Image Methodology – Pop Art or Combine (Kim)

For this project we were given a prompt and asked to create a visual representation with scanned items manipulated and arranged to portray our response. I designed a response to how I and in what way I sleep. The symmetrical approach makes the colorful cupcake wrappers look as if they are exploding out of the center of the book mirroring how my hyperactive dreams consume me. The colors also create a nice balance to the black and white colors of the print in the background and enhance the boldness of the statement being cradled in the center. I originally had more scanned items and text but it made the design feel too chaotic when most dreams are more subtle and sleep is more rewarding and should not feel like chaos.
