About Me

Hello, my name is Curtis; I am currently in my second year of my Master’s of Architecture and Bachelor’s of Interior Architecture degree. Since I can remeber, I have always been fascinated by the layout of homes and other structures. Looking over the shoulder of my Father, an Architect, my curiosity blossomed into a genuine urning to learn more about architecture. My purpose for selecting my major is my passion for revitalization in a community through architecture.

About Visual Communications 3

As a sophmore at Lawrence Technological University, I have learned many things and still continuing to do so. After two years of architecture courses I have determined that representation is paramount in not only design, but any project. Visual Communications has built upon my former knowledge of representation with new and evocative ideas. The course challenged to not only complete the objectives of the assignment but also to take into consideration how I will be presenting and representing my ideas to others.

Operation 1 Objective

Understand image data (pixels) by investigating information as a function of scale and resolution via systematic visual analysis using raster-based software (Photoshop). Represent this digital data using hybrid physical/digital outputs (printing, collaging).
