Reflection - Visual(Visualization)
1. Compare the ways in which the final version of your design is more effective (or, perhaps, less effective) than your earlier draft. Make sure to consider purpose, audience, argument, evidence, and language conventions.
The initial draft of the visualization was vague and representational. The visualization was supposed to be non-representational and an image which combined and linked each and every artifact used in the research topic. Hence, the final draft of the visualization took a lot of time. The final draft uses the image of a clock to show the time relationship between the two parallel universes. This additional image of the clock raises several questions about the beginning of time, the end of time, the relation of time in different universes, the definition of time when thinking about several universes and alternate reality.
2. Explain how your design uses more than words to achieve your purposes. Consider layout, design, headers, images, fonts, color and other graphic elements.
The visualization does not use any words at all. It uses the image of the frozen galaxy to portray the exact shape of the universe. Also, it shows the grandeur and beauty of the universes. It’s clear and distinct boundary and its resemblance to a sheet of membrane helps me to portray the universe in the best possible manner as it portrays the universe according to the M-theory. Clock, the instruments we use to measure time, is the best way to show that the topic I am researching is a theory of time and strongly relates to it. The clock has been super-imposed over the image of two parallel galaxies.
3. Describe the processes you have used effectively in composing the final draft that you believe are worth repeating when you do another project. Consider planning, collaboration with peers, using library resources, revision techniques, editing techniques, and the timing of your drafts.
I used Adobe Photoshop to make my visualization. This proved especially helpful because it gave me the ability to create any kind of visualization. I first browsed the internet for the image of the closest looking cosmological object to a universe. Hence, I decided to choose the frozen galaxy for this purpose. I then created two copies of the image and rotated them by ninety degrees so that these two galaxies were parallel to each other representing two parallel universes. After this, I superimposed them. Then for the final draft, I tried to relate these two universes through time. Hence, I superimposed the image of a clock over the previous image.
