For today’s design assignment, I chose to create a VHS design for a movie released after 2005. The idea was to make it look like it was manufactured in the 80’s. I’m still not sure I hit the 80s mark, but I don’t think it looks modern either. I chose the 2009 movie, Moon. IContinue reading "Moon VHS"

I love correcting records, so this ds106 design assignment felt like it was right up my alley. For this 3 1/2 star assignment I needed to pick out some photos, personal or found photos, to use to create a “rad” collage for fictional album art. After digging through the cobwebs of my phone’s camera gallery,Continue reading "Bark This Way"

by Thomas Pulsifer Using Alan’s 4-star prompt, I’ve designed my very own weird book cover. What’s more bizarre than a rat in a helmet getting cheese in outer space? This is actually the cover of a real book I’ve written! It’s a children’s book, so it isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s somethingContinue reading "A Bizarre Book Cover"

I did a random assignment again and this one was a throwback. These posters kind of remind me of that Adult Swim bumper trend on TikTok. Same vibes. I thought about what I should put, or get rather. I just kept saying got, got, got, until it hit me. “Got to go?” It isn’t very… Continue reading Got to go…?

The Nightmare Before Christmas has been on my mind since the end of August and my favorite character is Oogie Boogie so I’ll use his famous quote (and then go watch the movie for the millionth time). I also really love Jack so I just decided to do one for both of them. I also …

Choose one of your favorite movie quotes and insert the quote over an image from the movie you chose. https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/favorite-movie-quote/ For this assignment, I actually used a TV show, Gilmore Girls, because I quote it a lot.

Create some sort of graphic. Design the overall graphic to convey some sort of feeling or theme, but then have text saying something completely contradictory to the theme or feeling. Sort of like one of those old anti-motivational posters, but with more design than a black box with a white frame. https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/contradiction-creation/ I had fun […]

I attempted the Honest Video Game Covers Assignments! I really had to think about what game I felt had one of the most deceptive titles. So, I chose to change the Animal Crossing game.

October 1, 2021

For my final design assignment, I made a propaganda poster for DS106! I have always loved the aesthetic of propaganda posters, mostly because regardless of the topic or intent, they are so heavy-handed in their rhetoric that they can often be unintentionally comical. I decided to also tie this into the course theme by having […]

For my second design assignment, I created a business card for myself. This embodied our course theme in a way as well, perhaps inherently by the nature of the medium. Regardless, I wanted this card to be an engaging representation of me and my vocations. Here is the result: To create this, I worked in […]

This is my submission for the “Vogue Challenge” assignment where you create your own Vogue cover. I looked up examples of Vogue covers and used them to create mine to be similar.

Based on Jameson Whipple’s 4.5 star prompt to redesign a company’s logo to resemble that of their main competitor, I decided to reinterpret Nintendo‘s logo in the style of SEGA.
