Tainted Love Batter Mix
3.5 Stars For this assignment I took the original Tainted Love by Gloria Jones and the cover by Soft Cell and mixed them together. Before this assignment I didn’t know that Soft Cell’s Tainted Love was a cover! For this sound, I reduced the speed of Gloria’s version and sped up the Soft Cell version… -
MWC Ad
4.5 Stars I decided to use this assignment to help me in my group radio project. I decided that an add for the college would be cool to bring back as we discuss 80’s music and culture. I tried to learn more information about Mary Washington College during the 80’s, but I couldn’t find a… -

Meg’s Design Blitz!
Here is my design blitz for the week of design! I will go through each image in the order they appear and talk about which design principles I relate to them. Jumping right in, the first image is the cover of the graphic novel, Watchmen. I absolutely love this cover, and I think it’s simplicity … -
Design Blitz!
For this assignment, I didn’t have any other emails to use for another Instagram, nor did I feel comfortable posting a class assignment on my Instagram, so I chose to post the pictures on Twitter. For my design blitz, I got photos of minimalism, saturation, rhythm, and dominance. This was a very fun assignment and … Continue reading "Design Blitz!" -
Design Blitz!
The first photo I took this week was actually not taken by me. My mom had been staying at a hotel in New York over the weekend and sent me this photo: I honestly didn’t notice much else other than the themes of dominance and proportion. While both were important, I decided to go with ... Read moreDesign Blitz! -
Design Thoughts
Out of everything we have read for this class, I have enjoyed A Kid’s Guide to Graphic Design the most. I found it the most well written, the easiest to understand, and the most intriguing. Within the first few sentences, my mind was forced to think about things I didn’t think about before. Everything I ... Read moreDesign Thoughts -

My Thoughts on Design
I decided for this post to focus on what I learned from “The Vignelli Cannon”, as that’s the article I learned the most from. Semantics was firstly very interesting to read about. Implementing semantics into your design elements helps more clearly form your ideas, you know what you want to accomplish so therefore it will … Continue reading "My Thoughts on Design" -
Illustrating a Song
This is another 2 star assignment that finishes my week with 16.5 stars! I had to make a design representing a song without writing any words. I made this using Pixlr.com to represent one of my favorite songs, Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine. This is actually three stock images lined up against each … -
DS106 Logo
This 2 star assignment required me to design a logo for ds106 radio that could go on a shirt or a bumper sticker. Naturally, I went with an 80s theme! I used Pixlr.com and looked through their 80s category for stock photos. I found this little cassette picture: I first added the text. I chose … -

Click If You Want To Be Happier
This is my try at creating a motivational poster! One of my favorite animals is an otter, so I browsed some pics of them on Google images to start. I wasn’t sure what my message was going to be yet, but I thought this picture was adorable. I then started thinking of otter puns. This … -
This Kidd is Pretty Good
This is my first time deeply thinking about graphic design. For instance, it never occurred to me that every single manmade thing or building is designed in some way. It made my whole world feel a little bigger. As I sit in this coffee shop writing this post, I’m looking at all of the shapes … -
Its the Week-end!
I really enjoyed this week! I love getting to show my personal design opinions in a bunch of cool exercises. My favorite assignment was probably creating my own superhero. It was cool trying to figure out her backstory while I was adding her outfit and figuring out what colors I would use. The Daily Creates… -
Design Blitz
Here are the characteristics I found when doing my design blitz! It was really cool critiquing different things. The wall in my apartment has always kinda bugged me, but I really understand why now! My favorite characteristic I highlighted was the green label for the cheese. I hadn’t really thought about why they used the… -
