    Dream VaCay -3 stars

    by
    I just had to do this assignment when I saw it! I have always wanted to go to Ireland, mostly because I am mostly Irish as far as my heritage. Also I know the landscape all over is amazing and even though it rains a lot during certain times of the year (summer for the […]

    The last two weeks have been cray for me on a personal note as well as school. Lets see, my mom had knee surgery the Tuesday before last so I have been taking care of here and running here to and from the store and doctors appointments. I have been sick since Monday of this […]

    Trapped!

    by
    Here is my Chaplin Foley challenge. I used only my voice (which I don’t have much of one since i’m sick) to make sounds I thought suited my section from 2:01-2:30.This wasn’t that challenging because I took the easy way out and watched the video on one side of my screen while on the other […]

    Haunted Remix

    by
    I chose this 4 star assignment to do because it is the Halloween time of year so it felt right to do something inspired by Halloween. In the mix of helping my friends move into their new apartment, we had a whole bunch of people and we were playing scary ringtones, so I thought of […]

    Five Songs in One

    by
    I love music and when I was looking through what assignments I could do I came across one called music tag. This one was very challenging because I had to take 5 songs and combine part on them with a connecting word. First, I thought of some songs that would overlap and I looked up […]

    What a Week 6

    by
    Who doesn’t like a Safari? Especially when your goal is to take pictures! The approach I took to this design safari was looking at all the examples and thinking in the back of my head where I have seen these in my everyday life. I thought I would take an angle in this assignment that […]

    Lets go on a Safari

    by
    The design techniques I chose to hunt down and capture were: Typography, Color, Symbols, and Minimalism. Typography is basically using different fonts to appeal and get certain messages across. While at the stat fair of VA with my mom I was walking around thinking about examples of this. I figured this would be a great […]

    What Song?

    by
    I picked this design assignment because I love music. I picked one of my favorite songs that is by a female country singer (hint). Even though I don’t think I am that good at drawing, I tried my best and since it is one object that describes the song, I picked the most prevalent thing. […]

    Geek Tattoo

    by
    I knew I had to do this design assignment when I saw that it was about creating a tattoo. I love tattoos and I have one of my own so far. What made this even better is when I saw we had to tie in what we’ve learned about design this week and I tied […]

    Rainbow Fish!

    by
    My favorite childhood book wasn’t the average one. I fell in love with the Rainbow Fish series. My mom and dad would read them to me until I learned how to read and then they had to sit through me reading it to them! I had drawn a picture of a new design, and then […]

    ______ On Board!

    by
    Mostly everyone has seen the classic Baby on Board car bumper/windshield sticker. Here is an example:  As soon as I saw the description: Design a Bumper Sticker, I wasn’t sure of what to do. Randomly in my head came an image of the baby on board sign that I see all the time because I […]

    A Whole New World

    by
    This assignment I choose because it hits a little close to home, not the assignment itself but the place I chose to represent that I have never gone before. If you can’t tell by the picture I chose Thailand. Even though it was way before I was born, my father was stationed there during the […]

    We Want You!

    by
    When I think of WWII propaganda, I immediately think of the Uncle Sam’s “I want you” for recruiting soldiers. So of course when I saw this in the redesigning posters post on week 6, I thought of that right away and had it planned out what I wanted to do. I used the picsart app […]

    Guess the Movie?!

    by
    Reducing a movie into 4 icons is fun! I had a movie in mind as soon as I saw the assignment on the week 6 blog, so I knew I had to do it! I used my picsart app again to copy and paste the icons in somewhat of an order, although the order doesn’t […]

    by
    This just seemed really fun to do at first glance! Carry around a figurine or stuffed animal and document the day together. It was a lot of fun and gave me extra practice on my bettering photography techniques! I probably took way too many pictures, but it was a lot of fun! First me and […]

    Be a Better Photographer!

    by
    I have always loved photography since I was little, but I never learned about the specifics, I just took the pictures in a way I felt did the subject justice. This week involved a ton of photography and I loved it! I focused on being pickier with not only the subjects, but also the angles […]

    Unlikely Intersection (2 1/2 stars)

    by
    This was such a good idea when I saw it…..not when it was time to execute it! I figured with as many funny roads I have around where I live, such as Beaverdamn, Cuckoo’s nest, Pottysville, etc. That I would have fun with this, however being that I live in such a rural area…they didn’t […]

    Apophenia (3 stars)

    by
    This one was tricky…no doubt! Once I found the stuff and made the first two objects the brainstorming started happening and I created a lot! All of what I did I tried to keep simple and use the exact same things that I used in all the others which was a challenge but it made […]

    PhotoBlitz- fun for all ages

    by
    This assignment took a lot of focus and creativity when you looked at all the things you wanted to try and do in the 20 minutes! It wasn’t hard for me to pick my 5 best photos because a lot of the others just weren’t right even though I was trying some of the better […]
