What to Say When the Picture is Blurry
The Vignelli Canon The Vignelli Canon was written as a guide to design in every shape and form. It is interesting to see how great design comes to form, even if you don’t have the talent for it. Part 1- The Intangibles Starting off with Semantics, it describes how we design whatever we have to […] -
Coding in Base DS106 is Where It’s At!
It was interesting yesterday when The Daily Create tdc1500 said to celebrate 1500 creates in some way, and my patented @iamTalkyTina Handy-Dandy Base-DS106 Secret Decoder Ring had just arrived in the post from Zazzle! It was so easy for me to test out my ring to translate 1500 into Base DS106 and get @jimgroom|@ds106radio. But […] -
Pizza is a way of life
Today’s daily create asked you to make a visual representation of the meaning of life (and we couldn’t use “42”). I’m 100% Italian on both my mother and father’s side so the meaning of life for me is food. More specifically, pizza. Just kidding- life is a lot more than pizza, but pizza is pretty great. I […] -

It’s Not 42?
When I found out the meaning of life is not 42, I soul searched my own digital images for the meaning of life (MOL for short). And I found it in the mouth of a frog! Truth be told this is one of a collection of 3 of my personal MOLs. The other two are not currently … Continue reading It’s Not 42? →

One Story / Four Icons
For this design assignment worth three stars, I created a story using symbols found in Harry Potter. For those who are not fans of the book/movie series, some of these symbols would be unrecognizable. But for those that enjoy the series, these symbols mean a lot to the viewer and convey a story! The first … Continue reading One Story / Four Icons -
Western Design Reflection
For this design reflection I observed different western themed images and have applied my newfound knowledge on designs that I learned from The Vignelli Canon and the design resource page. First of all, I am amazed at how many different aspects are taken into account when creating or looking at a design. Ranging from typical … Continue reading Western Design Reflection -
Open Culture
I really enjoyed this assignment, I spent about two hours picking a photo I could use on creativecommons.org of Scotland’s Isle of Sky, and editing it to promote “Open Culture” at the University of Edinburgh. I used Affinity Designer to manipulate and edit this photo. I love graphic design! -
Better call the fire department…
For today’s daily create we had to create a visual image to celebrate the 1500th daily create milestone! I went to google and searched “birthday cake with too many candles” and saved a picture I liked. Then uploaded the picture to paint where I added “1500” to the front of the cake. I wanted to do a […] -
Muscle Flakes
For my last assignment to round off 10 starts is to design a cereal box. I had a lot of fun making up my own cereal and creating a box. In real life it would obviously be a sleek matte black box with nutrition on the sides and fun games on the back or small … Continue reading Muscle Flakes -
American Pride
For this assignment I decided to customize my own shoes! I picked Nike Roshe’s just because I do really like the shoe and my little sister has a pair and they’re perfect. I created mine using NikeID.com on my phone. I then created what pattern and color scheme I wanted, screen shot the shoe before … Continue reading American Pride -

The Vignelli Canon Design Reflection
I found The Vignelli Cannon very interesting. In the introduction the author discusses creativity, knowledge, and his formula for design. The quote I really like that the author states is “It’s up to the brain to use the proper formula to achieve the desired result.” I believe everyone’s brains are unique in some way and their … Continue reading The Vignelli Canon Design Reflection -
