Four Icons, One Movie
by @Maeve_ds106 February 21, 2020For my fourth Assignment Bank project I completed the Four Icons/ One Story assignment, as suggested to us. This was a little trickier than I thought. I picked a movie (it’s from the 80’s) and then began the search for Clip Art. It was a challenge to find which icons could be used to tell a […] -

Favorite Movie Quote
Bad Boys for Life is my favorite movie for 2020 hands down. I didn’t come into the movie theaters with a lot of expectations because I didn’t watch the first two. But boy, was I impressed.

Motivational Poster
To all the single people out there, the kings and queens, I just want to let you know that you can make that shot. Basketball players don’t just shoot once and then give up. No, they keep shooting. They keep practicing until they can shoot and make the basket with no problem. And I want […] -
Contradiction Creation
This assignment was actually very creative. I enjoyed the idea to have a beautiful picture but a depressing or negative quote.

Tattoo Design

That is the date that I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This tattoo means a lot to me because living with diabetes is something I have struggled with for almost 18 years. To me, getting this tattoo is me taking control of my diabetes, not letting it take control of me. When I […] -
