Design
In our busy lives, we rarely stop to think about the simple, yet small things that make up who we are, what we want to be, and how we identify ourselves. The overall objective of this blog is to fully come to an understanding of who i am, and learn about the meaning and the importance of race and gender. The picture that is my background resembles our lives, as we are in constant motion. It also represents the blurred idea of race. Everyone has a different idea of how to define race, or how they see themselves. Race is often a touchy subject in which some people feel very uncomfortable discussing. I hope that through this blog I will become more comfortable addressing such topics, as will my peers.

your blog does a very good job of achieving your purpose to come to an understanding of who you are as a person. The use of the blurry background really reflects your point about how race is such a blurred idea that is not very easy to understand. This is a great design keep up the smacked work.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right on with the idea about the "small things." It is easy to forget about them and not realize how important they are to our identity. I like the blurry metaphor as well, but I am curious about any strategies you have for how to focus? Do we just need to slow down, or are there other strategies we can use? Also, Bakari - "smacked work?"
