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"

For this assignment I had to create a wedding invitation. Personally I did not want to download some big thing so I searched google. I found a free invitation creator with Greetingsisland.com where you can choose a template for any occasion and then redesign it. I decided on this invitation because sunflowers have become a … Read more "A Dream Come True"

GOOD DESIGN

September 30, 2021

I took a “Graphic Arts” course all four years of high school with a wonderful and passionate teacher (Mr. Erik Leise) who adamantly rejected the name “Graphic Arts” because in reality it was focused on Design. My work fluctuated in quality over the course of my tenor as his student, likely because I was too […]

When designing this license plate, I wanted to incorporate it into the main idea of this course. I took a look at some other license plates designs, in order to come up with my own design. I used Banner Buzz, which is a site that allows you to design license plates and it has different […]

This week was pretty good so far, and I was actually able to complete my daily creates a bit early. To start off, I replaced the word love in a song with Monty Python. Why did it have to be Monty Python? What do they have to do with it? Who knows. All that matters […]

September 29, 2021

One design project that caught my eye was the Remixed Game Covers assignment. It was interesting to me because the image used as an example was for an Atari game, and Atari is a game company that seems to get very little love from the mainstream public nowadays. After seeing this, I thought it would […]

September 29, 2021

by Thomas Pulsifer Despite having always possessed a passion for graphic design, I’d never truly considered the thought that goes into it. Typically, when designing a visual piece, I simply go with whatever feels creative and looks good. However, so much more goes into professional graphic design. In his book, Go: A Kidd’s Guide toContinue reading "What I Learned in Design School is…"

Simple, but detailed logo

September 28, 2021

When I saw this assignment, it reminded me of something I saw once. Someone I followed on Instagram from high school was asking if anyone could make a “snow sports inspired” logo for his podcast on winter sports. This was a few years ago and I could not find anything about his podcast, so I… Continue reading Simple, but detailed logo

For this assignment, I decided to do the A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing assignment! I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the image of the Burger King logo, but with McDonalds instead. I decided to take a stab at it and came up with BinGoogle! I thought of two competitors and thought of Bing as… Continue reading A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

I chose this image of a record I designed a while back, with different cutouts of album covers I incorporated on it. I think this demonstrates balance, because the album covers are sort of equal. Everything is in line with each other and the arrangements all seem to match up. Not only that, but even […]

This tattoo represents my personality type, in such a way that it incorporates the things that I like and it has a deep meaning. I like butterflies and to me, it means that there are no limits. That in life if we spread our wings, we can elevate no matter the circumstances. The flowers also, […]

In one of my past weekly reflections, I lamented the fact that I did not make any gif assignments. Gifs are a form of media that I don’t use that often and had no experience with creating, so the idea of trying to learn an entirely new skill while also completing enough stars worth of […]

Design Assignment: Word

by @KendraB999

| designassignments, DesignAssignments422, ds106, Syndicated
September 27, 2021

For this design assignment, I made it pretty simple, but also fun. I used the word “eat” to communicate the actual action of eating. Therefore, the “e” acted as if it was a mouth, eating up the “a” and “t”. This allowed some action to go on in this process, representing how this word is […]

After reading the “The Vignelli Canon” short booklet, I learned many things about design, but the main idea was that design can be done in many different forms of art. This can be color, textures, typefaces, and images. I liked how this booklet sheds light on, different forms of design like through a grid, scale, […]

This week was all about audio! My first ds106 audio assignment involved reordering a musical I know. The idea was to either completely reverse the order from end to beginning, or to mix the songs around in an order of your choosing. I kind of did both. As I explain, I decided to reorder WickedContinue reading "Week 5 Summary"

Bob Ross might be famous for his happy trees, but as this episode of Radiolab will tell you, the real things are more yappy than happy. First I just wanna say that I had no idea fungi and trees worked together to feed one another. That alone was pretty interesting. I also didn’t realize thatContinue reading "Yappy Little Trees"

Reviewing the materials on design helped me understand a lot about what goes into creating appealing advertisements.

Week 5 Daily Creates

September 27, 2021

Today’s Daily Create asked us to replace the word “love” with Monty Python. I felt Rihanna’s We Found Love In A Hopeless Place was a great mashup for the peasant scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I used an online meme creator to complete this one. Over the weekend, I created a ransomContinue reading "Week 5 Daily Creates"

Design is everywhere. Every little thing has some sort of look to it. In reading the assigned articles, I am starting to see more and more how design plays a role.

In preparation for my favorite holiday, I decided to complete this #ds106 Audio Assignment which had me mixing together different spooky sounds. I used FreeSound to find different public domain tracks and Audacity to mix them together. I focused on creaky wooden steps, ghost whispers, group whispers, spanish whispers, and something more phantom-like. I’ve neverContinue reading "This Is Halloween"

Audio is a medium that I struggle with. Visuals make me feel like my story is not being misunderstood. I feel that sometime it is easier to have visuals with no audio, but harder to have audio with no visual. But, audio can also tell some great stories when done right. Visuals do not always… Continue reading Audio Storytelling
