Personal Narrative

After cropping me and my friend out from a picture I had, I placed us on a bench and added a bus stop sign. Then, I saturated colors of objects from the past such as ourself, bench, and bus stop. Everything except objects from the past have colors because they are in "present". I cropped another picture of us taken this summer out, and placed behind a bench to show the sequence of our "history". The text describes how we met, and how the event affected me. I had my title as, "Always" because it means "forever", and "all the time" which defines our friendship.

Personal Narrative

I only had this one image of me and my friend on my computer. I had to somewhat make us look like we are waiting for our moms to come pick us up. I added bus stop sign and saturated colors of everything from the past.

Movie Poster "Home Alone"

First, I took a picture with photo booth making a surprised expression. Then, I cropped out my face and altered color balance. It had to have more red and yellow. Using a dodge and burn tool, I made my face to blend in to the original poster. I also used a blur tool so it does not look awkward.  

Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier

"Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier" presents what it means to live in a 21st century digital world. Technology has taken possessions of our lives so much that it over-affects our lives than it should have been. The document allows us to consider the issue of excessive usage of technology in our times. Multitasking is one issue that the document brought up. The director interviewed some MIT students who had to be connected to internet 24/7. Allowed to use their laptops in class, they constantly surf the internet or text which does not disturb them from concentrating on the class. They proudly said they are great multitaskers. However, after the test, it turned out they were terrible at every aspect of multitasking. They get distract easily. Technology lowers people's performances, rather than increasing. Moreover, technology has invented game addiction. People get immersed in their games and are confused what is real and what is not. To solve these problems, Korean government decided to teach young kids internet etiquette so they use it properly since they are the next generation whose lives are connected to internet and use it more than ever.
