Before working on this project, I have no ideal what would the finished project look like. It is mentioned in the brainstorming blog that I was going to create a project which describes my attitude towards art from beginning of the class till now. However, when I actually worked on it, there were no thoughts in my mind and I don't know how to present it, which made me realize that I have to come out with another theme for my final project. I went through previous blogs and hoped to get inspiration from them, then I saw Michael's review for my first introduction blog which expected me to talk more about my trip to Alaska during the Spring quarter break. I found it would be a good chance to share my trip with other in the final narrative project.
When I was creating the project, first I need to make sure how to present my tour, using video or images. Making a video would be a good choice which can depict my tour in a coherent way. Unfortunately, I don't have enough photos in my laptop to create a video for a few minutes. Most of the photos that were taken in Alaska are in my friend's camera, who travelled together with me. I realized what a big mistake I've made that I haven't made a copy of all the photos. Anyway, I need to make a project with a few photos in my hand, so using images seems to be best choice. I plan to use three images in this narrative project. The first image is a map which presents my preparation for the trip. The green tab with a capital "A" stands for Columbus, OH where I start my journey and the tab with "B" represents my destination, Alaska. The airplane I used in the image not only points out my main transportation, but also tells my destination since it is from Alaska Airline. The second image shows my main travel path in Alaska. It is clear if we start from the photo at upper left side and follow the little arrows in the image. I also point out where those photos were taken or what's in the photos on the top left of each photos. Therefor, I believe it's easy for others to know my travel path in Alaska by seeing the image and it can be a great reference for those who are planning an Aurora trip. For the third image, I used four photos that I took at the moment I saw Aurora. It was really awesome and I just couldn't believe there is such an amazing wonder in the natural world. Watching Aurora has always been one of my wishes and I'm glad that it has been realized a few month ago. I have to say it must be one of the best experiences in my life, which I'd love to share with others.
After I finished the project, I found that the photos about Aurora I used in the third image can't describe my actual feelings when I saw it. People would be shocked only if they see the Aurora, which is one of the most beautiful natural phenomenon, by themselves. I think it would be better and more impressive if they can see the aurora photos in a larger size, so I upload individually as follows:
