design project 1 - globalization
The main photo I used for this assignment was the picture of my closet. I manipulated it by putting the map, arrows, stars background and text to show why I thought this could be used to represent globalization. Although it seems like a fairly standard and inconsequential photo of the contents of my closet, the idea that all these clothes came from all around the world show how globalization is part of our everyday lives. The fact that such an ordinary photo can represent globalization shows how permeated it is in our lives - even just in our own homes. Almost everything we own comes from a different country; looking into any room we could probably make an image similar to this tracing all the objects in it back to where it was originally made and see that it is actually from thousands of miles away.
