February 20, 2019

Week 6 was all about design. Going into week 6, I thought I had a really good grasp on design and felt that this week would be one of the easier ones that I encountered. However, week 6 was full of eye-opening, learning experiences for me as I quickly realized there is much more to […]

This week we again were asked to partake in a blitz, however this time a design blitz. While both the photograph and design blitz are similar in style, […]

Keep Your Music to Yourself

Using Gimp or a similar program, create a public service announcement billboard on something that really aggravates you about people, society, the world, etc. It can be serious, goofy, but not offensive. Use a 680 x 300 work space in order to mimic the space of a billboard and have fun with how your positioning,…

Stars: 4 For this assignment I had to make a wallpaper for DS106. I thought this would be a lot more difficult than it was. All I did was go on Google for a secret agent photo, save it, edit it in Over to my liking, and I was done. I chose to k...

Stars: 4 For this assignment, I had to make an advertisement using a cartoon character. I felt like using Ariel for a hair ad would be perfect. A lot of emphasis is around her hair during the movie, and everyone wants to have hair like her. I a...

Designblitz: Dominance

by @tiffmooree

| designblitz, ds106, Syndicated
February 20, 2019

This photo was yet another photo I interpreted. I felt like this one showed dominance. This is due to the fact that when you look at it, the only thing you focus on is the darkness of the sky. Your eyes don’t avert to the small huts undernea...

First things first, I absolutely love graphic design. As soon as I saw this was design week, I got so excited. I did a lot of graphic design my senior year of high school when I was taking an Advanced Design class and Photojournalism (working on the school’s yearbook). I am so ready to create…

Designblitz: Proportion

February 20, 2019

For this photo, I went outside of the normal interpretation of proportion. Normally, one would put their hands up to “lean the Tower of Pisa” or make it look like someone is jumping into a cup of coffee. For this one, I took it more in...

For my color photo I chose to use flowers. Flowers, in my opinion, have the most beautiful and present color. I had some photos on my Canon camera and chose to dig through them to find the photos for my designblitz. I have an app on my phone that ...

My Two Cents On Design

February 20, 2019

When it comes to design, I am very much an amateur. I’ve done a good amount of projects throughout the years where I’ve had to make posters or brochures. And those have turned out pretty nice. But that is just about all my experience with designing anything. I guess you could say that we all …

The Design of the World Around us (in a blitz)

by @CommTweetWithMe

February 20, 2019

This week’s reading really emphasized how design touches every aspect of our lives that we grow so blind to it and os oblivious to its all-permeating power. With this in mind, I participated in a “design blitz” this week to reinforce my understanding of fo design principles and challange me to notice and analyze the […]

This picture is from a dock through another trail I was on on Monday evening. This picture represents color in the design blitz assignment. The sunset was really beautiful that night. The oranges, yellows, purples, and pinks gave the sky a really warm feeling. It contrasts very well to the black surroundings. I was able …

February 20, 2019

Design is so important. It’s in everything we do. More importantly it pulls stories together. To learn a bit more about design I decided to read Massimo Vignelli’s “The Vignelli Cannon”. This was a read suggested to us this week but I was more than happy to dive in and invest my time in reading […]

Generate Cool Letters (3 Stars) For this assignment it asked, “Can you write your name in a unique way?” So for this assignment I decided to bring in my secret agent character and use his nickname (The Marksman) to create a cool movie title design.

Less is More

February 20, 2019

I am all about the “less is more” phenomenon. Minimalism has become very popular and I feel that this picture represents this very well int he design aspect. This is a picture of a friend’s nails that I happened to notice. Minimalism is also very expressionistic in nature. Minimalism can be achieved by using only …

Q’s of the Week/Reflection

by @biggs_hank

What makes a poster look like a poster is the size of the poster, the creativity of the poster (eye popping), is its own unique style, text is visible from a far, variances in text sizes, and the layout of the poster. What makes a book cover look like a book cover is that on …
