Karen's Home

Karen's first page opened with a blue backround and a very eye catching picture. The picture was taken from the car of a 7-11 after dark. The ground was very wet which matched well with the blue backround. In Karen's first paragraph she introduced herself, which set the audience as strangers. She described what it was like moving from Monsey to Queens. The photo gave a gloomy effect while the text had the exact opposite effect. I thought a picture of 7-11 was a great way to open the project because 7-11 is something which connects to both Karen's old home and her new home. Her next page was 'Welcome.' The picture was of an open door with a sign which said 'Tamar and Karen', and the door was slightly open where you were able to see a leg inside. This picture had a very myterious effect on the page and made you want to go inside and see what was there. The next page was the couch. This page was great because you really got a sense of what the couch is used for. There was a picture of Karen and Tamar standing on their heads on the couch, a picture of the view from the couch and another picture of Karen and a friend on the couch. Her text matched well to the photos because she described how everything is done on this couch.
