing. Now I have edited them so they look cleaner. Everyone also agreed that travis being the one with the long hair was a good thing because when pepople think of long hair they usually think of a female, well guess what people...

youre wrong!
