Time & Composition: Project 3
In this project, we are using the pictures in the previous project(Project 2, Transitional Space), but in this case, we put pictures and photos of the transitional space together and make them look like a story in a comic way. We learnt the skills of using software InDesign to create frames for the photos, and we also learnt the skills of showing the connection between time by reading lots of instructions and information. In the class, me and my classmates had discussions about how to show “time” by creating comics, and we also extent it into how to show “changes of time” after solving the last question.
The further discussions in class gives me new ideas of re-creating my photos of the transitional space I chose in my last project. I retake some photos of the same place this time but during different time of the day, from morning to midnight, together I picked 8 best photos that can be connected to each other for this project. I also decided to use a donut-like shape for the 8 photos I took, while the 8 photos forms a cycle in equally divided frames. The cycle can be a cycle of a day of that transitional space; the cycle can be a cycle of going in and out of the transitional space; by using the meaning “cycle”, my audiences can experience the usage of that area, and also have a better view of how the space connect two other areas, which forms the “transitional space”.

I did a lot of testings on how should I place the photos in the frames I designed in the software InDesign, I also printed out all 8 photos to make sure that my photos are clear enough for the project. I designed two different sketches for the project and at the end I decide to use the donut-like frames for my final work, which tells my theme clearer and shows the main idea “a cycle”. Last but not least, I found it is interesting to learn the connections between frame to frame, showing time in it, and it is also important that I learnt how to connect “space” with “time” while showing the connections of changes of “time” to “time”.
