Today’s daily create got a little fancy with some Shakespeare: Pick some song lyrics you love and speak the lines as if you were in a Shakespeare’s play. Let that song sound like Hamlet! I chose Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” but I only picked a small portion of the lyrics. I’m gonna pop some tags Only got […]

How well do you feel you completed the requirements of the week’s assignments? I feel that I have met all of the requirements for this week. I worked my hardest to help with the radio show. I completed two assignments that added up to be 5 stars. I wish my bumpers and commercials had turned out […]

A reflection upon your contribution to the radio show and to your assessment of the group process: How did your group go about choosing a theme and organizing itself? We used Canvas discussion boards in order to communicate. People we throwing out ideas but I believe it was Maryna who came up with the idea […]

The Work Itself The Story Behind the Story Since Halloween is just around the corner and all of the haunted houses are opening up I thought it would be relevant to put in the show. I tried to make it sound as scary as possible without actually frightening people. I think haunted houses and haunted […]

So for these past couple of weeks we have been working on a radio show. One of the requirements was to create a bumper and this is what I came up with! The Work Itself The Story Behind the Story I decided to pick upbeat music for the radio bumper. Obviously with a name like […]

Make it 800% Slower-3.5 Music producer Nick Pittsinger slowed Bieber’s “U Smile” down 800% and the result was ethereal magic. Find a song to experiment with and slow it down to the point where it becomes an amazing piece of ambient music. If doing this with Audacity or any other non-linear digital editor, you’ll likely […]

For today’s daily create the prompt is: What is one bad habit you have? Depict that habit in a positive way in a short video. So I have this habit of eating really bad junk food but then I’ll pair my junk food, such as Cheetos with a healthy sandwich and asparagus. Everything balances out, […]

Today’s Daily Create asked us to: Find a favorite quote or poem. Pull one word out of it. Create a new poem with just that word. I chose to use a poem from one of the greatest writers of all time, William Shakespeare and the poem I chose from his collection was “Shall I Compare Thee […]

How well do you feel you completed the requirements of the week’s assignments? This week it took me quite awhile to the assignments. I spent about 20 hours this week on the assignments alone but I think all of my hard work paid off! I’m happy with all of projects that I designed this week. […]

Massimo Vignelli gave some incredibly useful tips in his small book about design. Although he did write this in a pre-Internet age many of his tips about design still hold true today. As I was reading Vignelli’s book, you can tell that he takes his profession quite seriously and I am not sure if I have […]

What the Font-4 Stars A common exercise in design school, take typographical elements (perhaps even the words of a story) and bring them to life. I remembered seeing typographic portraits done by people in my high school and always wondered how they did it. This assignment allowed me to gain the knowledge on how to […]

Rhythm: “Family Unplugged” ad I thought this was a good example of the design element rhythm because there is the same font found all the way down the page which brings this busy ad together and creates more unity. With so many images and color, the ad is kind of all over the place so […]
