A5 Edited Scene

Find at least two precedents of vignettes of a visual or graphic style that you would like to emulate. Write, using descriptive and professional language, what your vignette is going to communicate graphically. Building on your previous steps, select a base photo from your study area. If you don’t have one, use a Google Street View image. Sketch your intervention on trace paper over your photo. Scan or take a photo (from your phone is fine) of your sketch. Adjust and improve base image and remove elements that are distracting using tools covered in lecture. Replace or add a at least one material in the base image that will support your intervention. Examples include replacing building siding, replacing sidewalk concrete with stone paving, or adding awnings to storefront entries on a building. Add people and/or elements (minimum 2) to your image. Elements may include trees, street furnishings, etc. Export your work and upload to Miro.

NARRATIVE

My vignette represents Ballard Ave as a shared street. This is important because the beautiful brick road in the historic downtown area is currently devoted tto cars, and I imagine what it would look like if the brick extended to the edges of buildings creating a space for pedestrians, bicycles and more. Cafe seating pushes into the street which slows traffic, and 2 strips of raised bricks could serve as rumble strips for visually impaired users.
