Reflection on Project
Our first project in BDS 102 was to create a collage of 70
or more photos that show one location, subject, or idea over time and space. As
a mapping exercise, we were encouraged to experiment with different
perspectives and camera settings, as well as combining shots that show one
place over an extended period of time. This project was something I had never
thought of doing before. It was new and engaging. I really enjoyed all the
ideas that developed from experimenting. I learned that you have to try things
and just go with it to find that final result that will satisfy you. It was a
little challenging at first when I was trying to think of how to possibly get
70 plus photos into one collage when we had to stick with the same subject, but
once I started shooting and laying things out it all kind of came together. It helped
me a lot (and saved me money not buying experimental prints) to layout my
pictures on the computer and get a basic understanding of the final size and
composition before starting. By doing this I was able to use every photo I had
printed. My suggestion for next year would be to find photo printing coupons for
CVS or Walgreens and then print your photos (I figured this out after I had
mine printed already).
