"Like ants eating a bone" by William Angel

2

I spotted these industrious ants making a meal from the contents of a discarded styrofoam container. I was particularly struck by how a group of them were devouring the flesh left on the end of a chicken bone.

"Like ants eating a bone." is a Chinese metaphor. It is taken to describe a situation where people try to accomplish an overwhelmingly big task by doing it bit by bit with perseverance. Or put another way: "Slow steady work on a big job."

Picture Contribution 2: Supernatural Perspectives on Psychological Disorders

This is a metaphoric illustration I am very proud of, so I am more than happy to enrich our course content with it; my post on Padlet featuring this illustration received a very encouraging comment by a fellow student that further inspired me to offer this picture as part of future coursework. My illustration features a werewolf, which is a creature that was used by ancient people to explain psychological disorders, and can be included in the section on supernatural perspectives on psychological disorders. My illustration increases the diversity of our course content in three ways: providing a metaphor for the history of psychology, featuring a racially-diverse (no exact race specified, but clearly not a white male) character, and raising awareness about how those with psychological disorders were perceived in the past and urging society to improve our treatment of them.

Typographic Metaphor Poster by Savannah Secession

1

This large scale poster deals with metaphors that exist in typography. Because the design of Knockout allowed Hoefler & Frere-Jones to experiment with what a font family can mean in contemporary type design, they created a group of fonts that did not have to strictly adhere to predetermined rules. This ideology allowed for decisions to be made on the basis of aesthetic rather than traditional typographic design methodologies.

The Day Ford on Hartzel closed its doors and removed all its cars at the end of May. It's the end of an era, I suppose. Someone's era, certainly!
