For this assignment reduce a movie, story, or event into its basic elements, then take those visuals and reduce them further to simple icons, four of them. Write your blog post up but do not give away the answer, let people guess! The challenge is to find the icons that suggest the story, but do not make it so easy, Remixed: Put on your elbow patches, strike a dramatic pose, and give an assignment an over the top critique as delivered by an art snob.
At the beginning of this post i included the link for the four icon story that i am going to critique. The assignment was submitted by OFWGKTA_Jordan.
I want to start off by saying how could you go wrong with a rage comic..they always make any topic funny. Also seeing that something is a rage comic makes the chances of people wanting to look at it or read it so much more greater. The message portrayed by your four selected images was well thought out and the story was clear and straight forward, and truthfully accurate. I would of liked the images to have been just a little bigger, but the way they were lined out side by side in the form of a comic strip was a good touch…it really illustrated the cause of effect of each stage portrayed by each image. Well done!!
