Culture is defined as the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners,scholarly pursuits, etc. Coming from a very cultural background…this assignment was more of a reflection/appreciation of what I have, because not everyone can say that they have a culture.   These are pictures I took this summer when I went back to visit Ethiopia after 5 years. I took a road trip ...

Everything these days have a warning label. Some make sense while others actually tell you that the product you’re about to use cause more harm than help. This is what I came up with…..

The Design Safari was by far the most fun activity. I enjoyed having a purpose of taking pictures of random object with special meaning. The tree was the most stunning and I immediately thought of the color design element. I feel that the car and the downhill street are great examples of Dominance and Proportion.

The font took a bit more creative energy but I feel ...
