Week3A

In class today we reviewed our homework which included paths and creating shapes, as well as altering  them in various ways. We also did an exercise called brain mapping, and discussed the various ways to do brain mapping or brainstorming. Included below is a brain map that we had done for the word "october." Brain mapping is a great way to find different ways to express things that are more unique or original than the normal go-to ideas. This is called divergent thinking.

We also discussed mood boards and how they can be an effective way to portray the feeling and overall concept of a project as a preliminary step in the creative process. Below is my mood board for the word "october." We are going to be using our mood board as the first step in creating our calendar desktop wallpaper.
