    What did I learn?

    I learned that there is various of creative processes to show ones interest, what’s on their mind, and how one may think. I learned how to think quickly and how to express myself better without words but through visual representation. Being able to describe what goes through my head when displaying images and what I like through images makes it easier and more vibrant for others to get an understanding of messages I’m trying to convey!

    Challenges and Frustrations

    Some challenges I have faced is the photo safari and the multistage visual blog representation. Finding things to take phots of that might be interesting on the fly applies pressure but helped me understand things can be simple and still have the same impact. The multistage visual blog representation is deemed tedious in my opinion but I felt like it was good with challenging my ability to diversify how I represent myself and to sort through different imagery. I was really frustrated with the third part due to the heavy requirement load as I feel its restrictive of how I could express my own form of visual storytelling. I was also frustrated with myself as sometimes my head gets empty which made it hard to showcase things I couldn’t find a way of expressing

    Smooth processes and what I enjoyed

    The first blog where I described how photography is expressive and more than just photo taking was a bit easy due to my knowledge and practice with photography. With also the deeper thinking within photography being an art form I like to investigate as the complexities of each individual image is interesting to think about on its own. I enjoyed thinking in this way and I also enjoyed the photo safari as it helped me enhance my way of thinking when taking a photo and what it may look like when it is shared.

    Why Do I Want This House?

    Overall Ideals

    For a house I have always dreamt of something spacey and modern. Whilst having that desire, I want something compact that doesn’t give a lot of excess space. A waste of space is a waste of money in my opinion so something that maximizes my homes value makes me secure in my housing choice. I also don’t plan on living with many people besides one or two with maybe some guest space.

    Interior Design

    For the inside design, I want something modern looking that’s simple to prevent visual clutter and room to add decorations that doesn’t rely on the home atmosphere. For color, I would like to stick to brown, white, beige, and black to be consistent with the simple theme. Each space should have simple layering, but also symmetrical design making everything look uniform. I would like for all spaces such as closets and cabinets to be even as i would like all space to be evenly distributed.

    Neighborhood enviorment

    For the neighborhood, I would like a secluded area with a lot of community. I would like the community to be close but with space for individual enjoyment as when I would like to be removed from being around my neighbors, I can feel at home. Vice Versa when I want to visit or communicate with my neighbors their easily accessible. I also would prefer the neighborhood to be uniform in spacing but each house has a bit of individuality.

    Location and reasoning

    For overall space I would like a roof or outside space such as a patio accessible from within the home. Regarding a lawn, if possible I would like a small minimized lawn to prevent heavy maintenance but a visual pleaser for visitors and people walking by. Having a 1 car garage with a driveway will be nice as more than that I deem unnecessary. Finally, I would like my location to be a reasonable distance from grocery and other stores so my needs are as accessible as possible. The purpose for wanting all of these things is to have a comfortable home without having any unnecessary features that may add extra delay in my day to day life.
