This document summarizes the student's approach to their rough cut project on the subject of grief. They explored 5 different approaches - liquify, cracking, glitch, burning, and polygons - to represent the 5 stages of grief through digital photo manipulation in Photoshop. They found the liquify approach to be the most successful at conveying denial. Through trial and error, they improved their digital editing skills while learning the importance of a personal connection to their subject.
