“For this assignment, you get to design your very own t-shirt! Find a blank t-shirt template, then add a picture or some text. It could be a joke, a pop culture reference, a movie quote, or anything else you want.”...
“Create some sort of graphic. Design the overall graphic to convey some sort of feeling or theme, but then have text saying something completely contradictory to the theme or feeling. Sort of like one of those old anti-motivational posters, but...
“For this assignment, I was inpired by Carson Berrier’s “Creat A Magazine Cover” assignment. It reminded me of the time I did the “Vogue Challenge” on Instagram a couple of months ago. The steps for this process are easy, first...
This week we were given the change to revamp and redo some assignments that we crated in the past. I decided to redo my motivational poster design assignment.

This my attempt and remaking an event poster. The last one I made was more focused on the dog and not the adoption event itself. So I completely scrapped the only image and started from scratch. For this redo I went in Canva and choose a background that would fit with the theme of the … Read more "Event Poster Round 2"
This is for the Cartoon You design assignment. It asks you to remake yourself (or someone you know and love) into a cartoon character. You can draw on a piece of paper, on a tablet, take a photo and use software to convert, or use online programs to create a cartoon version of your character....
This is my submission for the “Vogue Challenge” assignment where you create your own Vogue cover. I looked up examples of Vogue covers and used them to create mine to be similar. The assignment suggests using Times New Roman for the font, however, because I used Canva, there was no option for that. The most...
I did the Contradiction Creation design assignment where you create some graphics where the motivational message contradicts that of the background mood/theme. Pretty much like an anti-motivational poster. I used Canva to make this. I used one of the photos they allow people to use for free, and added text to make it look like...
This is my spin on the Laptop Lingo design assignment. The goal was to create my own laptop cover. I used the recommended site to complete this, which was decalgirl.com to make it. I went to the website, clicked ‘”create” in the top bar of the site, chose my laptop, and went to work. It...

This is Callie! I felt a lot more comfortable with Canva after working on Edgewood’s Flier. With this adopt event flier I was able to be more creative with what I added. I wanted there to be something to catch the viewer’s attention that connected to sweet Callie. I decided to use the color that … Read more "Let’s Meet Up"
I decided to make something more than just a random flier. I used Canva to create an adoption poster for a pup named Edgewood. I had to upload, resize, and align some of his best photos that show all of his different side. For the text I made his name a larger size and a … Read more "Fur-Ever Family Wanted"

I found a free invitation creator with Greetingsisland.com where you can choose a template for any occasion and then redesign it.

The assignment I decided to revise was the generate cool letters assignment. The reason I decided to redo this assignment was because I felt that my original one was rushed and I didn’t take my time designing it. I used my character’s name and I talked about how I used tropical colors, well it looked …

For this design assignment, Contradiction Creation (2 1/2 stars), I wanted to take an apocalyptic and creepy Big Brother state approach. I wanted these contradictory text and image pairings to seem almost like propaganda while also showing the “truth” of the situation. I simply used […]

I’ll be honest. I fought a battle with WordCloud and WordCloud won. Although it’s meant to be a highly customizable and personalized wordcloud generator, I had a difficult time figuring out how to make it anything like the one in the example. I depended on […]
