Type 2, Assignment 3, Post 1- Tricky, tricky

 This took a long time to figure out.

My first idea was to do something about optimism. I thought about the how Berlin held out during the blockade and how the 50s and 60s had unlimited optimism about the space program. I considered how space research leads to a huge amount of Earth based benefits. Material sciences, climate research, etc. This seemed a bit blah, but the initial plan where I would incorporate video came from this. (red box)

The next idea was to do something about my medical problems and how it has affected my personality. Nope. (blue box)

 

So I was sort of stuck.

Finally I was going through an junk drawer and found a post card from my dad. This evolved into documenting a series of letters between my parents in the late 80s. My dad's correspondence is typed, my mother's written. I think this will be a nice contrast in typography. I've also scanned some photos to give the viewer some more insight into my parents. I started working on the layout in After Effects, but mostly selecting pictures.
