Evaluation: My digital World

For the project my digital world I origonally had the idea to take a picture of myself next to a computer and a globe next to the computer with the background in a tron type style, That quickly changed into digital device with neon type colours, that once again changed into a digital device infected and spreading the virus into the real world. In terms of research I looked at images of computers with a virus, which did not really help, so i then just searched virus's and got some results showing bacteria, It was those images that inspired me to create tentricles to symbolize the virus spreading. I do not have an artist link of any kind because this was my own raw idea.

The prototype image I did ( In the post below ) was a good starting point and the foundation for the final five images, the outcomes for all five were great, my favourite among the five was of a security camera which I coloured gold/yellow with black infections spreading. All was going great until a issue came up, my memory sti ck containing my final five images became currupt and un-useable, I was able to recover two final images of the college laptop but the other three I could not recover the rather ironic thing about it was that my project is about digital devices and my own device breaks on me.

The weakness in this project was my own memory stick breaking, If the group was allowed to put our images on the backup then pay later then I could have still had five images to place in the exhibition, the strengths I think was the overall development of my idea, going from an image too obvious to something more complexed in terms of what I was aiming to get across.

Overall I think I did well on the project, despite the setback I was able to present two of my most developed images at the exhibition.
