    Design Blitz

    by
    I found the design blitz to be difficult because it was hard for me to find already made designs that inhabited these different design concepts (color, typography, minimalism, etc.). However, all of the designs I found ended up being posters on campus, so here is what I found and why each one is representative of […]

    Design Thoughts

    by
    After reading The Vignelli Cannon by Massimo Vignelli, I learned that design is like communicating. The viewer’s understanding of the meaning or end goal of the design is of most importance because if the audience does not understand the design, then all else fails and nothing else matters. Therefore, design is carefully thought out and […]

    DS106 Radio

    by
    Listening to the ds106 radio this week has been great. This has really shown me the unique and important art of audio storytelling. It has also shown me how dialogue can be elevated just by adding other produced works and audio clips to transport yourself into the action. This is definitely eye opening for me […]

    I am excited for this radio show project. It seems really interesting and something way out of my comfort zone. A really cool idea for the radio show would be to create a narrative of something that happened to you in present day, and then recreate it as if it happened back in the 80s. […]

    80s Photo Techniques

    by
    For looking at photo techniques, I chose to use the article 1980s Music and Pop Culture Photography. Below is one of the photos from the article. Right off the bat, I could identify contrast because it was a black and white photo, and that therefore made somethings stand out more than others like the hat, […]

    Photo Reflection

    by
    My photo taking skills have always been pretty much the same. Currently, I do not take a lot of photos, and the ones I do take are of either the occasional nice scenery that I see outside or of my dog “Sushi.” I do not have a particular approach to taking photos other than to […]
