    Week 5

    by
    Final Project For my final project, I chose to create a story called Let’s go on a Trip. While it was not the most creative title, I thought it was a pretty creative tale. It is a story centered around a young woman named Cassie, who lives in New York City and works as an …

    Reading and Analyzing Movies This week I read Roger Ebert’s “How to Read a Movie.” In this article, Ebert talked about a few rules of thumb that are used when analyzing movie scenes. He talks about how he goes through movies and freezes the screen at random moments to look at the different aspects of …

    Reading Movies

    by
    Ebert and How to Read a Movie I found Roger Ebert’s “How to Read a Movie” quite interesting. I am a big fan of movies, but Ebert’s article had me thinking about the different techniques that people use when they make movies. Generally, I watch a movie because I liked the story the trailer told …

    Week 3

    by
    This week was all about telling a story through sound. I found the points made about audio storytelling by Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad quite interesting. I also enjoyed listening to the TED talk and Scott Lo. I especially liked the Moon Graffiti audio story. I had a lot of fun putting together the different …

    Week 2

    by
    This week was definitely more challenging for me than last week. However, I also enjoyed the assignments a little more than I did last weeks. The Vignelli Canon was actually a very interesting read for me. I have enjoyed photography for many years, but I mostly took pictures because the subject appealed to me or …

    Vignelli Canon

    by
    In The Vignelli Canon, I liked how Vignelli talked about the three different aspects of design that are most important to him. I enjoyed being able to, essentially, get into the mind and thought process behind another designer’s choices. Reading about the semantics aspect in his book helped me to think more about what I …

    Design Blitz

    by
    The four concepts I chose to include in my design blitz are color, dominance, rhythm, and proportion. One of the ideas about color that I learned this week, had to do with what different colors mean and what they can say in a picture. I learned that warm colors are not only more inviting, but they …
