After reading Roylando’s super hero story and what he generated I had to do it.  I had to answer ten questions, from what would you do if a kid was yapping at a table next to you at a Resturant,  what movie would you buy, what would you prefer to do on a Friday […]

For this assignment (worth 3 stars), we were asked to use a quote from a movie and remix it to create a completely new story line. When I was looking at assignments to do, I came across this one and it caught my eye immediately.  I saw the image of Buddy the Elf as the … Continue reading Princess Diaries Remixed

I have a good many friends who are into design. Because I grew up and still live in Richmond City, most of my friends are either students or byproducts of the art school at VCU. Even those who are not have been almost absorbed into a highly aesthetic culture. Although I have been around this culture for my entire life, it never quite made sense to me. Of course I can see something.. Read More

Dailycreate 5.30: If the internet went out tomorrow. Today’s daily create asked us to consider what would happen if the internet went out. Truly, the concept of making a new internet never even crossed my mind. In fact, it would probably be hours before I realized there even was a problem. Much of my life is spent reading books, doing homework, and sewing. Once I did realize the internet was down, however, I.. Read More

Enjoy as a child: (5.26) I was initially unsure what to do for this assignment, but it was miserably hot in Richmond on Tuesday, and all I could think about on my way to work was how my mother used to bribe us into road trips during the summer by buying us a McDonald’s ice cream cone and smashing it upside down in a kiddie cup and rolling down all the windows in..

Favorite Musician Gif. Although I have been a self-proclaimed feminist for years, I hadn’t listened the a lot of lady’s performing rock music in my life. When my boyfriend introduced me to Sleater-Kinney a few weeks back, I immediately changed my ways. These girls rock so hard and they do it entirely effortlessly. There were a band through the mid 1990’s, and didn’t break up until 2005, so there is quite a lot.. Read More

I found this picture while I was reading articles about the FIFA scandal and the major violations of human rights in Qatar. Some artist, who was sadly unaccredited where I found this picture, took the logos of international brands who support and donate money to FIFA and manipulated their logos to represent the fact that they are also supporting slave labor. The men lifting the larger and larger bars of the Adidas logo.. Read More

For today’s Daily Create I simply had to go on the Generator Blog and I scrolled down till I saw the word “superhero”. I am a huge fan of comics so I was definitely excited for this one. The link was “What Would I Look Like As A Superhero?” I had to take ten questions, … Continue reading What Would I Look Like As A Superhero? →

Coming into this week, I was feeling a little more confident in my ability to navigate and administrate my webpage. This week’s assignments, were interesting because it was an area I was interested in- the design aspect so learning and tinkering with some of the tools gave me a small taste of what it was … Continue reading Weekly Summary Numero Dos

  For this Design Assignment, worth 3 stars, we were asked to make a suspect board of a certain event.  I decided to do a classic, especially for us college and working folk.  We all want our fresh cup of … Continue reading →

I love fashion. You can use the same principles of design and apply to fashion. You can see rhtym in the way dresses are draped or by their pattern. Symmetry and balance can be seen in some of the new things that walk down the runways among many other examples. While, clothes are for a … Continue reading Fashion Fun

For my Design Blitz, I found a few interesting designs for different reasons. This first picture can be looked at for typography as for the second one but for different reasons, but also balance.  Typography for the first one because … Continue reading →

The Vignelli Cannon: The Article was very interesting and gave me new information about design that I had no idea about, I have never been a creative person, or a person that is good at design or any artsy stuff, Vignelli talks about the three different aspects of design that are important to him. The […]

Here is my second weekly evaluation. I need to say good things about all my work or my professor will make my other class harder on me (I AM KIDDING!!).  I really enjoyed this week and the concept of design I feel like some of the projects I worked on especially the bumper sticker and … Continue reading Weekly Evaluation # Dos →

Week two is officially over. Oh my god, things got down to the wire. I was a little scared I wasn’t going to finish everything this week. But I did it! You can check out my work below: [Regular Blog Posts] Vignelli Canon Reflection —> Click Here Design Blitz —> Click Here [Daily Create Posts] 5/25/15 —> […]

I feel you girl, I hate when that happens.

  What movie is this?! I feel like I’m on a game show. For this assignment (worth two stars), we had to take four symbols that would represent the movie and whoever happens to stumble upon this post would have to guess what movie it is from. This goes back on Vignelli’s principles in where … Continue reading What movie is this?!

For this Design Assignment , I decided to recreate the Umw logo, and change our name, so I came up with two different designs, that were both created on FlamingText. This website allowed me to play with fonts and different animation styles. I personally like the flaming logo more, because it attracts the eye more. […]

Okay I went to the bathroom and came back and my cookies were gone. Just “POOF!” no more cookies… All that was left was some crumbs. What kind of savage just eat cookies and do not clean up after themselves. I am more angry about the mess left than the cookies, anyways this cookie bandit … Continue reading Who Stole it..? →

Mako + Raleigh = Love   I don’t talk about love much. It’s a weird sort of topic for me. You could even say embarrassing. I’m not really good at expressing emotion so that’s probably the issue (;﹏;) In fact, it’s kind of weird I actually decided to do this assignment in the first place. The […]

  Tina Belcher: 13 year old student at Wagstaff and part time “Friend- Fiction” writer has suffered a traumatic event- her work has been stolen. Tina’s journals where all of her work is stored, was found to be missing last Friday evening. 5/22/15: Tina Belcher comes home to her upstairs residence at Bob’s Burgers restaurant … Continue reading Missing: Tina’s Friend Fiction

The above photo was taken at Lowes where I work, I though this picture from the garden center would be a perfect representation of color. As you can see from the picture there is about 12 different colors to see here, maybe even more. Color can come in many different forms, this picture has some […]

This scavenger was as fun as last week’s scavenger because I had to search for pictures that illustrated at least four out of the ten concepts, which are color, typography, metaphors/symbols, minimalism & use of space, form/function/message, balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance and unity.  I went to a store and started looking at random stuff. Two … Continue reading Design Blitz →

  Real Talk, She reminded me of a Scooby Doo villain.

This week’s assignments were good and bad. I found that I came to a road block on coming up with ideas for the design assignments. I believe that some are not as good as I’d like them to be because of this. Although, as the saying goes, you are your worst critic. I loved doing … Continue reading Week 2 Summary →

For this assignment called Cartoon You (worth 3 and a half stars), we had to render a cartoon version of ourselves. This gave me the chance to make myself (and my dogs) superheros because, to be honest I do not lead an interesting life. So let me introduce you to my alter-ego: FIREBLOOD! ____________________________________________________________________________________ As … Continue reading I’m actually a superhero

For this week working with design, I was timid at first. I thought this would be very challenging and not so fun for me. It turned out being a blast and being something that is of interest to me. I … Continue reading →

For this Design Assignment, worth 2 stars, it asks us to build a license plate that describes you.  I also decided to put some meaning into it with the whole idea in general.  In Virginia, one of the motto’s we … Continue reading →
