Annalise Huddleston returns! I’m really loving my character, I must say! It’s so much fun getting to design, write about, and just overall create someone totally fictional! She feels real, to me, in some ways already! This week, I was able to use Hero Machine to create an animated depiction of what Annalise looks like, […]

When you hear or say the word “design,” what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Is it clothing design, interior design, graphic design, etc. or something completely different? This week’s focus was on design and how to implement design in different projects! I watched two TED talks this week. One was given […]

CHARLEE Lettering

February 25, 2018

For this assignment, I had to use the cool letters website to get inspiration for writing my name. I instead used my character’s name, since after a while my own name started to look too weird to continue. The first Charlee represents her collected-yet-still-getting-the-ropes nature. Next is her bolder […]

Winifred in a Cloud

This is the word cloud that I created to describe my character, Winifred Hart! I used colors that went well together (purple, blue, and green are next to each other on the color wheel), and picked a shape that would separate the words, but clearly become one larger image. This represents how all of these […]

Information can be found on the poster! Please help find and return this hat.

I then added a filter to make it […]

The book cover I created for California is not too different from the original, but I think it tells a lot more about the plot than the forest that the real cover depicts. In my initial Canva search, I found many abandoned places. This one caught my eye because of the nature that the couple is […]
