This Tuesday we presented our second hack. I mainly struggled with two things when it came to developing this hack. First, I had a really hard time figuring out which board game was best to convey the idea because I actually never played chutes and ladders as a child. I thought of all the board games I knew, and none of them had the correct set up for the upward mobility I was trying to convey. I was in Target in the board game section, and I noticed chutes and ladders, and that it was the only board game that wasn’t like $25. It literally had the perfect set up, so I bought it and didn’t need to make physical changes to the game board. Designing the cards was very simple to do, and I did it using Canva. However, printing the cards in color was almost an epic fail. I tried on two different computers and neither of them had the software that T&I made their tutorial with. After playing around with a lot of settings and pressing a lot of buttons, I sent it to print in color. And then the printer told me I didn’t have enough declining balance, so I had to stop again and reload it. Luckily, the printer I chose also had a backlog and hadn’t printed anything since the night before at 10 PM. So it printed hundreds of pages before finally printing my puny four pages in color. 

My last artist statement finally uploaded to Dr. Sample’s site, but my flogs still won’t appear as of Feb. 21st.
