Minor/Passion: Because I'm an International Relations major with a media design minor, I guess my minor/passion would be international relations. I am studying this to explore the way the world works in terms of national interaction, resource sharing, and cultural comparisons, all with the ultimate purpose of creating policies, trends, businesses or innovations that improve the world as a whole.
Single Best Thing that Represents the Discipline + My Passion
Chris Jordan
Evidence to back it up:
This image best represents media design because it incorporates many of media design's tools.
- Photography: It is made up of thousands of individually crafted digital photographic images composed, shot, and assembled by the artist.
- Historical context: Jordan's composition is references a famous Japanese painting of almost identical content.
- Graphic Design: Jordan used critical thinking to make decisions about the placement of each image to communicate visually.
- Interactive: Viewers may click on the image to zoom WAY in and out, down to the finest detail.
- Web: The image is available to viewers online.
- Virtual world: Jordan creates for us an apocalyptic virtual world.
- Purpose/cause: The image clearly has an environmental motive and narrative, that the ocean is made up of millions of pieces of trash. By destroying an otherwise lovely painting, Jordan makes his point quite well.
- The assignment calls for an example that is an image or item. There are certainly better examples of media design that incorporate audio and video and further interaction, but such examples would not fit in the assignment requirement, so this is my best example.
