"On My Way with Project #2"

3.20.2007

Project #2……definitely going a lot better than I had originally anticipated. I am a graphic design major, and have decided to take the graphic fiction route on this project. The dialogue scene was the project that did not interest me or spark any thoughts. Even though I am not the best drawer on the computer, I am using Adobe Illustrator to work on my Graphic Fiction/comic book on the story I chose, A Good Man Is Hard to Find. So far, I am almost half way done with my graphic fiction, as I started working on it a few days ago, and have been trying to go full strength on it ever since. I like how creative I get to be, however, I am a little unhappy on how hard it is to draw people on the computer; so hopefully what I have accomplished as far as drawing people on the computer is good enough. To me, the people look like five year olds drew them, but at least I try and the project is not actually graded on how well we can draw figures on our computer.

It is very nice to have a break from the long stories, and I am glad that we are going to have some “short and sweet” poems to read coming up in the next couple of weeks. Out of the two longer stories we have read these past couple of weeks, The Doll House and Death of a Salesman, my favorite one to read was The Doll House. The Doll House is more my kind of story. I like the fact that there were a lot of somewhat happy scenes in The Doll House and most of The Death of A Salesman was very depressing. Even though the ending to The Doll House was not very happy either, the story flowed much better and had more meaning to me.
