This week in ds106, we’ve moved on from visual assignments straight into Design Assignments.  To get better acquainted with designing, we have to complete at least 15 stars worth of design assignments from the ds106 Assignment Bank.   Everyone must complete certain assignments in order to achieve fair exposure to design elements.  My first assignment, One Story/Four Icons, is a 2 star worthy assignment in which we choose a movie or novel and reduce it to four key symbols to represent the plot.  I chose this activity over the others, because it seemed more stress-free and fun!

I chose one of my favourite movies, but I can’t tell you which one!  You have to guess!  Below are my four symbols:

I found each of the images via Google: the mustache,  drink, flute, and prompter.  I added them to a folder which I opened in Picasa, highlighted them all, and clicked “Create Collage”.  I then sorted them the way I wanted and uploaded my final photo to flickr.
