This week we began our multi modal project, and our group chose to read the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Our project is going to center around the question of how socialization effects your outlook. We chose this question because no other group chose this question, and we thought it would fit well with the book. As I have been doing the picture notes I have found many examples of socialization which have primarily been culturally based. For example, one of the key traits that any Afghan man should have is bravery, and loyalty. I have also learned about the many traditions of Afghan culture such as henna, and different celebrations before a wedding. It is interesting for me to see the contrast between the conditions in Kabul, Afghanistan before the war and after. Especially since I have read the book the Swallows of Kabul which takes place during the war.
I have found this project to be interesting so far, but I am worried about the graphic design part because don' know very much about graphic design. It would be very helpful if we could see not just the example of Snowfall, but examples from previous years's students. I am also concerned about the amount of time we are going to have for this project.
