Space The hotel we stayed in had a few examples of design elements scattered around. One of the firstContinue reading "Design Blitz!"

This design assignment is worth 3 stars and asks you to create a wedding invitation as if you were going to beContinue reading "You’re Invited!"

This has really been a week. It has been a rough one for multiple reasons! I am not proud of the amount of work I did this week. I got so overwhelmed and finally came to the conclusion that my metal and emotional health is more important that one bad grade on an assignment. So … Read more "Weekly Summary #6"

I love correcting records, so this ds106 design assignment felt like it was right up my alley. For this 3 1/2 star assignment I needed to pick out some photos, personal or found photos, to use to create a “rad” collage for fictional album art. After digging through the cobwebs of my phone’s camera gallery,Continue reading "Bark This Way"

by Thomas Pulsifer Using Alan’s 4-star prompt, I’ve designed my very own weird book cover. What’s more bizarre than a rat in a helmet getting cheese in outer space? This is actually the cover of a real book I’ve written! It’s a children’s book, so it isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s somethingContinue reading "A Bizarre Book Cover"

Balance: The symmetry of the spoons on this cereal, juxtapose the different grains that are being held very well. The spoons are all facing the same way and the distance apart, but they have things in their spoons that are falling out and that all look different. Yet, they are all balanced, Dominance: This ad… Continue reading Design Blitz

I did a random assignment again and this one was a throwback. These posters kind of remind me of that Adult Swim bumper trend on TikTok. Same vibes. I thought about what I should put, or get rather. I just kept saying got, got, got, until it hit me. “Got to go?” It isn’t very… Continue reading Got to go…?

by Thomas Pulsifer Following the 4-star assignment laid out by Cooper Graham, I’ve made an honest cover for the video game Bloodborne. As one of my favorite games, it was an easy selection to make.

DS106 PROPAGANDA

October 1, 2021

For my final design assignment, I made a propaganda poster for DS106! I have always loved the aesthetic of propaganda posters, mostly because regardless of the topic or intent, they are so heavy-handed in their rhetoric that they can often be unintentionally comical. I decided to also tie this into the course theme by having […]

For my third design assignment, I created a vintage movie poster using a modern film with actors from an earlier era. I took this concept a step forward and decided to fully blend two movies from two different eras. The modern film I picked was Get Out (2017) and the classic movie I paired it […]

by Thomas Pulsifer Following Dradoye’s 4-star prompt, I’ve created a logo for my website. Inspired by the logos for various late-night talk shows, such as The Tonight Show, I decided to go with a similar style, resulting in the logo you see here. The font used is simple and unornate, making it very minimalist. IContinue reading "My Very Own Logo"

For my second design assignment, I created a business card for myself. This embodied our course theme in a way as well, perhaps inherently by the nature of the medium. Regardless, I wanted this card to be an engaging representation of me and my vocations. Here is the result: To create this, I worked in […]

For my first design assignment, I made a fake cereal box. I wanted to tie it into the course theme, so I decided, rather narcissistically, to base the cereal around myself and my identity. Here was the result: Inspired by Froot Loops and Cheerios, I had the core of my cereal be tiny toruses, going […]

October 1, 2021

For my first Design Blitz photo, I focused on minimalism/use of space. This was exemplified by the front cover of Douglas Coupland’s 1995 novel Microserfs. This cover has a lot of white space, or I suppose I should say ‘grey space’. It presents the necessary information (the book title and author) and then allows for […]

Based on Jameson Whipple’s 4.5 star prompt to redesign a company’s logo to resemble that of their main competitor, I decided to reinterpret Nintendo‘s logo in the style of SEGA. Arguably the most famous corporate rivalry in history, it’s interesting to see how the relationship between these two video game giants has evolved over theContinue reading "This Logo is a No-Go"

For this assignment, I didn’t want to just take an already made poster and substitute its text with something new. I had already done that quite a few times before. I wanted to challenge myself to create my own DS106 Propaganda poster from scratch. I wanted my poster to focus on a central image with […]
