Barbara Kruger Assignment

Reflection
a.  In this peice of art I see two hands being held, they are in black and white.  The background is also black and white, it is a city street.  The hands are darker than the background and everything is fuzzy.  In white with a blue back ground in the bottom corner it says 'never question your heart'.
b.  The message in this peice of art is to always listen to what your heart wants.  And to go after your dreams no matter what anyone says.  I think this is an important message for todays society.
c.  I like this peice of art.  I like the contrast between the hands and the background.  I like how the words stand out. 

Barbara Kruger

a. In this peice of art I see a face with half in black and white, and the other also in black and white, but with the colours reversed.  The words "Your body is a battleground" are across the face.  They are written in white with a red background.  There is also a red border on the two sides.
b. I think the artist is giving a message about believing in yourself.  I think it represents what someone wants to do but is afraid to.  It could represent that we are too hard on ourselves.  We are not always happy with who we are.
c. I don't really like Kruger's work.  I think it does have good messages for society, but I don't like the colours and think that it could be more artistic.

Moonlander Reflection

I like most that my redesign is colourful.  I think the different levels are creative.  I like the third level with the purple trees the best and I also like the first level with all the plants.  It will be more fun to play if it looks nice.  I like that it is more challenging than the original moon lander, but not too hard. 

To improve the game I think I could have added an animation to make it more exciting.  Maybe a plant could move in the wind or have an alien move across the screen.  I don't really like the second level as much as the others.  It isn't as colourful and I think it could be more creative.  The explosion isn't how I wanted it to be.  

I think my redesign is an improvement because it is more challenging.  There are some places where it is hard to get to some of the platforms or it is hard to get around some of the plants.  There is also the sun and some stars that the alien will blow up if he touches.  I think the colours and theme make the game more exciting to play.
