final journey map. 

depicting the thrill and excitement of past nighttime endeavours, reminisced upon as carla takes her cyclical, routine journey to mount royal university. 

the size of the moon represents the volume that the action was producing. a full moon represents a song, a waning crescent is a hand-tap, a half-moon is a story / memory, and a black moon represents conversation. the 16 moons each represent a minute of her journey.

week #10 of knolling: best knoll

i think that my best knoll would have to be my week #9 one, representing balance. although highly simple, i feel that i finally was able to achieve equal lighting, and still play with elements of colour and contrast.

final iterations + final project for the human rights poster.

article 22: everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each state, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

just as an umbrella protects us from the rain, social security allows for the protection of the individual, through collaboration within society. 

i chose a light yellow background to symbolize hope and the uplifting of those who are in need. the strong black outline makes this poster appear cautionary, warning us that all humans are important, and in order to grow and develop as a society, everyone must be taken care of.

week #9 of knolling: balance

(30 of the same item)

celebrating friday in the sweetest way possible, with some skittles of course. in terms of balance, there is the same amount of pieces of candy per colour. the spacing is dependent on the colour of the candy, with each colour becoming more and more separated as this little sunburst pattern moves outward.

week #8 of knolling: colour

with all that dismal snow and slush outside, there’s nothing more uplifting than gazing upon some greenery (all of these plants are fake, my green thumb is definitely lacking). i chose to go with a monochromatic green colour palette, with various shades and tones represented.

week #7 of knolling: hierarchy

(15-30 items knolled in public)

here are 15 items that i found in my bag, knolled on my yoga mat before class! in terms of hierarchy, i organized my objects by size-with the larger ones on the top, working down towards the smaller ones at the bottom. tricky to avoid shadows with the dim lighting in the studio, but i wish you all a peaceful week!

week #6 of knolling: repetition

(50 items)

when realizing that 50 items were required for this week’s knoll, i immediately thought of my collection of polaroid images. i love to document the things and people in my life that bring me joy, and it makes it all the more special to possess that in a printed-out form.

week #5 of knolling: contrast

(different 20 items that somehow change the meaning of valentine’s day—consider metaphor).

valentine’s day is perceived as a holiday in which romantic relationships are celebrated. sometimes you have those moments of reflection on past relationships, represented by these dried roses. i dry every rose i’ve ever received just out of habit, and i love it because it freezes a moment in time. remember this valentine’s day to love yourself, the world around you, and those who enter your life :)

this knoll represents contrast in terms of red vs. white roses, as well as the difference in the length of the rose stems.
