Post 1 - 01/17/08


Unfortunatly this week was a little busy getting my schedule organized to get to the library. Every Tuesday and Thursday I get to class by 11am and do not get out of Parkland until 8:45pm. There is not a whole lot of time to get up to the library in those two days. This upcoming week, I will make it in to Parkland to get some scans for this blog.


This week however, being that it is 10:20pm after class, and I have to work tomm. I went online to howdesign.com (how magazine) and found a neat item that I will post here instead.

The image is entitled Hurricane Poster and it attraced me because it is just so simple but it does send out a strong message. HOPE...for those who lost everything due to a hurricane, there is always hope watching over you. The tree in the water is a symbol of how it still stands strong even though its surroundings are gone. After the water resides, it will still be there...bringing hope to those who wish to return and start over with a new life.

Great analysis of the poster. I like the symbolism of the tree as hope.
