And that’s a wrap. I can’t believe another week is done! Time flies! I’m still really enjoying this class and everything I am learning. I have to say the Audio week is still my favorite week, but design has been interesting! I’m a little nervous about this upcoming weeks and it’s assignments but I will […]

Topography! I love this style of writing. Because of the font, the ‘setting’ is obvious. It’s old and it’s European. My family is very Irish so this type of elegant is found everywhere in my home. Also, I’d like to draw attention to the detail in the uppercased letter. It gives the piece so much […]

Once again, I’m amazed. From photography to audio to now design, I knew there was a lot of thought put into a work of art, but I’m again amazed to see just how much is being done. When I started reading Canon I was baffled out the fact that design even has an outline.. Semantic, […]

Due to a high demand and very low supply I wasn’t able to access the book to read and reflect.

I know what you may be thinking, trees that are black and white? Did this girl even try? I’ll be the first to admit that this process was very simple. I found my tree and I made it black and white. However, this has a much deeper meaning to me. Without going into extensive I-expose-everything-about-me detail, […]

Well hot diggity dog… I don’t know about you but I’d buy these shoes in an instant. I definitely turned a whole lot of nothing into a whole lot of something. My inspiration to these custom shoes is a combination between the Disney movies I just watched, and Miley Cyrus. I went online to find […]

One thing about me is that I LOVE mazes and puzzles. So this assignment was perfect! I didn’t want a plain old maze so I spiced it up be adding (and embarrassing) one of my close friends! So complete the maze to help Sydney get to the pizza! To make this maze I went online […]

For this assignment I had to make a missing person’s poster. I was going to keep the theme of Harambe going but seeing that he’s dead and not missing, that might’ve been a little too ridiculous. Thus my replacement was Kayne West. To make this glorious poster, I took a missing person poster off of […]

Warning: NSFW. This one was a little more tricky because I wanted to add more voices and play with more off the features Audacity has to offer. I’m very sorry this Commercial was highly inappropriate but in the moment it seemed like a really good (but bad) idea.

Another very simple assignment. I used my friend to record our interaction. I was plain old regular me, and she was the one and only, TSwizzle (Taylor Swift). I feel like Taylor Swift also pertains a lot to the internet just because of the active use of social media has really put her and her […]

  This one was pretty simple. I don’t casually have a monkey around to make a monkey noise that I can use for something. So I used my roommate’s talented voice to show that BOOM. I now have a super bomb sound effect of a monkey.

What a process. So this is the first time I have EVER done anything with audio. And… I LOVE IT. I surprisingly love audio much more than I do visual. Audacity was tough to use but it was MUCH easier than photoshop. Plus I feel like you can tell more of a story and do […]

This. Was. Amazing. Where do I begin? The passion and feeling in the actor’s voices. The difference in recording voices. The space “music” and sounds. I thought this was really well done it made it clear that the setting was space and a very intense environment. And to think they portrayed this through a few […]

In my opinion, the people who claim the radio is “outdated” and  “old” and “boring” are completely wrong. It’s one of my favorite forms of storytelling. Nothing is better than getting in my car for a long road trip and turning RadioLab on. The different topics and descriptions, as well as the sound effects, bring […]

If you have looked at my blog before you’ll notice something about me… I really like memes. So why not dedicate a radio show to them? It could be titled “Memes: How Did They Start And Where Are they now?” and the whole show would be going into details how the events that created legends […]

That was me this week. Part of me enjoyed learning more about photography, something I have never spent time doing nor was talented at. There’s so much going on “behind the scenes” when it comes to taking a great photo. The knowledge I have now have in reference to the process behind taking that breathtaking […]

Examples of excellent photography:   Selection Contrast Perspective (my obvious favorite) Depth Balance Moment Lighting Foreground/ Background (another obvious favorite)

I always thought photography was so interesting. When Instagram first came out I remember trying to be “arsty” but I was never good at it. If you were to open my camera roll today it would look insanely different compared to my camera roll a few years ago. Now a days, I take more pictures […]

Here’s my code and the start time I had. I decided to spend my 20 minutes walking down UMW’s campus and found some interesting things. This is my special tree. UMW has tons of beautiful trees, but this one is very close to my heart. Not only is the tree itself extraordinary and massive, but […]

So, how about a collaboration between Fifty Shades Of Grey and The Grey? I recently saw a post with the most recent Fifty Shade’s Of Grey movie trailer. In the trailer it attempted to be dark and dramatic, so I thought, “Self, let’s make 50 Shades Of Grey a few shades darker.” Thus, enter Liam Neeson […]

2 and a half stars? More like 5… This deserves an Academy Award. It only took me long enough to make. This was my first time ever using photoshop ever and boy oh boy was it a process. For my movie scene recreation I decided to use this famous scene from my favorite movie, The […]
