taking pictures of our word :)

It was exciting to see our word finally out on campus!  It definitely put it in a whole new aspect.  As soon as I get pictures from Caitlyn, I will put some up.

So on blackboard it said to blog about taking pictures of our word from different angles and how that affects the meaning of the word.
Taking pictures down low on the ground, for example, would make the letters seem bigger and more ominous, as if they were towering over you.  If you were trying to convey the meaning of your word as big and dominant, you would take pictures from down low.
Taking pictures from up above, as a bird's eye view, could make the word look smaller if it was taken from very high up.  It could also capture the environment in a more effective way if you wanted the environment to play a part in conveying the meaning of your word.
Where you place the letters also plays a big part in telling the meaning of the word.  Setting them farther apart from each other would give the sense that they are expanded and use more space.  Pushing them together as much as you can gives the sense that they are more constricted if you wanted to put that idea in the meaning of your word.
For our word, (extend) taking it from a side angle or such might help give it a better sense of expansion and stretching out.  It could also make it look longer, as if we were "extending" the word as much as possible.
