'Gather No Moss'

Today we started a new module entitled 'Advanced Digital Communication'. From the looks of it we are going to be heavily focused on motion, sequential and interactive elements of design.

In the first section, 'Gather No Moss', we were given 3 short stories to read and interpret. After choosing one of the stories we must then create 4 sets of 5 sequential images (20 images in total). These images have to portray the themes from a selected paragraph, the tone of the writing, the atmosphere created by the author and so on.

I decided to go for 'Light is like water' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez because his writing was very descriptive, imaginative and created a strong image in my mind. There is a lot of visual references I can work from to help communicate these themes visually.

This sections title, 'Gather No Moss' is taken from the proverb:

 'A rolling stone gathers no moss'

created by Publilius Syrus and implies that the lecturers want us to keep moving, keep being creative and keep thinking of new ideas.
