AfterwordThis project was an assignment for Art 220: Introduction to Digital Media taught by Scott Jost, Associate Professor of Art at Bridgewater College. At the beginning of the assignment, students were shown thought-provoking black and white images and asked to write a story using one of the images as a starting point. Andrew’s story involved a young woman, Maria, who lived in New York City with her grandmother and younger twin siblings. Maria’s mother had been hit by a subway not long after the younger children had been born and Maria had raised her siblings, with her grandmother’s help, ever since. Upon coming home one day, Maria discovered that her siblings had disappeared while her grandmother napped. Fearing the worst, Maria ran throughout the city looking for the chil-dren. After spotting what she thought to be one of her siblings, she followed him down a dark set of steps and onto the subway platform. Due to the crowd and the darkness, Maria trips and falls onto the subway tracks just as the train is pulling into the station. In the end, it is discovered that Maria’s siblings were down at the corner store having an ice cream sundae. After having written their stories, the students were asked to create images to illustrate and tell the story entirely through the use of these images. Besides pro-viding a title to the story, words were not allowed. It was required that the student craft three iterations of the same story; one story using 5 images, one story using 7 images, and one story using 9 images. During image capture, students were instructed to create many variations of an image, think about the mood that is im-plied by the image, and to pay attention to what is in the background that assists in the telling of the story.

After the images were captured, students went into the digital media lab to select the best images that would convey the message of the story. After some digital editing, these images were arranged into the sequences and placed into Adobe InDesign to create pages that made up this book. After these images were created and designed, the final project was uploaded to the internet digital publisher, Issuu and published.

The artist, Andrew Peters, captured all of the images in his hometown of Leesburg, Virginia using his immediate family as models. Upon capture, Andrew attempted to keep all facial expression out of the images to add a bit of mystique to the image. He also used light and shadow to create images that only showed as much detail as was necessary to convey the message. He wished to remove as much of the background detail and, thus, avoid creating a busy back story within the images. Through clean, uncluttered images, Andrew hopes that a story of worry, anger, and panic are con-veyed to the audience.
