One of the pages that really stuck out to me for today's section
of A Humument was page 104. I think it blended a lot of different elements and
at the same time made it a little vague as to what parts were being highlighted
as much as others because some were kind of circled, but not really, but a
little bit, etc. It used a smattering of colors as well as circling words and
cross-hatching pen marks (or whatever it is he used).
In general, I found the second half more interesting because I
noticed a bit of an emergence of more/different styles. It could have been that
I just didn’t get as far as I would have liked on Monday, but I saw a lot more
today. Pages 207 and 208 were especially intriguing. 208 used a lot of blending
and that was different because it blurred out the background to signify and
emphasize the important words, but not so harshly as the rest of the pages.
Still, I liked that he kept creating images in many of the pages.
It gives and added depth because not only is he taking away from the text by
depleting the words, but he is adding to it by giving more meaning and applying
visuals.
