Assignment #2: Family History
Here's my version of assignment 2. Kind of a montage of several generations who all went to the same school and their most noticeable character traits.

Family History
Here's a photo of the West Frankfort High School, which has been around for generations. I might use it as a unifying factor in the collage.
A tooth logo that sort of looks like a badge. My grandpa was a military dentist during WW2, so I'd like to represent that with a couple of images.
Logo from my home town high school.
A series of wallpaper samples from different generations.
These two would be kind of a play on my grandma's "neat" generation of being clean and proper.
Some stock fashions from the 50's and 70's. I will probably cut and paste the elements I want to represent my family members.
Just a little thing, but my mother had a Doberman Pincher when she was growing up that she was very attached to.
One unifying thing that almost every generation of my family was fond of was simply "dragging maine" on the weekend. I may use this as the key focus of the collage.
Two possible ideas with an event that happened during my great-grandfather's time: a large tornado passing through the area.

Assignment #2: Final
Here's my final graph assignment. I ended up using a pie chart for my weekly distribution of time. The values shown in the face/pie are roughly proportional to the hours, on a 100% scale. After that, I just started playing with the pen tool and liked the way the chart expanded into concentric swirls. I ended up changing the primary font to Cooper, mainly because I liked the way it looked alongside my straightforward graph colors.

Project 1: First Draft
Okay, here's my first draft for the diagram/chart assignment. For some reason or another, I was hitting a brick wall on ideas so I ended up doing a simple pie chart breakdown of my average week this semester. The colors are meant to reference simple emotions for each task, i.e. blue = calming sleep.
