 * Project 1- Image**

This is a little something I did obviously as a project assignment, but it also doubles as a little promotional piece for my band, Sleep Steady. The braille at the top says "Sleep Steady". It has become somewhat of a logo for us, and the idea behind it follows as such: text describing very unreal/abstract thoughts that is simultaneously tangible; text that one can "feel", and that can only be interpreted using a combination of the senses, exceeding that of just plain sight to read traditional text. "Dream Heavy" is part of our little slogan- //Sleep Steady, Dream Heavy. "//Sleep Steady" encourages people to get plenty of sleep not only for it's essential health benefits, but because one dreams in their sleep. Sleep a lot, dream a lot. And when you dream, "Dream Heavy" or dream big. The visuals on this particular piece are meant to display a creature one might dream up during a particular night of vivid rest. It's a One-Man-Band-Child: one set of legs with multiple torsos and heads to allow for the playing of multiple instruments at once while singing. The comic book "Pow", lightning bolts and psychedelic fire-breathing are meant to emphasize the unreal effect of the creature itself. I tried to ripple all the different images on top of the wrinkled paper to make them look like cutouts that were pasted onto the background.
