    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    If there’s one thing that I learned from reading the Vignelli Canon (of course, there are more), it’s that aesthetically pleasing things are generally balanced and set to grids, be they imaginary or otherwise. In previous graphic design classes, it was a concept I’d heard of numerous times. While I understand that this aesthetic value … Continue reading The Vignelli Canon

    Planet of the Vampires – A response

    by
    One of the things that I immediately noticed was the shifting of camera angles during dialogues. Whenever someone spoke, the camera shifted behind whomever was listening to give a clear view of them. Something as simple as that seems to work effectively because it breaks the mundanity of remaining still for too long. This dynamic camerawork, … Continue reading Planet of the Vampires – A response

    Love at first shot

    by
    They met during their junior year of college. He was shy and awkward at first, but she made him feel comfortable. With himself and with life. His anxieties consumed him at times, generally in regards to social expectations, but his girlfriend was bright and calming. “It’s okay to care about what people think, but sometimes … Continue reading Love at first shot

    Who am I?

    by
    This assignment revolved around expressing who you are in a single image. I find myself to be very complicated, so this took me a while. Most of the time actually went into trying to hone myself and accurately portray myself. As far as introductions go, I’d say this one was a fairly decent product. I … Continue reading Who am I?

    Audio in Storytelling

    by
    Truth be told, audio is an extremely crucial part of storytelling in my opinion. Why do I say that? Ambience. When I imagine someone telling a story, some concepts are better perceived when heard. For example, someone’s voice can sometimes give insight into their character through intonation, inflection and pauses while speaking. In addition to … Continue reading Audio in Storytelling

    Radio Show Ideas

    by
    A couple of ideas that I had for my radio show include: Myself, playing myself, as a host that introduces scary stories or people who’d like to tell them. Simple, but effective. I could spend a part of the week looking up stories to read and practicing before shows with groupmates. Another option might be … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

    Visual Storytelling

    by
    Using my time this week, I’ve reflected on how little I’ve actually dabbled into photography. Aside from participating in this week’s assignments, I rarely ever take photos on my own. I’ve taken the occasional selfie and I’ll gladly hop into a photo with a friend, but I can scarcely admit that I’m the mastermind behind … Continue reading Visual Storytelling

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    I may have said the same thing last week, but I truly believe this week I’ve outdone myself. I even took on a couple of extra projects for the heck of it (a visual one and another web assignment). Aside from that, I focused my readings on the comic “Last Respects” and the story by … Continue reading Week 3 Summary

    Introducing…

    by
    Victor Barethean. A man of indeterminate age (though he looks to be mid-30’s). Short, dark hair and a thick mustache. No one’s sure what his eye color is, but some reports suggest that he suffers from heterochromia: one eye is said to be green and the other… changes. At times it will appear blue-ish gray. Other … Continue reading Introducing…

    An A-Z Story

    by
    A bald crow dared eat from God’s hand in Judas’ kitchen. Likewise, making no option present, quiet rarities sit tentatively under vehicles while xylophones yell “Zebra!”   ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
