pepon osorio

 today my class Had an assignmentwhere we had to look at the work of pepon osorio and explain what it meant to us. all i have to say is that pepon has a VERY creative mind. when i looked at some photos of  pepon’s work i immediately saw the picture named  el chandelier. El chandelier was of course a chandelier made out of Christmas decorations. the chandelier was created in 1988. i beleive he used those items to show happiness and how fragile it is.( if you drop a decoration it usually breaks) an idea i had was he could use glass and form it into a smiley face to show how “see through” a fake smile is or take a bottle and put a photo of someone’s angry face in it to show how some people bottle up their doubts and anger.

ways to create emotion in a photo

1. you can use a black dress and put it on a manikin and the dress would symbolize sadness or death.
2. you could hold a rose and it could be a symbol of affection or love.
3. you could have someone holding weights and it could be telling you to work out or to show you what you need to do.

Sources: http://www.washington.edu/computing/560/zz-tufte.html

• Avoid heavy grids
• Replace box plots with inturrupted lines
• Replace enclosed box with an x/y grid
• Use white spaces to indicategrid lines in bar charts
• Use tics to showactual locations of x and y data
• Prune graphics by: replacing bars with single lines, erasing non-data ink; eliminating lines with axes; starting x/y axes at the data values
• Avoid over busy grids, excess tics, redundant representation of simple data, boxes, shadows, pointers, legends
• always provide as much scale information as is needed

Waking life Q & A

1st question: How do they create motion?

2nd question: Why did they use animation instead of real people?

Answer 1: I think they created the sense of motion by changing the lighting and the shades of the characters skin and clothing and just moving the characters body parts.

answer 2: I think they used animation because it would set a good example on how to create movement in animation and I think it would attract more people to see what an animated movie like that would be like.
