I used Christina Hendricks picture of steps from her photo safari as one of my inspiration works. I just really love this picture because the steps look marble, and I like to imagine they lead to a different world. It captures urban beauty, and on top of that, the lighting and contrast are fantastic.

For one of my inspiration pieces I chose to use a What’s the Error? assignment. My computer crashed while I was originally trying to write this post, so I lost the original link to the inspire page, but I did upload it. Anyways… I chose this, unconventional piece of work to be part of my … Continue reading A Challenge →

I chose Stephanie’s Eye Selfie to use as one of my inspirational pieces. You literally can’t go wrong with an eye picture because they’re all so expressive and  capture your unique color(s) and print, like a fingerprint. It seems like the longer you stare at it, the more influenced you are by it’s emotion, and you … Continue reading Eyes Are Windows to the Soul →

I’ve broken out of my shell! Commenting has always been intimidating because you really put yourself out there, and your opinions on display.

  My other daily create I’ve completed is the different sides of yourself Daily Create. My friend is an aspiring photographer, so one snow day we were bored so she gave me a mo hawk and did a photo shoot. The other one, the same friend and I were bored so we went to the … Continue reading Schizophrenic… Sorta →

  So for the highlight of my week, I chose to do something that daily lights up my day. Coffee. I wanted to sketch a bunch of gift cards but I couldn’t decide how to creatively do it. So I decided on coffee. I used Paint to create this….. unique cup of coffee. I used … Continue reading Coffee Break →

So. Even though we had three Daily Creates and Ten Comments, and Radio Show Progress, my week was still pretty packed. We had our RADIO SHOW!! we called ours Dinner at 6:00 o’clock We had last minute updating that had to happen, and it didn’t happen till, like 11:00 so that’s why I’m a little later … Continue reading Weekly Summary →

We had a bumpy road to get to this radio show completed. It tried on many faces and had went through lots of plot transformations. I wrote basically the entire dialogue and plot, Amanda made the sound effects, Patrick did a majority of the editing, and everyone else contributed their voices, radio bumpers, and commercials. … Continue reading Dinner at 6:00 o’clock: Radio Show →

  So the Daily Create was to take an image and make it teal and orange for an action shot. I made this dog a super hero because it made  sense with the action scene. And the way he’s holding the dog.

  The Daily Create was to take a picture of your foot on something. I thought immediately about putting my foot on someones head. It reminded me of someone conquering their foe, which is funny because I’m like 5”2′ and weigh 110Ib soaking wet, and the person in this picture is 6”2′ Ibs. So yeah, irony.

  Needles absolutely terrify me. I’ve never donated blood, and whenever they need to draw blood for testing, my stomach drops, my heart races, I start seeing stars and black spots and I practically hyperventilate. I’ll be watching, say Dexter for example. I bury My head in my boyfriends shoulder when he’s putting the needle … Continue reading Heart Racing… →

I found this weeks commenting to be very interesting

So. Big news, my group decided to change our idea completely. Mainly because we have a time-traveling character, and the original idea we just couldn’t make work. So we’re now doing my original idea…… a Clue! radio show!! It’s based off of Clue the movie,with all of our characters being blackmailed etc, etc. Obviously we … Continue reading Mid-Week Radio Show Progress →

I started my week off with a healthy dose of Audio Assignments. I started by working on Leave It To Who? in lieu of my character Delilah Valentine. It took me forever to find a free download for the theme music, but I did eventually find it. I wouldn’t recommend the site however, cause it gave a … Continue reading Week 6 Summary →

I found this picture I uploaded a year or two ago. The picture on the left is of me in 8th grade and the one on the right is of me in my Senior year of high school. I’m using this as my Daily Create because of the irony. The Daily Create was to take a … Continue reading Before and After →

I used free sound to find all of my sounds, and Audacity to edit them all together. I took an original ringtone and embellished it with intense booming sound effects.  

I chose a most wanted poster with a mirror in the place the picture usually is placed. Not only do I not want to spoil the plot, I mainly did it so you see yourself, implying that you’d be next. I used pixlr, and got a most wanted poster template off of Google, and then … Continue reading Radio Show Poster

We formed our group (Most Wanted) an early Wednesday morning. We communicated using Twitter, and somewhat email. We talked all Thursday about meeting and decided on Saturday at UMW campus at like, 12:30. Unfortunately the day and time didn’t match up with my schedule, so I was debriefed later that day. The plot, I gathered, … Continue reading Show Progress

I used freesound for all of my music and effects. I started with a base, the creepy music. From there, I started seeing which words took me to which sounds and built up from there. I decided to go with a stalker scene (plus I love the show Stalkers). I’ve been exploring more with Audacity, … Continue reading Creep

here‘s one another and another number 4 number 5 number 6 number 7 number 8 number 9 FINAL COMMENT

So I did the coffee stain art daily create and loved it! I looked at the circular mark and thought, it’d be great to insert some irony. So I made coffee (which I had no problems doing) and made my mark. I attempted to create a birds eye view of a coffee mug out of … Continue reading Coffee Stain Art

I used Audacity and found the Leave it to Beaver theme song, and then searched freesound.com for some creepy music to infuse into it.I did this because, up until now, I’ve made Delilah seem picture perfect. But I used dark music because there’s a dark side Delilah’s been carrying with her since she left her … Continue reading Leave It To Who?

  My line of Multi-use gloves will guarantee you one less stress in life. Ever have that moment of pure frustration when you realize your glove has been put on the wrong hand? Tired of it feeling off because the padding is backwards? Or worse, the design?! Well my line is custom designed for my … Continue reading Multi-way Gloves

This week was much better, and much more relaxed for me than last wee. I’d say my favorite part of the week was doing the Design Assignments. But we’ll get to that later. I started backwards this week, educating myself about Copyrights. The issue about copyrights runs so much deeper than plagiarism, and this little … Continue reading Week 5 Already?!

Color; this department store manipulated our society’s take on color to organize their store. You can clearly tell where the girls section is by the overwhelming pink and white. And in the boys section, you’ll find tons of blues and browns, plus a lovely picture of a rugged mountainside. While we seem to detest stereotypes, … Continue reading Design Blitz

  I did today’s Daily Create, playing with your food. I took to the Sharpie and and drew little cartoon faces on the fruit. Because I can.

The thing I noticed while watching Blade Runner, is most of the scenes capture a singular person. The space is causing different lighting, and causing your eye to focus on the character in the frame. The helicopter scenes would have the camera facing down, onto the towering buildings and the streets below, giving you the … Continue reading Blade Runner.

  So I chose the creative hand assignment for my Daily Create. I took this picture with my friends forever ago, after most of us painted our nails. I really like the design it made, so I thought it’d be perfect for this TDC.

  The daily create I chose was superpowers. I chose the superpower of the brain because in reality, nobody would expect me to have it. I don’t particularly want a super brain either, but I could easily disguise it and use the element of surprise. Plus I love irony

  I chose to do the license challenge and dedicate it to my character. This is her drivers license, I used a free photoshop and found my photos off of Google.
