My Adventure Through Week 6 Of DS106
For starters, this is my post about what I learned watching the videos and my overall thoughts about design. This is my designblitz activity! It was really fun to look around and pinpoint what I learned from the videos. These are my design assignments for the week! One of them is the poster. This is… Continue reading My Adventure Through Week 6 Of DS106 -
Poster About “Me”
For one of my weekly assignments, I chose to create a poster/collage about certain aspects of my story. For starters a lot of my story is based on food and family or what I like to call the F&F. Since I am Italian, I had to include a picture of us cooking homemade tomato sauce.… Continue reading Poster About “Me” -
Tri Force Magazine
For this assignment, I needed to create a magazine cover for whatever topic I wanted. I previously stated how much I enjoyed Nintendo on the second week of class, but I thought it was fair to bring it up again. I loved playing Nintendo games and still do, the Zelda franchise is one of my… Continue reading Tri Force Magazine -
Read The Cover
For this assignment, I needed to use a website called MY CUSTOM SKIN which helps you create a laptop cover. I chose a few of my favorite things, as if this was a book cover trying to hook you into the story. For starters, I put my name on the cover to help people know… Continue reading Read The Cover -
Catch Me If You Can
For this assignment, I needed to create a fun and interesting license plate. When I was bored in high school, I would look up on my computer cool plate commendations for my “dream car”. When I was doing this assignment, I wanted to select a cool background that reflects where I would like to live.… Continue reading Catch Me If You Can -
Design Blitz Time!
This is my Design Blitz assignment for this week. This photo represents unity as all the individual elephants are the same shape and size, but together they make something much bigger. There is a sense of wholeness and unity because they are all touching. This photo represents dominance. There is no empty space in this… Continue reading Design Blitz Time! -
What a Wonderful Design
This post is about what I learned from this weeks readings. I learned how color can focus the viewer on what is important. For instance, a white background allows the view to focus in on the objects or people in the photo, given there is little background distractions. Color can also describe characteristics of a… Continue reading What a Wonderful Design -
Dank Memez Outlet
As I scrolled through the Design Assignments in the ds106 Assignment Bank, an image caught my eye: At first glance, I thought it said “Memelets”, not Mermlet’s. My misreading paired with the title of the assignment (“Create a Logo that is simple but detailed”) inspired my idea for a fictional company that created memes and […] -
theINTERNET
One of my favorite groups of all time! I am a concert junkie and every time they have been in the area, I was there. Covid has really bummed me out because I had a festival and a few concerts planned. There was a point in time I went to at least one concert a […] -
Contradiction Creation
by @effyuwawa March 4, 2021For this visual assignment, I literally sat, staring out my window while I worked and wished I was outside. The last few times I was off and planned to go anywhere, it was raining. We were instructed to create a contradicting graphic that was somewhat “anti-motivational”. I honestly hate being in the rain, but I […] -
The Wiz
by @effyuwawa March 4, 2021One of my favorite movies is The Wiz. Michael Jackson and Diana Ross brought a whole different feel to the story line. Before the movie, The Wiz was a musical in Baltimore and later lead to Broadway in the 70s. Initially, the show did not have very much support and was on the verge of […] -
Weekly Summary: WEEK SIX
Week six is probably my favorite week. This week was the most challenging, but I also had a lot of fun at the same time. The program I used for this week was GIMP. GIMP is an alternative to Photoshop. Since I cancelled the Adobe membership a few years ago, and it’s just too expensive I decided to download the […] -

Apocalypse
by @jclark22umw March 4, 2021As a sci-fi/fantasy fan, an apocalyptic world is one I a familiar with. From anarchy and rebellion to the end of the world itself, it is a concept that drives many dystopian or thriller type novels and shows. The prompt asked me to use a certain hero creator to make a sci-fi protagonist and edit […]

Design Thoughts
My initial thoughts design were basically non existent. I never thought about what went behind designing for public consumption. The -
Dear Current Me… From Future Me.
I think I had the most fun creating this piece this week. A big part of my life… my story… is reflection. I love to sit down, take time to myself, and see what I’ve accomplished and what I want to in the future. So, I really enjoyed getting to pretend like everything I’ve always… Continue reading Dear Current Me… From Future Me. -
Ready for hire!
And I am ready for hire! I decided to make myself a business card this week (however, the contact information isn’t my own for privacy reasons). I really enjoyed doing this because it let me manifest my future for the next chapter of my story. My dream job is to make documentaries. It always has… Continue reading Ready for hire! -
Three Daily Creates Later…
I think this week was my favorite week of Daily Creates so far! I’ve just been waiting for the opportunity to make a video for this class because it’s just something I love to do and I finally got to show that aspect of my life on the 2nd. I hope you enjoy seeing what… Continue reading Three Daily Creates Later… -
Leo the Lion
by @effyuwawa March 4, 2021This is the story of Leo the lion. He had his marvelous fur, a gorgeous mane, and an even more fabulous island. People would come far and wide to see Leo on top of his luxurious castle, but not one person dare step foot on the land. For if you did, there was nothing that […] -

First Challenge 1. Color: This photo represents the warm color scheme (red, orange, and yellow). Second Challenge 2. Minimalism: This photo represents minimalism because the photo focuses on negative space. Third Challenge 3. Dominance: This photo represents dominance because the acorn is the most influential element. Fourth Challenge 4. Unity: This photo represents unity because the web converges into a […] -

Chip Kidd & James Verdesoto: Whatever You Do DON’T STOP!
Design is one of the most crucial factors in attracting the audience and setting you apart from your competitors. I enjoy designing various things all the time! I took art class throughout high school, photojournalism, and graphic design for two years. When I was younger I used to love designing and creating jewelry and scrapbooking! I really enjoyed watching Kidd’s […] -
