    Dr. Annalise Huddleston in Her Natural Environment

    by
    Annalise Huddleston returns! I’m really loving my character, I must say! It’s so much fun getting to design, write about, and just overall create someone totally fictional! She feels real, to me, in some ways already! This week, I was able to use Hero Machine to create an animated depiction of what Annalise looks like, […]

    ā€œCaliforniaā€ Alternate Book Cover

    by
    One of my design assignments from this week was to create an alternate book cover for the post-apocalyptic novel I am reading this semester! The book I chose to read was California by Edan Lepucki. I have just barely started this novel, but thanks to the upcoming spring break, I will have plenty of time to read […]

    Itā€™s A DesignBlitz!

    by
    One of my assignments for this week to create a DesignBlitz! Very similar to my PhotoBlitz from a few weeks ago, this week I was to take pictures of five different objects that illustrated five different design aspects! Check out my results below: The first picture (the top left) is of my bookcase in my […]

    A Reflection on Design

    by
    When you hear or say the word “design,” what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Is it clothing design, interior design, graphic design, etc. or something completely different? This week’s focus was on design and how to implement design in different projects! I watched two TED talks this week. One was given […]

    Week 5: We Did It Guys

    by
    Once again, we have reached the end of another week surviving The End. This week, the focus was on learning all about audio! I’ll say this. I’ve become much more comfortable with using different audio platforms such as SoundCloud and Audacity. I used to hate recording my voice and then having to listen to my […]

    Once Upon Anā€¦ Apocalypse?

    by
    As another audio assignment from the assignment bank, I completed one that incorporates Disney and the apocalypse! I was immediately drawn to this assignment due to the fact that it had to do with Disney. Who isn’t excited by that? So what did I have to do? Well, I needed to compile a recording that includes different Disney lyrics […]

    Hello?ā€¦ Anyone There?

    by
    This week, I got to experiment with a bunch of sounds and audio! I just finished up posting an audio clip of me to Frequency 2156. If you’ve never heard of this site, it’s a website which is almost its own radio show. When you first go to the page, you immediately see a map […]

    ā€œThese Are A Few of My Favoriteā€ā€¦ Sounds!

    by
    For this assignment from the assignment bank, I was to create an audio recording of four or five of my favorite sounds. This really got me thinking because I’ve never really thought about what sounds I actually like. I know what sounds I don’t like because every time I hear them I want to either pull my […]

    Introducingā€¦ Dr. Annalise Huddleston

    by
    Annalise Huddleston was born on June 11th, 1988 in Seattle, Washington. She grew up with two older brothers and one younger sister. Her mom and dad always had their hands full, that’s for sure. She loved dolls and all the toys you would think all little girls love. She had plenty of toys, but she […]

    Reflecting Upon Movies Portraying the End of the World

    by
    The first film I watched this week was a short film, La Jetée, in which a man is taken through a journey of his memories from the past and present, and is then taken to the future all while being a part of something that seems to be some type of psychological test. The main character […]

    Secret Messages in the Apocalypse

    by
    In the apocalypse, we have to communicate in code. It’s too dangerous to say everything we need to over the phone or text or anything like that because the government can see it and it will not end well by any means. That’s why I want to share two messages I have created in order […]

    Before and After the Apocalypse

    by
    So… I made it! I’m so glad to be alive. I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen. I’ll never forget the people I’ve met. It’s not over yet, though! I haven’t run out of supplies yet, so here’s hoping I make it all the way through. Wherever and whenever the end really is! BEHIND THE […]

    Living Life Through A Lens

    by
    Pictures. We take them almost everyday. This week I was tasked on completing and reading some research and information related to photography, and how to get that “picture” perfect photo. I personally have the shakiest hands ever, and when I try to take a picture I have to use both hands because if I don’t, I […]

    The Apocalypse as Told by the Alphabet

    by
    I couldn’t seem to write a comprehendible story while only using each letter of the alphabet to begin each word. This is what I did instead! Apocalyptic creatures such as aliens and zombies have taken over. By the end of the night, there will be nowhere safe to hide. Causes of the apocalypse range from […]

    Goodbye to the World She Knew

    by
    Millie had to say goodbye to her world as she knew it when this picture was taken. News reports had warned everyone of an event that was very apocalyptic-seeming. The last thing that Millie’s parents wanted was to put their and their daughter’s lives in danger. Around 7:00 this morning, Millie and her parents packed […]

    I have just finished reading two short stories based on separate apocalyptic worlds. The first story I read was Tupac Shakur and the End of the World by Sandra McDonald. If you’re intrigued, check it out here! The second story I read was There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury. If you want to read this one, you […]

    Apocalyptic Fiction and A Weekly Update

    by
    This past week, I have explored apocalyptic fiction in several different mediums. I watched an episode of a BBC Docuseries called Horizon which came out in 2004. The episode I watched showed five different possibilities of how to world, as we know it, could end. The first scenario was a massive tsunami. The second was a […]

    The Night My Life Changed Forever

    by
    My life changed in the best possible way on March 3rd, 2017. My best friends had surprised me with Panic! at the Disco concert tickets for one of their tour stops in Baltimore at the MGM Theater. They surprised me in the fall. I thought I was dreaming. One of these amazing best friends introduced me […]

    The World is Ending and Hereā€™s How Iā€™ve Prepared

    by
    The apocalypse. Everyone’s heard of it. We’ve feared it’s arrival. And now… it’s here. When I was about fourteen-years-old, I was first introduced to what apocalyptic life might be like when I watched Shaun of the Dead (2004) with a few of my family friends. Of course this movie is a comedy, and almost parody, but […]
