Finding Myself: Visual Assignment 119

Well, my name is only three letters long and I thought that was a little unfair, so I made two of these. Both are of places I visit frequently, but one is in the real world (top) and one is on the interwebs (bottom).

So my real world ‘s’ is from the Blackstone logo because I am there at least 3 days a week doing homework and hanging out with people (if you look hard you can see the reflection of the Anderson center in the pic). The ‘a’ is from a Wegmans’ bag because I work there and spend a lot of time there. The ‘m’ is from the Mary Wash sign on College Ave and Route 1.

Everyone should recognize the ‘s’ in my interweb’s world because it is from the ds106 site! The ‘a’ is from Gmail and the ‘m’ is from Tumblr because I spend far too much time at both these place (one a little more justifiable than the other).

How I did it:

I imported the photos of the letters into Aviary, cropped them, ordered them appropriately (the hardest task), and made the image a reasonable size. Then I exported it and boom, my name. Twice.
