To be honest this has been one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken.

We finally finished our Radio show, what an experience. I got to meet some of my classmates, and create something. The hardest part was bringing everyone together despite the fact that everyone has different schedules. My skit had to do with “Video Games Before The Internet”. It was a pretty easy subject to talk about, the … Continue reading Radio Show →

This week progress on our radio show has been slow, but we are on the right track with a planned meet up Sunday at 10am.

I had fun with this assignment as well today, and I am finding it a little easier each time to do these assignments. Plus who doesn’t like the old school Arnold movies right? I found the perfect GIF to use for this assignment, and it even has a little bit of humor to it.

I had fun today creating my brand, and found some very useful websites in doing so. I picked this assignment because I thought it would be awesome to create one. It wasn’t that difficult, and had several options to choose from. It has been a learning experience every time I get on here.

After Reading the Vignelli Cannon it has helped to shape my Idea of what it takes to create for a large audience. The idea of discipline meets creativeness, the rules one might create or follow to produce timeless art. It’s a good read. #designthoughts #ds106 http://www.vignelli.com/canon.pdf
