Tutorial 2: Post-it Notes and Grocery Lists

This was a pretty easy assignment, but it was also pretty fun because you get to pretend to be someone else. For my character from the Wire I tried to make his notes as tuned into his life as possible and what I knew about him or could imagine him …

WANTED

This assignment was perfect for Herc. Marlo stole Herc’s video camera, which Herc is risking his job over.

A Day in the Life of Frank

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the perfect day, I would wake up early.

 

I would wake up my son, Ziggy.

I’d get him ready for school and take him to the bus stop. That’s his best friend Sarah.
