So it’s time to do… something. What was that again? Oh yeah, I need to “step my game up”. So I’ve been told. Multiple times. Yay. Anywho, it’s time for […]

I worked very hard on this weeks assignments and I believe I did well on them. The GIFs gave me a lot of trouble because I have never done a GIF before. There was a lot of downloading, editing, frustration, and so on; but I finally finished them. I enjoyed the Design Assignments the most […]

“In 2 or more frames write a contradicting thought.” I did the words STAY and GO as my contradicting thought.

“Create an animated GIF of a sports moment to be played over and over again. It doesn’t matter what sport, but make sure its a cool moment in that sport, which would belong on a highlight reel.” This is one of the five moments that the USA Woman’s Soccer team scored in the World Cup […]

Let’s talk about visual design, using some stuff I found around the house. Yeah, I know we were supposed to out into the world and whatnot, but the outside world […]

“Take a picture of your Dog, or any animal that you have. Then upload the picture to a any desired editor. Edit the picture to make it something unique and interesting.” I chose a picture of my parent’s cat! Her name is Sasha and she’s a little brat. I drew her holding a lollipop hoping […]

Week two was not as bad as the first week. I believe I completed all the assignments very well. Some of them took more time then others. The DesignBlitz took me the whole week and gave me the most trouble because I wanted to let the whole week past before I decided on my four […]

“Spend some time and find at least four places to visit that are near you. It is amazing all the things that we miss and take for granted near our own homes. Make a picture collage of the places you would be interested in visiting and then add text to the picture. Between the inspiring […]

 I decorated the spirit rock in celebration of USA winning the FIFA Womans World Cup! I’m so proud of our USA’s woman’s team beating Japan 5-2 that I had to put it on UMW’s rock! (P.S.: the drawing on the right is a soccer ball (not a cookie).)

“Create a tattoo that can represent your personality type. Tell us about your tattooo, and what does it means to you. Each Color is unique, and can depict different mood. Use different effects and colors to represent the mood of your tattoo.” This tattoo is my favorite one that I’ve come up with. My tattoo […]

This weeks assignments were interesting and easy for the most part. The GIF assignments were the hardest, only because I hadn’t done GIF’s before and that slowed the process down. The design aspect of the assignments really added another layer when I was thinking about how to display or draw the pictures I posted. The … Continue reading Weekly Summary #2 →

I decided to draw a tv and Xbox as well as a keyboard and mouse. I enjoy playing video games and thought that would e a good thing to draw for showing what i like.

Here, we were to create a sports GIF worthy of a highlight reel. I’m a pretty big Ravens fan, so I knew which moment to choose: the leg interception. Here’s […]

  What better signature symbol then a juicy red print of your lips! Have always liked lips and anything with kiss prints. I even have this as a tattoo. This was created with lipstick, paper and a camera.

Doodle an ink drawing of odds and ends…… did this and uploaded it to my flickr, then shared it here with the world.  

This GIF gives the optical illusion of 3d, although it is not perfect it is what they used in the 1800’s. Which is quite impressive if we are still using 3d today. It was quite simple to make, there is a website that allows you to choose an image and adjust it to get the … Continue reading Stereo GIF →

“What odds and ends give you pleasure? Make an ink drawing.” Some “odds and ends” that I like are furniture and wood! My fiance and I love doing DIY (do it yourself) projects and we are always looking for new things to create. The photo below is an ink (pen) drawing of a couch, chair, […]

I created a GIF for this amazing soccer goal that i found a video of. The making of the GIF was fairly difficult, because it was my first time working with them as well as getting all the software to get the videos. After i figured it out though it went more smoothly until i … Continue reading Awesome Soccer Goal →

Week 1 – Summary – ds106 Thoughts: Well week one definitely felt like a boot camp. In starting this course I experienced many frustrations and difficulties. I quickly came to realize I am social media challenged and at this point probably trying to bridge some generational gap, as I don’t do Facebook, have never tweeted, … Continue reading Week 1 – Summary – ds106 →

  Picture from the photo scavenger hunt…… I did not care too much for this assignment. I did it in my living room, as that is where I was doing my homework that evening. I tried to get creative with the assignment. My favorite picture is the shadow of a wine glass, followed by my … Continue reading Photo Safari/Reflection →

“As he says, “Creativity needs the support of knowledge to be able to perform at its best.”Vignelli did most of his work in the pre-Internet era, when graphic design meant ink on paper, so some of the information is not so relevant to our online environment, but the principles still stand” (http://ds106.jenpolack.com/week-2its-all-by-design/). Massimo Vignelli definitely […]

The CPSC106 class did a project called DesignBlitz. We had to take photos of four concepts and post them on our blog. My four concepts were typography, balance, proportion, and dominance. The following are my pictures and descriptions of their concepts. (My initial post link: http://www.christinerubel.com/uncategorized/designblitz/ )  This picture represents typography. If you notice the letters, they are […]

The first photo I believe to be typography, the image is a map of a fictional town. When viewed the writing in the top left corner pops out, why? because of type of style its written in as well as its size. The writing is what draws the viewer to the image. The Second image is … Continue reading Design Blitz →
