Shiny and New

One of the last projects I created while still in school was called Advance. Less traditional and much more digital than my previous projects, it guides you through a typical day in my life. Here is a more in depth rationale, and a link (you may have to refresh it) to my website. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

To communicate what my day to day life entails I took a series of photographs of my surroundings. These photos create one extremely long panoramic photo that shows a sequence of events from the beginning to end of my day. I chose to photograph a simplified version of what my average day has been like for the last three years; sleep, eat, school, sleep, to help me remember what I went through to get to where I am today. While I did not always want to go to school I have never wavered in the fact that I want to be a successful graphic designer. The commitment I have made to school has helped me to prioritize, make time for and enjoy the fun things I do. While viewers will only see one day, each photo represents time spent over the last three years. Minor details are lost over time and the bigger picture becomes more clear. Focusing on the accomplishments I have made overall surpasses the now minor mistakes I made on the way.

The panoramic is distributed to viewers as a 6 minute movie with commentary. The pace of the movie changes, as does the pace of my day. On occassion time seems to fly by, at other times it feels that I am almost at a standstill.

Sequence
• A set of related events, movements, or things that follow each other in a particular order.
• The related events, movements towards bettering my skills and lessons that followed each other to prepare me for graduation are the sequences of my design education.

Series
• A set of books, maps, periodicals, or other documents published in a common format or under a common title.
• A set of photographs published in the same format under the title Advance.

• A set of stamps, banknotes, or coins issued at a particular time or having a common design or theme.
• A set of photographs taken on one day with the common subject of my surroundings.
