Reflection:  I realized with Jean Claude and Christos that they would always go big or go home. They would wrap anything from mountains to actually islands with the help of boats out on the water. They would make types of "floor plans" and sketches so that everything would work out perfectly and they could get the perfect masterpiece. My inspiration was to go a little smaller since they started off their "wrapped objects" project that way and I wanted to symbolize a well balanced diet with the wicker wrapped basket. The food items inside of the basket is everything that exists in a balanced diet such as vegetables and fruits which has been a lifestyle change for me recently. My difficulties was actually wrapping the objects since sometimes the wrapping would come off or overlap and look bulky. I had to place to the objects in a way so you could not see as much of the tape or excessive wrapping it took. The last difficult thing was getting the angle and lighti

Summary As the TED Talk started, David Griffen was introducing himself as the photo director of National Geographic. He started by showing some popular photos taken at National Geographic such as one of an Afghan refugee. He said this is a beautiful photo, but the Harvard Lampoon is thinking of using Photoshop and manipulating the photo to make it their own. David shudders of what else they could do to the already magnificent photo. As the TED Talk continues, he discusses how these other photos of animals, objects, and people can tell a story within themselves and he talks about how these famous photographers were able to capture these amazing shots. A quote that sums up a majority of his talk was, "Photographs emulate the way that our minds freezes a significant moment." Critiques/What I Did Not Like That Much Some things that I did not like about his TED Talk was how he bounced to different subjects abruptly because when he would do that, and I would not be able to

1st Idea: Vegetables/Fruits My first idea is to wrap all sorts of vegetables/fruits potentially in plastic wrap with tape in a basket. This is symbolism for me because I have recently made a lifestyle change in my diet because I want to feel healthier and I have been doing that by eating more vegetables and fruits and I feel much better everyday! The basket represents a balanced diet and how all the different colors of food is healthy and this is what everyone should be eating instead of non colorful food such as fast food and sugar which is not healthy and sort of "destroys" the body. 2nd Idea: Shoes I would want to show a variety of shoes such as ones you may wear going on errands to shoes you may wear to a formal event. I will wrap them in plastic wrap to show the colors and different shapes of the shoes. I will show how shoes is such a versatile variety of shoes mainly for women with being able to wear high heels and or sneakers.
