The main element here for work I want to highlight is "scale" When looking at the original piece digitized one may not see how something that looks like it would be small could be impactful until, till in that same moment you look at the scale of the piece and its unavoidability that makes the piece so loud and powerful

For piece two, It's important to highlight "color/focal point" elements. The color of the text in comparison to the collaged Andy Warhol Bananas highlights the zero it is meant to be forming, as well the banana placement creates readability and draws your eyes to the middle aka once again that zero.

My Picture 

A few of My Favorite Things

 

A Few of My Favorite Things

Item 1: Bows. In this case, just one bow, but bows in general. Bows have become an integral piece of my style over the years, and I can hardly leave the house without at least one.

 

Item 2: My notebook, I've had this thing since the 10th grade, and it has become essential for jotting down daily notes and acting as a day-to-day time capsule.

 

Item 3: My point-and-shoot camera, a newer piece to my collection of things but very quickly became my most used. This cam is one of the best things to save memories but keep me off my phone.

Item 4: This piece represents all my jewelry in general. Most (if not all) of the pieces I own are gifts or thrift so they are wearable little stories I couldn't live without!

 

Item 5: This one is metaphorical in a sense, and I couldn't label it, but I took this picture in this location for a specific reason, sunshine! It is not an item, but I couldn't leave sunshine from the list of things that are my favorite. so, I captured all my items in it.

 

Item 6: claw clips, this cat one is my personal favorite, but in general I love them all. This one is a pretty phase value but plays a huge role in the college lifestyle.

 

Item 7: vintage perfumes, they are one of my many favorite things whether I'm wearing it or not. Because I'm so far from home it's one of the many things I have here that remind me of my mom.

 

Item 8: One of my favorite things to collect since moving here is seashells and oyster shells, and they quickly have moved up in the ranks of things that bring me joy. One of my favorite things to do is put them in an envelope and ship them to people back home.

 

Item 9: finally, this Sonny Angel I got while staying in NYC represents one of my favorite things, little random nick-nacks I collect while traveling, even if it's a little naked baby wearing a bunny hat!
