The design bitz made me really look at my surroundings. For color, I had chosen a wreath that was still up from the holidays. The red stands out from the rest of the plain colors. For typography, I had actually had to do some of that for a class a few years ago. The teacher … Continue reading Design Blitz →

This daily create challenges you to make some form of jewelry or clothing with food. I took a taco bowl and made a crown. Two candy canes made up the earrings. Last was a candy wand that my daughter held. She liked posing for the picture and thought it...

This design assignment was something I used to do on a weekly basis. I just did not want to over do it on the graphics.

Her shop … Continue reading Promotional Flyer- 2 Stars →

This assignment was to make your own theme song. I thought about using the opening to Angel of Death by Slayer and a choir singing, but then thought not. I found somethings that aren’t as aggressive to put together. Theme song

This assignment was to whistle a song to see if anyone can guess it. This audio was fun to do because I always get song stuck in my head. This was fun to do.

Had to do sound effects to tell a story. My Character is a shop owner that gets stalked by someone who wants to harm her. This is a soundbite for a scene in the book that I have been trying to write.  

I listened to the Touch of Evil openings. When I am supposed to pay attention to sounds of anything really, I like to not look at what I am supposed to concentrate on. In listening to the two openings, the first one you can tell what is going on. The sounds of the different music, … Continue reading Think about audio storytelling →

In this visual assignment, I had to take two pictures and blend them together. Both pictures are downtown Fredericksburg. I thought this was fun.

I liked this movie. This capture, I got because it was one where they were having a conversation in the car. The driver seems to be concentrating on what he is doing with a little bit of paying attention to the converstation. The continual lighting changes from the street lights, gave it a realistic appeal. … Continue reading He Walked by Night →

This movie was interesting to me. I did not find it to hold my attention with the story line, but the visual concepts made me think.

But I will say that this has been an interesting and eye opening experience. I liked reading then … Continue reading Week Two →
