16.A Picture of Morocco:


I choose this picture because it represents the city I love the most in Morocco, Agadir. 

15.Signifier 2:

I took this picture because I think this signifier is a normal one and I didn't go deeper for this one but the way I interpret it is different. I don't see it as just a sign that indicates an exit that we will take in case of emergency but I see it also as something people apply in their lives. When they face problems they always take the emergency exit in other words people tend to go for the easy way or run from their problems. When I saw this sign again I related it to myself because I used to run from my problems.

14.Signifier 1


I really believe that this signifier changed the way I see things now not just from this course but since I understood its meaning. Love is what this signifier means and for me love takes many forms, family love, hobby love, friend love etc., and each one is different from the other maybe in its intensity.



13.Branded!:


I think that this boot brand "UGG" is really popular especially here at Al Akhawayn University. You may have noticed that the majority of girls wear them including me so I am branded.

12.Goal:






   My first goal would be to get a good and well paid job in my field ‘communication’. This would help me be independent and gather money.

My second goal is to live my life to the fullest, I want to experience new things such as extreme sports, food and change where I live, how I dress and how I think.

My third goal would be to enjoy every moment of my youth while I still can. I want to travel and explore the world. I know I will not have a lot of opportunities to do that but at least I will try to visit all the countries I am curious about.

11.Mission Statement:






I want to change the way I live.

10.Figure/Ground Relationship:


I know my drawing is bad but this picture represent  the Gestalt Principle of Figure/Ground Relationship. we can notice two things in this picture either two faces or a vase. This example is very famous and it is the only one that I could think of and that I could found.

9.Closure:


This photo illustrate an example of the Gestalt principle of Closure we can easily connect the dashes and form a heart.

8.Uniform Connectedness:


This is the best example I could find of uniform connectedness we can see that in a tv remote buttons are grouped and shaped the same when it comes to functions that are related.

7.Proximity:




This image illustrates the Gestalt principle of Proximity. Elements that are close together are perceived to be more related than elements that are far apart. we can group 'Don't' with 'The' and 'Stop' with 'Party'.

6.Backlighting:


I think we can notice that there is some backlighting in this picture and it seperates the egg from the background a litle bit. I tried many times with different light sources but this photo is the best I could do.
