Stories, tales and exaggerations are genres of writing. Specifically, Sara refers to writing with a corresponding image, including but not limited to: a graphic novel (story); children's poem (tale); exaggeration (sardonic comics).
With examples from Persepolis, Improbable Records, and Married to the Sea comics, Sara will illustrate how visual elements and text enhance each other to form a lasting impression through a solid image from a connection made.
Her talk will show how text and images form a hilarious union.

Making Meaning and Mixes
Last week, my classmates and I presented projects that featured our interpretation of how to "tell a story with images." The parameters were loose and we each employed various techniques to tell our stories. There were photo essays, slideshows, and even a film.
The process is a give and take: each person made a presentation, and we viewers made meanings from the images we saw. Our personal and emotional ties influenced how we each perceived the images.
While I created a slideshow for my presentation, I've become very interested in experimenting with image remixing. With Sumopaint, I upload photos I've taken and digitally manipulate the photo with the application software. Each image remix enhances and/or alters the visual aesthetic. I find the whole process both stimulating and satisfying.
As I remix, I think about how the image morphs from its original into something relative but different. The feeling emoted from each original to its remix changes.

Sun Peep
The original photo was taken on an overcast day, no sun in the sky. The remix was altered to bring out the natural blue hues of the sky, and a "sun" was added to peep behind the clouds.
What do you make of each image?

Reel Images
What is an image? Images are photographs, typefaces, familiar faces, a favorite place or flower. The sight of such images are evocative for their viewers.
Truthfully, we each have our own unique interpretations of the same image because it is natural for us to graft our own experiences onto that image. We want to make it ours.
How an individual engages with an image is in fact influenced by several factors, vis-a-vie aesthetic engagement: sensory, emotional and representative stand out in my image reels.
For my blog for class this week, I digitally remixed photos and grouped them together into image reels.
The images are shown morphing into their originals.
