A Visual Diary

My name is Ashley McGarry. I'm a junior Visual Communications major, minoring in graphic design at the University of South Carolina. This blog serves as a visual diary for the Advanced Photo-visual Communications class I will be taking this semester as a way to catalog my inspiration and record my progress.

  1. I’ve spent a lot of time this semester posting my own personal work, but for this week’s post, I wanted to concentrate on a technique I want to use in the future. I know my classmate Dustin posted a similar concept a few weeks ago when he talked about Singapore-based photographer Qi Wei and his photo series of exploded views of flowers. While this photo isn’t by a professional photographer (it was a submission to a blog called Things Organized Neatly) I like the idea. Taking a photo from an aerial perspective with even spacing, like pictured above, allows the viewer to focus on each individual element of the photo while also taking in the visual as a whole. This may not be the most photographically innovative idea, but I think it could be used to create a really cool infographic.  I’ve spent a lot of time this semester posting my own personal work, but for this week’s post, I wanted to concentrate on a technique I want to use in the future.
