Project Statement
I chose the quote “Design is as much a matter of finding problems as it is solving them” -Bryan Lawson. This is what inspired the project to take a route of problem solving. My peer mentor, Whitney Baxter, showed an interest in minimalism and narrative, so I wanted to entwine those two into the final product. I made the ASCII art piece and incorporated my quote into it. The process of getting to the art includes several puzzles within a series of zip folders.

Reflection
I honestly wish I could redo this project and make an entire program or game to do a series of puzzles like this to get rid of the need to unzip folders like this. I would also make the puzzles relate to a narrative a bit more. I still liked the outcome of the project, and the process of devising the individual puzzles was interesting and required a lot of research that was enjoyable.
