I did the tweet- along for this week on Tuesday. I think the show was called “Mildred” something. I don’t remember the exact name. The story was about a woman dealing with her daughter and her ex- husband while having a shop. It dealt with the lives of Americans and how things can become corrupt...

Out of all the content I could produce, my favorite things to make are audio assignments. I like using my voice to spooky background audio. The first on I did for ds106 radio was a lot of fun so, I thought I would create a quick one for Eagles in the Dark. I used a...

I think copyright can be very important but in some cases it can be to extreme. My favorite things that was given to look into was the Laws that Choke Creativity TED Talk. I thought it did well at defining the problem with some people´s perceptions of people´s alterations to media. That being said, I...

The reading from Massimo Vignelli was a really informative. In his reading the Vignelli Canon, the author discusses elements of design, what to do and what not to do.

This isn’t food but it’s close. This was the only thing in my room that was remotely jewelry like. I found that using the ties could make an interesting bracelet.

My design blitz started with me reading through some of the posts from each category. I thought Karen Kavett’s videos on design were really helpful in deciphering what each category meant and were the elements are usually seen. It really helped my search for photos this week. The first on I found was the color...
