Tuesday 11-13: icons

Hello, hello!

If you're reading this, then it can only mean you have completed the "patterns" assignment; to which I say, "Yip Yip, Yip Yip, Yahoo!"

Now what I'd like you to do is to to begin listing some "icons" of your chosen culture. These are people who represent and embody your culture. In some cases, they even helped found that culture.

Every culture has its icons. For example, early punk culture had Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, Wendy O Williams, Jello Biafra, Debbie Harry and the Ramones brothers, etc etc

Nerd culture has Linus Torvalds, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Kevin Mitnick, Richard Stallman, Steve Jobs, Sergei Brin, Grace Hopper etc etc

Here is what you will need to do:

A) set up an email (or a computer file) named after yourself, plus the word "icon"  (Again, each one of you must send me either an email or a file, even if you are working in partners)

B) In the main body of the email, list at least eight icons of your culture

C) Beneath each name, list at least four aspects of your culture that these icons represent. 

D) For each aspect, write one complete sentence explaining what makes these people "representative" of your culture

Send it my way!

cheers,
Mr. L
