In my first Assignment for Survey and Principals for Design, we created a Yearbook Spread. The purpose of this assignment is to aquire knowledge of our instructor and our classmates. Each person had to create a short biography, using key words, and also answer three other personal questions.
Introducing Me
My name is Imogen Pettyfer, I am 20 years old, and I am in my first year of the IDEA Program at Capilano University. I was born and have lived in B.C. all my life. From the age of three I have lived part time with each of my parents. I am first generation Canadian with all my family scattered around England. My love for travel evolved from the many times I have gone to the UK, and Europe. I have also travelled Mexico three times, and once to Seattle, New York, Hawaii, and Cuba. In this assignment you can see a silhouette of an airplane. I wanted to draw a plane but then blacked it out to convey a “black hole” effect it has on money. One of my biggest fears is to not have enough money to live my life independently and to be able to travel, as both can burn a big hole in your pocket. Moving to the meaning behind my name, I have coloured it green because it is my goal to help the word by staying as eco-friendly as possible. The letters are rounded to make them feel looser and more organic. My last name is below smaller and very simple. This is to represent my sophistication and maturity in contrast to my colourful first name. Below I have illustrated my car which lets me do one of my favourite things, driving. I like to plan road trips and discover many of the places I want to experience in my life, specifically in B.C. as I want to discover more of my home province. Next is the sunflower which is one of my favourite flowers for the simple reason of its colour, yellow. I try to surround myself in colour and it helps stay in tune with my emotions, yellow being happiness. Lastly when looking at the yearbook spread as a whole, there is a lot of black and white, this is because I am a very private person when it comes to my personal life, and so the lack of colour represents that there is still a lot left about me that I don’t openly talk about. However, with time more and continuous familiarity I am sure more of me will be revealed.
