Explanation of Design Process

               The ‘Backwards theory of Evolution’ shows man progressing from apes into the man we see now and then back into the animal. This shows Poe’s thought in the quote as he says that he believes man is the same, if not worse than he was 6000 years ago. The ‘two paths’ show how in the article Poe has two sides of him. In that short story, he is leaning more towards the right, bright side instead f the usual dark gloomy hate that he normally shows. The photo of the ‘Ghost at the End of the Bed’ and ‘The Shadow’ both show how the narrator stalked the old man every so quietly in his attempt to ride the world of the ‘wretched vulture-like eye’ that haunted him. It shows the hate and angry with the darkness of the pictures. The skull relates to the mood and it helps create the dark atmosphere that Poe so cleverly displays. The skeleton melting away shows how Poe’s narrator was slowly dying inside when his conscience was weighing on him after he committed the murder. The mental breakdown of the narrator is shown by the skeleton as the skeleton is bending down thinking, melting away as the pain and regret is torturing him. It shows nearly an exact replica of what the story talked about.

                The reason we made our blog dark and black was to reflect Poe’s similar writing style. We chose the theme “Amazing.Inc” because we both decided that it reflected sort of an antique theme and allowed the viewer to further appreciate how old the stories are and when they took place. We also chose the font “Times New Roman” because it represents a classy, old type-writer style look and it develops the theme set with Poe’s older work. Most of our pictures are sketched and black and white or gray-scale as the darkness of the pictures gives the dark atmosphere which sets the tone as mysterious and scary. The sketched pictures give a scary look and put anxiety into the viewers mind before they even read a word.
