Coming into this week, I was feeling a little more confident in my ability to navigate and administrate my webpage. This week’s assignments, were interesting because it was an area I was interested in- the design aspect so learning and tinkering with some of the tools gave me a small taste of what it was … Continue reading Weekly Summary Numero Dos

I love fashion. You can use the same principles of design and apply to fashion. You can see rhtym in the way dresses are draped or by their pattern. Symmetry and balance can be seen in some of the new things that walk down the runways among many other examples. While, clothes are for a … Continue reading Fashion Fun

I feel you girl, I hate when that happens.

  What movie is this?! I feel like I’m on a game show. For this assignment (worth two stars), we had to take four symbols that would represent the movie and whoever happens to stumble upon this post would have to guess what movie it is from. This goes back on Vignelli’s principles in where … Continue reading What movie is this?!

For this assignment called Cartoon You (worth 3 and a half stars), we had to render a cartoon version of ourselves. This gave me the chance to make myself (and my dogs) superheros because, to be honest I do not lead an interesting life. So let me introduce you to my alter-ego: FIREBLOOD! ____________________________________________________________________________________ As … Continue reading I’m actually a superhero

While, pictures can capture the attention, words can convey the message. That is the main take away I got from doing this assignment. For this assignment ( worth four stars), we were required to design a poster that illustrates a line from our favorite song. This was hard because I’m one of those people who … Continue reading I am feeling a bit lyrical today

                  Ah yes, Gonzo. So important, yet so under appreciated. I think the Muppet’s and Sesame Street, among many other shows are a staple to most millennials childhood. This is probably why, doing this assignment (worth 3 and a half stars) sparked interest in me- I grew … Continue reading Gonzo the Great.

Another week, another scavenger hunt, for this assignment we had to take four pictures of various objects that reflect the concepts of design- typography, color, rhythm, proportion, dominance, metaphors/symbols, form/function/message, and the use of space/minimalism. This blitz/scavenger hunt occurred in two places- a little dinky room in my house I like to call my “studio” … Continue reading Design Blitz

What would I do if there was no Internet? Hide in a safe place because the world is probably in apocalyptic mode. Yes, I’d move to a barren place, where no one in their right mind would go…perhaps the Australian Outback? No but in all seriousness, I think in the extreme situation where the internet … Continue reading Daily Create- 5/30/15

Being someone who is interested in Graphic Design, Vignelli’s Canon was an eye-opener and a great source for those who have a penchant for Graphic Design (Like myself) to read. Vignelli starts off by laying down three key aspects of design, those being Semantic, Syntactic, and Pragmatic. Like our previous unit of visual storytelling, the … Continue reading Vignelli Reflection

You how the old saying goes: A memory that’s so vivid, it felt like it happened just the other day. A shy girl walking into a new place, a huge building. Exchanging nervous smiles and waves, to potential friends. Looking around like a lost child looking for their mother, Trying to find out where the … Continue reading Daily Create- 5/28/15

“Oh…it’s you again.” Nice to see you. Actually, I was kidding- I hate you.You make things difficult for not only me, but everyone. You make things difficult for not only me, but everyone.

Over the week, our class has learned about not only how to tinker with our blog but about using visuals of any kind- such as mobile photos or drawn photos as a medium to use in media. While, in one of my previous posts I am not a celebrated world photographer, this week has been … Continue reading Reflection on the visual media material

Ever been home alone and you just get the impulse to belt out all the songs you like? Well, I do. Sometimes, I do it a little too much and a bit loud. The other day I was walking out to my car after I belted out the main verses from the Lion King soundtrack … Continue reading Spubble fun

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This overused quote rings true when it comes to how one could describe the importance of visual storytelling. When one looks at a picture many thoughts and ideas come over there mind. They wonder what the person is feeling, the history/ background of the picture, and the how … Continue reading My thoughts on Visual Storytelling

I am no Annie Leibowitz, nor a Dorthea Lange. I’m an amateur. But we all got to start somewhere right? Of course, I and many others don’t have the resources or equipment to take “professional” pictures you see in the ads on Times Square. But that doesn’t stop me from taking plenty of photos of … Continue reading Photoreflection

Talk about being a little kid in a candy shop when it came to customizing my blog. Navigating around the customization tools on WordPress was easy. Although when it came to themes I was so indecisive about what to choose! The other fun part about customizing my blog was adding images or backgrounds to give … Continue reading Customizing the Blog

If there was an award (or participation badge) for being the biggest fan of Disney, I’d probably get it. As you can see, there’s a frying pan in the image above, for those of you who don’t know what movie that is from, it is from Tangled. But first, let me tell you the story of … Continue reading Putting Disney into Focus

Actually it’s not a big mystery (But how cool would it be if it was?!) For this assignment (3 stars worth), I’m showing a look into my little, old bag! I wonder if you can tell a lot about a person by the items you find in their purse, backpack, or satchel? Maybe! My purse … Continue reading What’s in this gal’s bag?! The World’s biggest mystery revealed!

Technology and I- we don’t get along, yes it seems with the slightest touch of my finger to any sort of technology- a computer to even something as simple as a calculator, something goes berzerk! So I proceeded with extreme caution and attention to detail when I was setting up everything to make sure nothing … Continue reading Setting up Camp (In other words, setting up my domain and social media sites)

The weather is amazing out! I took the liberty to help my mom outside today, in addition to getting some much-needed Vitamin B considering the fact I look like Caspar the Friendly ghost’s long lost sister. Also, I got a new cactus- I named it George (Yes, I am one of those people who name … Continue reading Daily Create- 5/24/15

Splish Splash I was taking a bath! (Don’t get the song reference? Me either, my grandma used to sing me that song to me all the time) For this visual assignment, I was to take a picture of anything and isolate one object in the picture with a “splash” of color. In my case, I … Continue reading Color Splash Time

This is the first assignment I had to do (Amount: 3 Stars), it required me to show one of America’s sweethearts (Barbie) acting out one of the seven deadly sins- I chose Gluttony. The main reason, I enjoyed embarking on this assignment was because Barbie is portrayed as “perfect” in every aspect of her life … Continue reading The Seven Deadly Sins: Barbie Edition

I was a bit unoriginal with the location I chose for the Photo Safari- Home Sweet Home. I figured home would be the best place because I happen to have a lot of junk (or what my father fondly calls “oddities”). I’ll admit I love the concept of the assignment, being able to utilize the … Continue reading Reflection on Photo Safari

“Why hi there, I see you have a turkey sandwich. What a strange coincidence I, too, like turkey in the variety of a sandwich.”
