    6th Weekly Summary

    by
    This week was fun to create but it took me longer to come up with the themes of my assignments. Throughout all the assignments, picking the right images was the most time consuming and difficult to choose from. I thoroughly enjoy anything to do with image editing though I am pretty bad it. Hopefully I Read More

    Week Six!

    by
    Week six is now done! This week was ‘design week.’ It was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed being able to continue to work with expanding my familiarity with Photoshop for my Assignment Back projects. I learned a lot about graphic design, which was also a lot of fun. It reminded me of my […]

    Ride Along Computer Cowboy

    by
    Title inspired by Neil Young’s “Computer Cowboy” (1983). One of the assignments I chose to do was Laptop Lingo by Lauren Brumfield. The description is as follows: “I know some of us (myself included) are a bit particular about the looks/cleanliness of our technology. But if that didn’t matter, and you had all of the … Continue reading "Ride Along Computer Cowboy"

    Graphic Design

    by
    When I first read the Chip Kidd piece I was reminded of my high school Humanities course and where we talked extensively about style and design, especially in regards to art. We even took a trip to the Virginia Fine Arts Museum (if you haven’t been, I highly recommend!). I quick realized what Professor Bond […]

    DesignBlitz!

    by
    This week we were asked to complete a DesignBlitz were we took pictures of different design concepts we found in our everyday lives. I decided to complete the challenge in non other than Target (where I spend way too much time 😂). It didn’t take much time to see design concepts all around. Color Minimalism/Use […]

    Thoughts on Design

    by
    After reading the book and the articles it made me pay attention to the finer details of all designs. I have always subconsciously made opinions on ads, logos, signs and paintings. Now I know it is because of colors or the underlying messages incorporated in the design. I have a new appreciation for people’s designsRead more

    week six

    by
    I swear the weeks just keep going by faster and faster! I had a lot of fun with this week. Canva was my best friend, and I had a lot of fun with the assignments. I was easily able to connect our 80’s theme to this week; I felt like I could’ve done it for each assignment I did. I started out with the minimalist movie poster that was suggested, and I feel like that was the majority of my theme for this week – minimalistic design. The three assignments I connected to the 80’s theme were the charity poster, one story four icons, and the minimalist movie poster. My favorite one out of these three was probably the minimalist movie poster, I love everything about the minimalistic style of design! My other two designs, the body image cover and the alternate book cover were also pretty simple. The body image cover was very personal to me, and I was proud of what I created, while the alternate book cover I created shortly after to kind of lighten the mood after creating something a bit more serious. My least favorite part of this week was the design blitz. I’m not sure why, it wasn’t super hard, but I think I  just prefer creating and designing my own things more than examining others, but I […]

    This week let me tap into some of my design skills. I really enjoyed the weekly creates this week. It was fun creating hypothetical posters for different events. I felt like my potter for the Mary wash hospital toy drive would be a poster that I would actually see around. The poster that I made […]
