Managed to squeeze in 4 daily creates this week - 1. Take a photo of a reflection. This reflection always catches my eye when I am at my house, because the coffee table is aligned almost perfectly with the large windows in our family room 2.  Describe how your body feels in a circle of ...

Did three daily creates this week - 1. Feb. 28: If you were an animal, what would it be? Record yourself making that animal sound. I would be a cat I think, a really friendly one, because I like to snuggle up on warm blankets and practically purr if someone rubs my back.   2. ...

Feb. 22: Your name backwards   Feb. 24: A picture that has your favorite color in it: the sky, which was a beautiful blue, mixed with the white clouds and of course the red of my horse’s back – blue is my favorite color, but I like blue, white and red together! Feb. 25: What ...

Sunday: Tattoo. This is a picture of my sister’s friend’s tattoo, it is elegant and certainly serves as a constant reminder. Monday: Food being eaten or served in an unconventional way. My breakfast muffin martini! Tuesday: A toy in action. The thing I love about animals (especially cats!) is that ANYTHING can be turned into ...

For my final design assignment, I chose to do the Minimalist TV Poster. I thought a long time about which movie to do; I had really wanted to do an older movie, but I couldn’t think of any (that I’d seen, at least) that had a simple enough iconic image that I could use for ...

DS106 Propaganda Poster: I was scanning the Design Assignments bank looking for my next assignment, and when I saw this one I got reeeeeeally excited. I love old propaganda posters from World War II era, so the DS106 Propaganda Poster assignment was practically made for me. Huge thanks to the guy who submitted it!! So ...

Ariat is a really common and popular brand of horse and rider equipment, and their brand is really well-known. If you see this design on a pair of boots or a shirt - You know you’ve got some good quality stuff there. So since it’s such a recognizable image (at least to horse people!) I ...

In class on Wednesday, we were asked to get together in groups to create a postcard from an imaginary character. We chose Mulan from the Disney movie, selecting the scene in which she is abandoned in the snowy mountains by her commander, who just discovered that she’s a girl. Between two other classmates and myself, ...

De Vil Designs is there for you! This is my take on the Bad Guy Business Card assignment. For my villain I chose Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. This really was so much fun. I’m really getting the hang of GIMP and so I was able to properly manipulate multiple layers, cut out the ...

Did my first design assignment and decided to jump in feet first with the Really Reality TV assignment. So here’s my TV show: Malibu: the Interventions   Description: At Malibu Mornings, doctors apply a wide variety of therapeutic modalities to assist in uncovering the underlying trauma of each individual, especially if that trauma has to ...

After I finished this I realized that I actually already had over 10 stars, but oh well, here it is. I got a little overexcited I guess! I wanted to do this one because I’ve always loved patching together words using different letters. I had fun wandering around my house with my sister (I am ...

Monday: Take a photo of something upside down that is not usually seen that way. I had a lot of fun with this one, I racked my brains all day to come up with something unusual. I finally turned over the table and chairs in my apartment (much to the amusement of my suitemate sitting ...

Woo, I am on a roll with these assignments! This time I chose the troll quote assignment, in which you choose an image of a well-known person, choose another well-known quote, and attribute the quote to someone else entirely. You can see the assignment here. I started out by looking for quotes. I love the ...

This was a fun assignment! Though I might argue that fat cats make EVERYTHING better. I went back to the Flickr creative commons (we are becoming fast friends) to find a famous painting. I found this one of actress Sarah Bernhardt from the late 1800s by French realist painter Jules Bastien-Lepage. I really wanted to ...

Chuggin’ along on my visual assignments, here is my second one: the Color Splash. I was a little uncertain as to how I was going to do this until a classmate pointed out that it could be done in Piknik during class – thanks to j-rabbit.info for the tutorial! It was really really easy to ...

Today’s daily create was to photograph a place in your house where you often lose things. I try to be very organized and rarely actually misplace my stuff…but when I do lose something it’s usually in my room. I don’t have a roommate this semester so I pushed the two beds together; this also means ...

I am so excited to get started on these assignments! I started looking through a few and just could hardly wait to start. Unfortunately I have a big paper due on Thursday, so the fun ones will have to wait until this weekend. For now, I kicked off the assignment by choosing the Album Cover ...

Today’s daily create assignment was to take a picture of something upside down that is not normally seen that way. I knew I wanted to do more than take a picture of something and turn it upside down, so I tried to think of what to photograph. My favorite subjects – animals – weren’t going ...

So for last week, I did three daily creates. The first I did last Sunday the 29th, when the assignment was to video yourself talking about the day’s weather and give the day a rating. That was a fun one, because I got to show off the cool deer antlers I found. The next one ...

I did a Daily Create on Wednesday in the midst of my site being held captive by hackers, and one today as well, so I am going to discuss both in one post. Wednesday’s assignment was to take a photo with a silhouette; naturally my first pick for subject was my horse! I had to ...

Had to go in and learn a little more about the inside of my blog – meaning I had to go into cpanel and delete a bunch of stuff that may have been contaminated by the hacker – but yay … Continue reading →
