Gifs can speak volumes even when there are no subtitles. Sometimes you don’t need a whole text to convey an emotion, but people can always misunderstand you. So, having a gif with subtitles allows for no confusion. I knew I wanted a funny gif and this had me on the FLOOR! I just love that… Continue reading Gif Grief

This assignment caught my eye when I was scrolling through all of the design assignments to pick from. I was about to make an event poster, but this one seemed really fun and something I have not done before. I am also a huge fan of breakfast and I couldn’t help, but think of the… Continue reading My Own Cereal

September 19, 2021

Week One’s activities consisted of introductions. Introducing myself to the class and me being introduced to this class. I was surprised by how many different ways I could introduce myself. I kept the content the same, but changed the modality. I really enjoyed making the video because it was not something I had done before.… Continue reading Weekly Retrospection #1

by Thomas Pulsifer For my final task from the assignment bank for this week, I chose the 2-star prompt of depicting a superhero in a dull, everyday situation. With Batman being my favorite superhero, the choice for which hero to have star in my picture was an obvious one. In the photo above, we seeContinue reading "Holy Quarter Pounder, Batman!"

by Thomas Pulsifer Tapping into my love and appreciation for the artform that is video games, I decided to tackle Jerome Mueller’s 3.5-star prompt to draw an intricate object with only 16×16 pixels. I’ve done a lot of pixel art in the past, so I was excited to see this prompt come up. Though HalloweenContinue reading "16-Bit Bones"

GUMP

by @PabloMccrimmon

September 17, 2021

For my final visual assignment, I Forrest Gumped myself into a historical scene. The comedian Norm MacDonald died recently, and one of his most famous comedic legacies was endlessly mocking OJ Simpson and his infamous murder trial while on SNL. As a result, the first historical scene that popped into my mind was OJ Simpson’s […]

by Thomas Pulsifer For my second task from the assignment bank this week, I’ve chosen Chloe Smolarski’s 4-star prompt to combine at least two images and create a shocking message. All it took was a single glance at the face mask in front of me to know what I wanted my piece to be about:Continue reading "Shocking Imagery"

For this visual assignment, I chose to give the world a Graphic Gift (three and a half stars). This prompt was about taking a vintage advertisement and extracting the product to create an old-school kind of clip art. I really enjoyed the concept and aesthetic of this assignment, so I decided I would give it […]

For this visual assignment, I created a color splash (three and a half stars). Essentially, the prompt instructed to isolate a color in an otherwise black and white photo. After much scrolling through my phone’s camera roll, I finally found a picture I thought would work well, from a strange figure I saw in a […]

GOOF-FELLAS

September 17, 2021

For this visual assignment, I chose to make a silly movie poster (three and a half stars). One of my favorite movies of all time is Goodfellas, and the silliest thing that popped into my mind was the classic Groucho Marx glasses, especially when inserted atop unsuspecting victims. Thus, the pairing was born. This was […]

GLITCH ART

September 17, 2021

For this visual assignment, I did Glitch Art (three stars). I’ve had some minor previous experience with this genre of digital art, so I partially chose this assignment because I already knew what my method for glitching up my photos would be. I also decided I would take photos from my past that captured memories […]

My Photoblitz list was: “Music is what feelings sound like.” Make a photo of something musical. A photo that communicates an abandoned or discarded feeling. A photo that looks better in black and white that it did in color. Trees come in all shapes and sizes. Make a photo of an interesting tree. Take a […]

by Thomas Pulsifer Based on Emma Cate Neves’ 5-star visual assignment prompt, “Earth,” here’s an image I’ve created using Adobe Photoshop. The number of letters in the words I chose ended up creating a lot more work, since it meant more blades of grass needed to be exposed through the mask, but I think that’sContinue reading "Touch Grass"

After reading the suggestions for improving my photography skills, I reflected on a variety of pictures on my camera roll from the previous year and tried to find some shots that I thought embodied (even if accidentally) the tenets of good photography that the article laid out.

September 17, 2021

Today, I decided to attempt my first Photoshop clipping mask based on this ds106 assignment. Did I know what a clipping mask was when I read the assignment description? Heck no. This called for a Youtube tutorial, stat! I very quickly found just the right video from Photoshop themselves. What do ya know, it didn’tContinue reading "Space (clipping) Mask"

This piece was very much inspired by Kayla’s project for this same assignment. The assignment description stated that we had to make a photo black and white and then restore color to a single object. Kayla made an incredibly interesting image where she restored color to a toy machine. The machine was so striking and […]

by Thomas Pulsifer Selection:Before taking a photo, it’s important to ask yourself if that photo will be good. Some things are, in all honestly, not worth taking pictures of. Rainbows, however, are always worth capturing on camera, which is exactly what I did in this photograph.
