One of my inspirations is a poetry reading on DNA by July Laszakovits!

The three radio shows I listened to were  The MaNOIRpulators (our show),Dead Silence, and The Steadfast Sleuths. For each show, the one … Continue reading Radio Shows for Days

So here is a break down of all that I did … Continue reading Radio Show Week 1 of 2, down!

It all started Monday Evening when I went to read the requirements for this week. Sheer panic overcame me when I saw the words “group project”. Usually, for many students group projects come with a negative connotation. I sat there looking blankly at the screen until I remembered that I knew some people in the … Continue reading Progress!

4.5 Stars The assignment I chose was to make a poster for the search of Professor Groom using a famous media.

When reading Vignelli’s book on design, one thing that really stood out to me was his idea that the artwork should speak for itself.  Thus, the piece should not need any explanation because it would leave the person more confused than just the admiration of the art itself. “[if] no one understands the result, or … Continue reading Designelli

The … Continue reading Blade Runner and Noir

I thought the peace was … Continue reading Design Week Dailies

For this week’s DesignBlitz assignment, I carried around my handy-dandy iPhone and took pictures of things I thought fit the description of design.
