Once Upon A Blog


STEP 1: CREATE A BLOG

Well, that's the easy part done.

STEP 2: POST THREE IMAGES
A) YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK BEFORE COMING TO UNIVERSITY





This is a quick animation I did about a year ago, simply for the purpose of challenging myself with PhotoShop and a few other programs. It took me just under two hours, which was mainly work on the background image. I've done better, but as the original, this is the most creative (in my opinion any way). I think it's pretty interesting, as illusions and optical trickery is always cool.





B)AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE




Designed by Polish partners Klausdiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikiciuk, the "Upside Down House" is one of my favourite pieces of architecture. A bit of googling pulled up the information that my memory had long since forgotten. The great thing about this architecture is that it uses something very simple to create a very dramatic effect. By taking the basic concept of inversion and applying it at every level of design and construction, this building is a challenge to both perception and ways of thinking.


C)AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL




I am fairly shocking at photography, and not having a camera is my way of ensuring that my horrible photo's never come into existence. However, this is one of the few pictures I've taken that came out okay. A borrowed point-and-shoot camera is a wonderful thing. This is the beauty of industry, of machinery, of mechanism.
