Massimo Vignelli. I had not heard his name until today yet his influence has surrounded me my entire life. In 1950, pre-computer age, he created one of the most used fonts of all time, Helvetica. His simplistic, modern style can also be seen in logos, interior design, furniture and more. When interviewed for an … Continue reading "From Subways to Helvetica"

Everywhere we look, we can find amazing examples of good (and sometimes not so good) design. Open the refrigerator and what do you see? Jars, bottles, cartons with logos and pictures begging you to choose them. Our mailboxes are full of advertisements, envelopes with company logos, fliers designed to capture our attention. This week we … Continue reading "Design Blitz Week 2"

Being a twenty year old girl, I am very familiar with snapchat and its functions. One thing that makes it … Continue reading "ily, ily not"

My chihuahua mix, Mo, is a goldmine when it comes to funny facial expressions. He is high strung, and loves to be the center of attention, so I knew he would be the perfect subject for a funny GIF assignment. To make my gif, I first found a funny video of Mo and our new … Continue reading "Um, excuse me?"

For my 4 Star assignment I chose creating a simple logo. My grandparents have owned an auto repair business since before my mom was born.

A white sandy beach, bright blue water and a chair. That is my idea of paradise. About now, I could use a little beach therapy. Since I am mid semester, I can’t leave but I can dream. The Destination Postcard assignment hit the mark for me. We were asked to find a picture and create … Continue reading "Paradise Found"

Moon Graffiti began with beeping and static noises represent the setting. The conversation exchanged through the radio became hectic when the characters talked faster and the alarm going off. There is an abrupt ending when the voices and the noises cut off. The audio picks back up after a few seconds of silence. It starts […]
