This is the map I created that depicts the relations between the four readings (“The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”, “Banksy’s ‘Dismaland’ in England: It’s a Strange World, After All”, “High Culture Goes Hands-On”, and “Museum, All 60 Square Feet of It, Celebrates the Eccentric”) and how they all have direct correlations where, in the end, it completes a circle. I start of with the political edge in Milan Kundera’s text about propaganda in Communist Czechoslovakia and then how it leads into how people view things, which is represented in the text on Banksy’s Dismaland. I then go on to Museums, which are the last two readings, and how in the end there is always a back story…
Public Space
on 
The public space I chose was Titan which is a grocery store in Astoria, Queens. I erased as well as blurred some parts of this photograph. I blurred the background to change the focal point of this picture. I also blurred the windows and the phone number on the building because I felt that that was something private. I also erased the couple of people that were in this photo.
Gradient
on For this project I drew a still life composed of white 3D shapes, took a picture of that drawing and opened it in Illustrator. In Ai I traced the outlines of the shapes, created a background, and applied gradients. For final touches I added shadows to the objects.
