The extra credit assignment for the Romeo and Juliet unit is one of the assignments that I am most proud of. I took a memorable scene from the play and made it into a Lego set, then designed a box for it. I probably could have used a real picture, but it would have taken me forever to search through the ridiculous amount of Lego’s sitting in my room, so I just used the computer program Lego Digital designer. Which ended up being just as painstakingly slow. Sure, the bricks were nice and organized but I could only place one brick at a time, there weren’t any shortcuts to speed that up. In the end, it looked close enough to what I envisioned the actual scene looked like when I was reading, only in Lego.
Once I finally finished building the set and taking a picture of it, I got to practice some of the things I learned in my digital design class, which is another reason why I enjoyed this assignment so much. I built the box design around the picture using a computer program called Adobe Fireworks. That took a bit of time but I was able to work at a much faster pace. I also got to share some of the imagery that the play gave me as I read. I sat at the computer and worked for good amount of time, doing something I enjoy. I am proud of the effort and time I put into this assignment.
