Final Project -- Bronwyn Burkhardt -- Life Lives

Throughout the semester, I have mostly focused on aspects of life. I decided to end with life, and I hoped to include a lot of what I learned this semester. I did, indeed, include much of what I learned, but I also wanted to bring together those thoughts that everyone learned. 

I took all 252 images that everyone created throughout the semester to form a mosaic collage. Starting with dirt, my seedling grows into a beautiful flower, something I think we all aspire to do, metaphorically of course. I love it because it embraces what the class was about--learning and growth. It is really cool to see all of our projects together as one to form a unique image for each to interpret as their own.

I mosaic-ed the pictures on Photoshop and then overlaid the created pattern to form the collage. I originally desaturated the image, but did not feel as though you could see it for its worth. I also liked the color it added to the dirt, making it look more intricate and detailed. I then used a Quicksand font to apply a clear and simple message to the images. I took it to a gif generator in order to keep it on a constant stream.
