Oragami 101

Before we started this project, Kevin was the only one who knew how to make paper cranes. But before long, we all knew how to do it! We even recruited others to the process, trying to make as many cranes as humanly possible!

We made cranes for almost two weeks before we started distributing them, and we made them out of a bunch of different materials so that we would have a variety of cranes.

We took the materials everywhere we went and folded at all times of the day. During car/bus trips, birthday parties, class time....we were on a mission. The result: a lot of paper cranes. An official count will be coming soon...once we make the final tally.

Comment Thread to discuss Banner Project

We are currently reformatting our blog to make way for the Banner Project. We will be updating the look and style of the blog to better suit Dane Watkin's vision for Moral Meter. Come back soon!

Asha and Marcia: Moral Metre Logo

We realize that the font isn't perfect yet....something to work on. It is meant to convey the instability of morality through its shaky structure.

Updates and Ads

I was doing some homework and reading for this week, when I realized that I had forgotten to post my final subverted advertisement. Here it is. After the suggestions in class, I made the Pepsi logo look more like someone had used a stencil to paint over the cereal box, and I changed the black font. I also changed the position of the billboard, making the corn field more prominent and the idea of a billboard more recognizable.

On another note, I played tour-guide to some friends from France this past week, and on Friday we went to Toronto. They loved seeing the CN tower and all that good touristy stuff, but we actually spent a surprising amount of time looking at billboards and advertisements. After discussing the assignment, we took a few pictures to add to the blog. This whole process has got me thinking totally differently now!
