    Hang Your Art on the Daily Create Museum Wall From the person who brought us JellyCam (a now-defunct free stop-motion video package that was a snap to use) comes Artfly, and it seems designed for Daily Create. Artfly is simple (but is in beta, so be warned). You add an image and set up a […]

    Graphic design is found in more than just slick advertisements and pictures. It’s present in nearly all of the media we see daily. People care about the way products are presented to them – an idea which isn’t lost on the companies selling us those products. These companies employ basic principles of graphic design in […]

    Design Reflection

    | blog posts, Syndicated
    July 3, 2018
    There’s an underlying science to design. It’s really one of those weird gray areas (pun intended) where technique seems to blend with pure taste. You, the artist, and the seasoning which you flavor your design with is just as import as the underlying concepts. However, you need to ensure you don’t neglect design theories altogether. […]

    Here’s another assignment from the DS106 Visual Assigment bank, entitled “Create a Warning Poster”.  This is a simple assignment, but it adds a lot of value to narrative about the flame-crazed terrorist robot I’ve created and set free on humanity. Create a poster warning people of some sort of danger. It can be a danger […]

    June 29, 2018
    Art is communication. It’s a way for an artist to get the stuff that’s in their head out so the rest of the world can see it. Photographic art is a narrative process in which you’ve got to convince your audience to adopt your frame of mind, or ‘see’ what it is you’re trying to […]

    Everyone needs the most advanced DSLR to properly take pictures, right? It’s actually a myth. You can take some stunning, meaningful, and perhaps convincing photos by simply practicing a few simple techniques. Granted, having a really expensive camera is helpful, but your phone is also up to the task. First, stop. Just stop. Look at […]

    Ah, yes. It’s time for the midweek post of a sixteen week course compressed into a five week time frame.
