In taking Intro to Digital media, I hope to gain a more in depth understanding of Photoshop and other CS5 programs. I’m not the best at taking photos and I don’t have a very nice camera, so hopefully this class will help my mediocre photos look somewhat presentable. I’m also getting into web and graphic design and hope to possibly do that as a career, I think this class will help with those aspirations.
I just discovered this photographer Marina Richter. Her photos look like she’s taken one or two design elements/ideas, focused on them, and then captured those elements in a photo. They are so focused in intent, while making the viewer feel so overwhelmed. It’s awesome. I think her work will help me in this class because of how inspired I am feeling looking at it.

Alex I think you have found the perfect artist to start with since she really does distill the process down to the basic ideas of design and composition. Remember that photography and graphic design are very close cousins since both seek to create order out of disorder. I look forward to seeing your images this semester.
