I wrote the following found poem about the passage “Lather and Nothing Else”, by Hernando Téllez. This short story is placed during a civil war in Colombia, where a rebel barber decides whether or not to kill the antagonist “Torres”, who is a captain of the military, while giving him a shave. A noticeable conflict in the story is the internal conflict that the protagonist, the rebel barber, has between his two conflicting desires: to kill Torres or just to treat him like a regular customer. In my poem, I showed how the two desires in the barber’s head conflicted against each other by making the font and color of the two different thoughts contrast. I also referred to the angel versus the devil by making the “evil” thoughts red and the “right” thoughts blue.
During this design semester, I experienced lots of mistakes and learned from them. I also improved by watching previous games. Even though in the end, we didn’t finish, we learned about pneumatic and scissors. We wanted to use hydraulics and make a claw machine, but we didn’t plan our format and didn’t have enough time in the end. Next time, my partner and I plan on planning our work ahead of time and making sure our mechanism worked. I have learned a lot this quarter in design.
