I'm in the middle of a photo project for my digital class and I'm doing an interpretive portrait. What I am trying to portray is sort of the mysterious primitive person inside my subject that effects who he is. Sort of putting a physical image to the person he is inside, that has more of a wild nature and isn't necessarily refined. Pok keeps trying to get me to make this more about a primitive vs. modern, but I'm not really looking to compare a primitive to modern. He also keeps telling me to keep pushing the envelope and make it more dramatic and more editorial, so I'm confused. If anyone has any suggestions on where I should go with this, or just general impressions it would be really helpful.

PS: these photographs are not really meant to be seen on a small scale so if you click them they should get bigger

Reading Question

What I found interesting in the reading is when they were talking about how information is being transfered, and viewed in todays world. The use of portable devices for searching the web even has become very popular. I have actually met people who instead of paying for internet on their home computer, they just pay for their phones to have internet all the time and only surf the web on their phone... I have two questions:

How many of you people surf the web on their phone daily?

Do you think that one day that the home computer will be obsolete? Is the way of the future only lap tops and cell phones and if so how is that going to effect the internet market?

Sorry that was way more than two.. but it made me think...

Colors and Possible Fonts

I like these colors, but I cannot decide if I want to do a hand drawn typeface or if I want to go really rigid in my fonts. I think it will depend on the illustrations, but I know what I want to sort of look like, I think...

Info Graphics

I found a blog that is devoted to info graphics. They have some interesting things, its worth a look.
I really liked this one especially. I'm not sure if it is technically an infographic, but I like the style of combining something photographically real to create another image.
