The “Vogue Challenge”
For The “Vogue Challenge,” I edited a photo I took and added the word “Vogue” to the top of it. It’s suppose to look like the cover of a Vogue magazine. To do this, I took my photo into photoshop and created a text layer with the word Vogue in Times New Roman font. OnceContinue reading "The “Vogue Challenge”" -
A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing
For this assignment, I had to combine the logo of rivals. I decided to do Popeyes Chicken and Chick-fil-a. I began by getting a picture of both of their logos. Then, the photos were imported into Adobe Illustrator. I removed the P from Popeye’s logo and replaced it with the C of Chick-fil-a’s. -
DesignBlitz

Weekly Summary
This week’s assignments were fun to do. There was not much, but I really enjoyed the design assignments I chose to do and the daily creates were nice as always. The daily creates I participated in are below: I did 4 design assignments: Laptop Lingo, Contradiction Creation, The “Vogue Challenge”, and Cartoon You. The posts... -
Cartoon You
by @eendipdesign assignments, designassignments, DesignAssignments369, digital storytelling, Syndicated, Week 6October 1, 2021This is for the Cartoon You design assignment. It asks you to remake yourself (or someone you know and love) into a cartoon character. You can draw on a piece of paper, on a tablet, take a photo and use software to convert, or use online programs to create a cartoon version of your character.... -
The “Vogue Challenge”
by @eendipdesign assignments, designassignments, DesignAssignments2617, digital storytelling, Syndicated, Week 6October 1, 2021This 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. The assignment suggests using Times New Roman for the font, however, because I used Canva, there was no option for that. The most... -
Contradiction Creation
by @eendip#DesignAssignments2075, design assignments, designassignments, digital storytelling, Syndicated, Week 6October 1, 2021I did the Contradiction Creation design assignment where you create some graphics where the motivational message contradicts that of the background mood/theme. Pretty much like an anti-motivational poster. I used Canva to make this. I used one of the photos they allow people to use for free, and added text to make it look like... -
Laptop Lingo
by @eendipdesign assignments, designassignments, DesignAssignments1534, digital storytelling, Syndicated, Week 6October 1, 2021This is my spin on the Laptop Lingo design assignment. The goal was to create my own laptop cover. I used the recommended site to complete this, which was decalgirl.com to make it. I went to the website, clicked ‘”create” in the top bar of the site, chose my laptop, and went to work. It... -
Weekly Summary: 6
This week was focused on design. I have taken several art classes in the past where we talk about different design principles, so this topic was relatively familiar to me. Overall, this week wasn’t too challenging, nothing compared to last week. The week started off by reviewing some resources about design and writing a reflection.… Continue reading Weekly Summary: 6 -
DesignBlitz
Minimalism This an advertisement for an event called Renew Gathering over fall break. I thought this was a good example of minimalism because it is simple black text on white paper. It outlines some basic information about the event. In addition, it has a simple outlined drawing at the top to give it some character… Continue reading DesignBlitz -
Happy Lil Tree
This assignment was super fun and unique. The task was to only use the letters of a word to create an image that depicted the word. I chose the word “happy” and made it into a tree, or at least attempted to. I chose this combination as inspiration from Bob Ross, “let’s build some happy… Continue reading Happy Lil Tree -
Oktoberfest!
For this assignment, I was supposed to make an event poster. With Oktoberfest coming up, I thought it was only appropriate to advertise just that. Oktoberfest is a celebration of German culture on the first of October. It is a festival filled with German related cultural activities and food. I created a poster using Instagram… Continue reading Oktoberfest! -
Have You Seen Sparrow?
For this assignment, I was to create a missing persons poster. I chose the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean. As soon as I saw this assignment, Jack Sparrow was the first character that popped into mind. He would be the perfect candidate for a missing/wanted persons add. Jack Sparrow is… Continue reading Have You Seen Sparrow? -
Rafiki Rhetoric
For this design assignment, the task was to take a favorite movie quote and overlay it with a depiction of part of the movie. One of my all time favorite movies is the Lion King. Rafiki is a baboon featured in the movie who acts as a quirky character that gives wisdom throughout the movie.… Continue reading Rafiki Rhetoric -
Define Design
Everything is design. From the poster you walk passed in the hallway to the back of cereal box in your pantry, everything around us that tells some sort of information is carefully and precisely designed to portray a specific message in a very specific way. Design can be simple or complex, symmetrical or asymmetrical, colored… Continue reading Define Design -
Week 6 Summary
I have never seen design like I have this week it is a lot of fun viewing everything from a different perspective. I have been wanting to get into design more and maybe start trying my own digital drawing or graphic design. Below are my daily creates for the week: All of my work for the week can be found […] -
Design Blitz
Due to covid, I have to quarantine so I had to take photos of things around my house. There are great designs anywhere though! First lets start with a design that is minimalistic. Above are my skis. As you can see the design is pretty minimal, but the spacing and wording is well placed making it look pretty good. The […] -
My Invitation to You
I am always down to go backpacking. I have always wanted to go into the Canadian Rockies and explore a bit. I have really only hiked in Colorado and all over the East Coast. I drove up to Mt Washington in NH which is considered a place with some gnarly weather. The highest winds recorded there was over 200 mph! […] -
Motivation
This poster I made speaks to me as I have taken a strange route to get to where I am at. I was always into sports and more physical tolling things growing up and I think that has helped me stay mentally strong. One thing I was never involved in until college was computers. When I first started programming in […] -
A Little About Me
For this assignment I had to make a business card that resembles myself and the kind of things I love to do. As you can tell, I love to hike, ski, write software, and game. Those are definitely my four favorite things in the world to do. This is my first season back skiing since I broke my leg last […] -
My Castle
This assignment was a lot of fun because there is a new game I have been playing called Valheim. It is basically like Minecraft where you can build, survive, and craft things. Above is the picture of the castle I made. It took quite a bit of materials and is not completely done yet, but as of right now it […]
