I selected Brandon Cosby’s remix project because it is both simple and classy. The combination of famous quotes and manipulated images from one of the greatest writer of all times Shakespeare created a beautiful project.
I love its simplicity in the sense that it is just a classic piece of text illustrated by powerful images such as a dagger. On the other hand, it is kind of sophisticated in the sense that the images were manipulated using the photo manipulation techniques.
The other aspect of this project that I really like is the fact that he selected three of the most famous Shakespeare stories: Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth. Then, his straight forward explanation of his techniques and presentation of the original sources helps to understand his motivations behind this simple but beautiful remix project.
The only thing I would change or make different is to emphasize one of the greatest quote from Shakespeare: “To be, or not to be: that is the question.”
Overall, this is a beautiful project and it definitely inspired me to remake my remix project and copy some of his ideas and techniques and apply them to the works of the classical philosophers: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
