Vignelli: I like how Vignelli acknowledges that each person has their own sense of style, but that there are rules that have to be followed within your own sense of style. I thought the point of semantics was one of the most important points. You have to know what you’re trying to create as well…

I recently watched Paul Verhoeven’s 80s tech noir classic Robocop and thought it might be interesting to do a little design analysis on the Omni Consumer Products logo. The first thing I notice is that OCP is an inversion of … Continue reading →

I had a lot of fun with this assignment! I chose one of my favorite movies, October Sky. It’s not an 80s movie, but it is officially October now! I love this movie for a lot of reasons, but the main one (and my reason for a lot of the things I like) is that ... Read moreMinimalist Movie Poster

So before I just give away the answer to my icon story, let’s go through the process of doing this. I am not good at design. I want to be good at design. Much more practice is needed. Wowza. This was a process. I am not good with technology and kind of fumbled about for ... Read moreFour Icons, One 80s Movie

As the secretary and social media director of UMW’s Creative Writing Club, I designed a minimalist-style event poster for our weekly meetings!

For this creation, I had to compile three icons that sum of a movie! I won’t tell you which 80s movie this is, so leave a guess! I used autodraw.com for this 3 star assignment as well because I think it’s useful to create icons! I tried my best to lay down some of the …

Here’s my attempt for a 3.5 star assignment to create a minimalist movie poster. The goal here was to use clean lines, spacing, and non-detailed elements to create a movie poster! I chose Footloose for mine. I knew what I wanted to do, but I’m not great at drawing. I came across a website called …

3.5 Stars I realized while I was creating this poster, that the Ghostbusters movie poster was minimalist in the first place.

September 27, 2019

The theme of audio related assignments led to a recurring theme in completion that was pretty surprising to me, difficulty starting. With almost every assignment this week, the first step was the most difficult/time consuming part. Maybe this style of work doesn’t match my style of creativity, or maybe it is just a coincidence. Either…

In an attempt to get better at audio storytelling I dug deep to tell a story using only noises, instead of verbal communication. This one for me was by far the most difficult assignment of the week, but it ended up being fun once I started piecing it all together. With everything else being so…

In another instant classic audio assignment, the goal is to take a simple everyday noise and make it not so “simple” and “everyday”. My mind couldn’t really grasp both sides at once for something that could turn into something else, so I left it up to fate. I look up some simple sounds you may…

One mission, one task, create the best DS106 radio show bumper possible. Guess what, mission accomplished. For some reason whenever I think of radio voice transitions, all I can imagine is that old school smooth jazz cliche. Obviously that led to my only option of using that style for my own bumper.

The goal was to focus on how I’m saying my words, such as pronunciation, inflection, pausing, and so on. Check me out. Maybe next time you hear this wonderful…

I learned today that humming skills seem to correlate with singing skills, which means that I am terrible at humming. For this audio assignment I had to take a song that gets stuck in my head and record myself humming it. To keep with the 80’s theme, I picked the 80’s song that gets stuck…

My radio bumper was fun, but it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted. I guess some more experimenting with Audacity is needed. I had to do a lot of searching for the background music and my voice is maybe too quiet, but overall it isn’t too bad. It was a fun little project and ... Read moreRadio Bumper
