Visual Research Project #2

While i do think they was a good exercise to get everyone thinking, i think it was pretty obvious that the consensus in class was that for the most part generic boarder look tacky. In my opinion it is very hard to make an image that doesn't originally natural posses some type of boarder, add a border and have it not turn out looking tacky or kitschy. The single most important thing I learned from this latest Visual Research exercise is that not all boarders are lines that directly follow the outside of the image. When it was brought up that a vignette was a type of boarder it really opened my mind to other possible forms or boarder that are not so generic looking. However i do think that for the most part, at least of what i saw from my own work and the rest of the class, it is hard to ass a tasteful boarder that doesn't distract from the image.
