I cut little pieces out of a furniture ad and have decided to show people discovering land and eventually deforesting it completely and ruining the area with pollution. I am going to crop these images and put them into photoshop and add fire to the last one as a sort of rebirth. This will make the gif loop perfectly (or I hope it will). They uploaded backwards... oops...

  I'm thinking about maybe creating a GIF. Maybe something that has to do with all of the fires going on right now. I am thinking about a silhouette of a person going and building a town. Eventually the town grows to cover the page(?) and becomes widely popular (like L.A.). and then a large fire comes in and wipes it out which could end up making the perfect loop with the silhouette coming over to restart the process. Maybe this could be done with figures cut out with paper and then the fire effect was added in later with editing or something?

  For my last iteration I was experimenting with a few different things. I added my hands holding the planner to show that even though things are a mess right now I am the one who ultimately decided what I do. I tried adding pops of color and I think it's pretty successful. (My theme is mess)

  I added more dominos like was recommended in class. I also made the gear shift more faint to draw less attention and be a sort of hidden thing. I made the ball bigger so it seems like it is blocking the road more. I also added the overlay I found during the last class meeting over the bottom of the planner so it looks like there is some more writing.  

  My word is mess.

My word is mess. I've tried to make it more messy with some clutter that's around the apartment. I added some sponge on the road to show an effort to keep everything clean while it all just gets dirty again.

  I got rid of my little hamster from the image and added an overlay of my journal. I think it ties the image together more and adds a nice effect. I am doing laundry tomorrow so I'll get some pictures of that and add it to the image.
