Assignment #2 Ally Hawkins




I took this picture of my sister over the 3-day weekend. The day I took the picture, it was 65 degrees out, which is pretty rare in the middle of February in Utah. Anyways, it was one of those days where you just felt happy to be alive. In the midst of crazy college schedules, I wanted to show the importance of taking a step back and remembering what it was like to be a kid again-dreaming all the time. I remember when I was little, I wanted to be a professional singer, and then an actress, and then president of the United States. Needless to say, those didn't work out. However, growing up, I have realized the importance of dreaming, and more specifically to dream big. This quote pretty much sums up my feelings, "No dreamer is ever too small, and no dream is ever too big."

I decided to use the font "Amatic small caps" because I think it embodies a child-like innocence. Instead of using a long quote, I just used the words "dream big" because I think the simplicity shows more. I also edited the photo, to make the shadows darker and the sky more blue.

I commented on:
Ruben Felix
Lauren Michelle
Porter Chelson

  16. The typeface works well with the feeling of the image. Both the photo and the typeface have a very personal feel to it. The "Dream Big" looks like someone wrote it, thus making it seem like the girl in the photo thought it or wrote it. I think the vignette is a little strong, but otherwise it's a great shot.
