Digital Triptych
My inspiration for this project was my cousins, Brooke and Briana. They look up to me in the greatest way, and that means more to me than anything else. They inspire me to be a better person and they truly bring out the best in me.

When video game worlds collide
Sid meier and shigero miyamoto
Sid-north America, father of computer gaming; cutting edge of technology; civilization IV- colonization; his games don’t focus on a superhero, or main character; he’s big on American history and historical games; created a simulated game called Pirates; simulated game Railroads!, which is a less imaginative game
shigero-japan, pioneer of video game development; Nintendo; the legend of Zelda, 1986, came out in with the home console. Could save your work and turn off the game, which differed from arcade games; Super Mario 64, 1996, very inventive, I ntroduced a refined way to play 3D games, included a third-person point of view, required an analog controller so you could view 360-degree view of the world; created DonkeyKong which created a platform for this type of games; Super Smash Bros., 1999, introduced a new sound system,

Response to Responses...
I found that the majority of the class had most of the same ideas when it came to the artists. Almost everyone mentioned that they enjoyed the humor that Teun Hocks brings to his work. I saw that most of us were left with feeling apprehensive after viewing Gregory Crewsden's work. A lot of people brought up that Cindy Sherman's photographs are just as powerful in black and white. By reading their blogs, it was usually easy to tell which photographer they took the most liking to.
