Hey, friends! For my designblitz I just looked around my room and thought about the different aspects of design since I don’t leave my house and I don’t have anything really design oriented to find outside.

For my first assignment this week, I chose the Tell A Tale On A Tapestry assignment because I thought it would be interesting to use ancient pictures and typical designs to convey a story that is current. I am sad to say that one of my cats, Rollie, passed away this past weekend and I…

When I started reading the original Brain Pickings post for this week, I quickly realized how easy it would be to fall down many different rabbit holes. Actually, the first time I was trying to read through it, I ended up on some article about Freud and his work. This was interesting to me (being…

I started thinking about radio shows at the beginning of the week, but I wanted to write about my thoughts after I had more firsthand experience with audio and radio components.

February 22, 2021

I’m not gonna lie y’all, this week was a struggle! I have never worked with audio editing or Audacity before, so I was really intimidated by the workload for this week. I also ended up getting behind on my schoolwork, so that made doing creative work a little more difficult, but I think I’m actually…

February 22, 2021

I have to admit that I’m not a super huge fan of listening to stories. Whether it’s an audiobook, a podcast, or a radio drama/story like “Moon Graffiti,” I have a really hard time actually listening to what’s going on. I get distracted very easily and then end up thinking of completely different things in…

When I was little, I used to watch The Sound of Music all the time. The image of Maria spinning in the field with the mountains in the background is burned into my brain. I decided to use this as inspiration for my take on the Colorize It assignment. The assignment tasks you with colorizing…

Everyone who knows me knows I love cats. I really do. I always get cat-themed gifts and people send me cat pictures, and I take pictures of my own cats constantly. That’s why when I found the Your Love for Your Pet assignment, I was sold. The task was to create a collage of pictures…

I know very very little about spies. That whole secret agent genre went right over my head growing up, BUT I did watch Phineas & Ferb, Get Smart, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith with my brother, so that’s how I got here. This assignment, Who Said What, asks you to pick a photo of a…

To be quite honest, I have very very little experience with photography. I mean I have an iPhone and use Snapchat on the daily, but I think we all know that that means nothing when considering the artistic side of a camera. My family was late to the technology game, so we used a lot…
