Memorable Rocky Here is a daily create on memorable recognition. Rocky has a facial structure that is worth recognition. He played in the movie, Rocky, it was about him and his life.
I made this poster using canva.com, which is an excellent graphic design tool. I originally was going to use a bumper sticky my project partner had made and then remembered this cool layout I had been looking forward to using for this. I also got my first commercial done pretty quickly so I had the […]
Humorous Initials For this daily create, you had to come up with words from your initials and to add a food. My initials are CLS. I came up with Cheerful Looking Strawberries.
If you were a disaster… If I were a disaster, how would you be described. I could think of no environment disaster but a torn blanket or quilt is disastrous for me. If I were a disastrous, I would be
Click here for the original assignment! For this assignment, I decided to change it up a little to fit with my radio show “Around The World: 80’s Style!” Instead of using 80’s music to make a commercial I decided to use traveling sounds to create a commercial for the show. Since members in my group …
Today I had my first run in with audacity. It went well. I used it to create an 80s commercial for my 1st audio assignment of the week. I searched through ccMixter for some music that had an 80s vibe and found a track I liked to use for the background music. Then I went […]
I have taken online classes before where group projects are required, and they have been nothing but easy. I’m hoping this time will be better! I reached out to a few people via text to see if we could form a group. I was able to find some people who wanted to be in a …
Stuck in Traffic, See that Bumper Sticker! One of the assignment this week is to create a design for our group radio show. See our bumper sticker! The bumper stick is the theme of the 80s, generation X, people born
The radio show is something I am really excited about. I have been brainstorming ideas since I heard about the project and am looking forward to actually getting started on it. My group decided we’d name our ourselves “The Breakfast Club” because we thought it fit our group in the sense that we are 4 strangers who are coming together to create something (and hopefully become friends through it). That is where I came up with the idea for my promotional poster. I took the Breakfast Club movie poster and photoshopped my group members heads on the heads of the […]
Week six has been a rough one and I was sick so it took me a bit longer to get my assignments done, but I finally did and throughout the week I explored many more of the photoshop tools. I have been using the Adobe Photoshop software for a bit now but I took this … Continue reading "What. A. Week. 6."
The reason I chose to use the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is because my older brother, born in 1987, loved TMNT. The cartoon was very popular in the 80s and in the cartoon they turtles love pizza so that is how I came up with the idea!
“- Judge: The word ‘woman’ does not appear even once in the US Constitution.– Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Nor does the word ‘freedom’, Your Honor.” This quote and image is from the movie “On the Basis of Sex.” I chose to use this image because this part of the movie is based in the mid-late 1970s. The case this portrays … Continue reading "Favorite Movie Quote"
During the week of design assignments, I chose to make a missing poster for myself. Originally, I felt weird making one for myself and I was going to make one for my dog but it made me too sad. The reason I chose to design the assignment the way I did was because I looked … Continue reading "Missing Poster"
Radio show = must have commercials I was browsing through the assignment bank and saw the assignment to make a cheesy ad for your school. Being an active member (observer)Continue readingI did it, mom
This week started solemn, where I visited my grandmother’s grave on Sunday for the anniversary of her birthday. She died back in June, and they still haven’t made the tombstone for her yet, which is frustrating, so there’s just this square hole in the ground above where her urn is buried. I found out midterms […]
I couldn’t upload photos to Instagram, since I glitched out trying to create an account there twice, but I have the pictures: It’s hard to see, but the water represents form, since it is unable to be manipulated, and always returns to it’s original shape Since there was an assignment in it, I couldn’t show […]
I thought the article was interesting, in that it went in-depth into trying to describe design overall. I’d disagree with the author’s statement, “Everything that is not made by nature is designed by someone.” Neanderthals weren’t people, and they designed tools, and birds design nests. His other insights are interesting, and I didn’t know how […]
For this assignment, we were required to make a warning label for a futuristic technology. Valve’s Portal 1 and Portal 2 were great games, and saw this as a great way to showcase the Portal Gun. The Portal Gun is a device which can create two portals which connect any two points in space. I […]
