We were supposed to create a radio show poster. For my radio show we are  going on different adventures and incorporating our characters in each place. The Lady Traveliers will be traveling through America, TUNE IN!

I was having a really rough day so I decided to take a trip from LA all the way to Paris… because WHY NOT?!#tdc150 pic.twitter.com/ZbQ0o2FCpW — Maria Rivas (@marsbars610) February 25, 2016 #Ariel #and #i #dancing #through #life #tdc1506 @d...

I had a blast creating this assignment, I am incorporating my character by again using her “ex” boyfriend. She is saying to him she is over it and never wanted to sing about it because she didn’t want him to think she still liked her. Good luck trying to guess the song – its really … Continue reading "Can’t Get It Out Of My Head"

*For the assignment I decided to take a country song and sort of tie it into my southern belle. She is singing this song to her old bf to remember all the good memories they had together. I chose the song remember when by Alan Jackson and got the Selena Gomez the heart wants what … Continue reading "Dramatic Reading Remix"

*This assignment immediately caught my eye. I decided to mash up my favorite song (at the moment) and then the most impressive speech. So I chose MLK, I have a dream speech. I had to listen to both recordings a couple times to make sure the mashing up went together. Surprisingly enough I really liked … Continue reading "Remix A Song With Some Speech"

I am in a group with Sophia Therriault and Kelly Hendricks. While we don’t exactly know what we want to do for our radio show, we have started developing ideas. The ideas that are being thrown around are being a traveling caravan and we could talk about old western celebrities. Also talking about different western … Continue reading "Week 1 for Radio Show"

This week was all about design, I found this week to be really interesting. It is easier for me to relate to design because in a way we are with it all the time. I started the week with the Assignment Banks. There I did most wanted and got to experiment a little with photos and text. … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

In the western titles, I saw a consistency in large typography. Which makes sense because you want your movie title to be the most seen to the eye. There is a lot of color fading in poster and some of them are even black and white. All the photos have a olden look to it. … Continue reading "Examples of Design"

This picture represents typography and the flow they create. I love this picture because I was playing scrabble with my family, and we put all this together to spell out our names. To me, this photo represents balance, the arrows gives the up & down balance. This picture represents dominance, the building on top of … Continue reading ""

Vignelli starts off by giving the reader an insight to design and how he uses new techniques to challenge himself. Which is why he created this book, so others could challenge themselves when talking about design. He goes right into the 3 aspects he believes are the most important: Semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics. For me, … Continue reading "Vignelli"

A tattoo is a big deal in life, and the choosing process is also hard. When I was younger I wanted to get a tattoo badly, and so when I turned 18 I went for it. While I loved it at the time sometimes I look back and wonder why I really did get it. … Continue reading "Tattoos 4 Life"

This is the maze I created, I swear there is a way out. I wanted to do something really confusing but once stared at for a while it would be easy. I like the way it came out, I decided to just go for it and draw it out as much as i can. This … Continue reading "Maze it up"

WOW I never would’ve thought my friend Anna I would be on the cover of XXI. I think they confused us for Baby and Lil Wayne. But man oh man do we look good. For this project I went to face-in-hole and picked a funny magazine photo. I wanted to turn the picture black and … Continue reading "On the cover"

WANTED CLICK ON THE LINK FOR PHOTO *For this assignment I looked up “killers of the old west” and came across a guy who seemed really interesting. I don’t really have much to work with because I don’t have fancy websites to create the real look of a wanted poster. So I created a plain … Continue reading "Most Wanted"

For week number 5 we had to create all audio assignments, this week was really hard for me in general. I am just terrible with audio stuff and was really frustrating for me. My daily creates consisted of either drawing or putting a face in someone. I really liked the ones I picked an had … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

A movie would be nothing without sound, most of us don’t realize how big of a difference a movie would make without sound. Not only just the actual language but the intensive sounds it goes along with it. Ira Glass suggest the antidote which follows one another, so one way to incorporate sound is by … Continue reading "Audio Storytelling"

*For this bumper assignment we had to create our own radio station. I named mine cowgirl digital storyteller, and I incorporated old western guitar melody in the background. I think its important to incorporate music so listeners don’t get tired of your voice, and they have a nice melody to listen to when you’re talking. … Continue reading "Bumper"

So for my radio show I was thinking of incorporating a bunch of different western girls and maybe each talking about their experiences in the rodeo. Girls are mostly seen as weak or “can’t handle the pressure.” So what I could do is get a bunch of ladies and talk about their experiences wether they … Continue reading "Radio Show Ideas"

This Soundcloud audio is about people going to space or the moon. When I first listened to the podcast, I didn’t now what to expect. It started out really dramatic, and scary, the people were trying to land and you the effects of them going on and off created the suspense effect. Then the two … Continue reading "Moon Graffiti"

*This assignment bank was created as if someone was walking through a graveyard. Here are the sounds I chose to make it sound super spooky! Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/user-72233031/spooky-sounds

*For my story I had to incorporate my western belle. So what I did was an alarm clock to have her be waken up, then she went on her horse to her boyfriends house. Was happy to see him so she started kissing him, but then laughed because in the back of her mind she … Continue reading "Sound Effect Story"

*For this Assignment Bank we had to quickly talk about our interests for 30 seconds. It was really hard to think on the spot what I had to say. But overall it was a cool idea! I incorporated a picture of Liam Hemsworth..because he’s my favorite https://soundcloud.com/user-72233031/celebrity-speed-dating    

Week four was ok, I kind of felt indifferent about it. I liked how it was visual (because I like working with that), but some of the assignments I wasn’t a big fan of. The daily creates were not that hard, and this time because I was on top of everything, I didn’t have to … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

I chose to watch stagecoach, because lets be honest…i’m really broke and cannot afford anything anymore. The movie was a lot about traveling, and a lot of landscapes are shown in this movie. It wasn’t my favorite movie, but it also was okay, I really enjoyed all the landscapes shots because I am a nature … Continue reading "Stagecoach"

In the past, I was never that big into photography, but I do enjoy taking pictures when I visit places and of me and my friends. But I took a photography class in high school which was really fun. But I never worried about the lighting or that stuff, and never owned a fancy camera. … Continue reading "Photo Reflection"

Today was the best day ever, yeehaw! This little lady is not normally one to have a man by her side. I strongly believe in not needing a man, but today I met the guy that I might spend the rest of my life with. As I was walking down to my house I bumped … Continue reading "Make My Day"
