    Assignment: Minimalist TV Poster

    by
    This assignment really makes you think about the core of the movie.  I love minimalist stuff because it usually ends up pretty artistic.  I picked Zoolander because I wanted to see what the reaction would be from an artsy twist on a comical film. I used photoshop and google images for the face and tie.  ...

    Assignment: If Movie Posters Told The Truth

    by
    I just saw The Vow with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams because of it’s supreme chick-flick attraction with great actors and an intriguing story line.  I don’t know why I had such high expectations…great movies just aren’t made any more.  I liked the plot, but the characters were underdeveloped and the writing was too cliche.  ...

    Assignment: The Big Hip Hop

    by
    This assignment is fun just because you have to match lyrics to a picture from this international event/news site.

    Assignment: Unlikely Intersections

    by
    Oh, the payne of college. I chose these two converging streets because the the intersection would seem harmless, however it foreshadows the college career of many.  When choosing a major or minor or career path even the difficulties may seem like they are just bumps in the road, but sometimes they influence an entire path ...

    I love this assignment.  I already take pictures all the time so this was just an excuse to have fun editing some images.

    Anti-hackage plugin?

    by
    After the wonderful hackage of Emre I had to delete all my plugins previously installed and do it all over.  I have akismet, suscribe to comments, and jetpack(although I haven’t enabled it fully yet) and I also installed one called NextGEN Gallery. It’s pretty sweet since my subdomain gallery-themed site was deleted.  I now have ...

    From what I have read, it all makes sense..the digital world has exponentially advanced and along with it are people taking the internet into their own hands and pouring out what they have to say and dare to create.

    Look how far I’ve come now, baby. So, my class blog is finally up and running.
