    Radio Show Week One Summary

    by
    Going into this radio show group assignment, I was really nervous and anxious because I didnā€™t think I was going to produce anything that I am proud of because I have never liked my voice on recordings and I have never had any confidence completing assignments like this. I am now writing this after havingā€¦ Continue reading Radio Show Week One Summary

    Radio Show Commercial / Assignment 2

    by
    80ā€™s Product Radio Commercial I was late to one of my classes because I was having so much fun mixing this and putting it together. I wanted to have the vibe of those 2000s kids product commercials that would annoy my parents so much because I would BEG for the products. This, like the bumperā€¦ Continue reading Radio Show Commercial / Assignment 2

    Create A Ds106 Radio Bumper This was so fun to make. I am extremely happy with how my groupā€™s radio show is going so far. We have a very nostalgic Disney vibes theme and making these components are giving me an immense amount of serotonin and so many vibes of coming home from school andā€¦ Continue reading Radio Show Bumper / Assignment 1

    by
    March 7, 2021. This is me and my companion animal in No Man's Sky. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one is which. I was able to enjoy it for an hour or so this evening. Otherwise, I spent the entire day preparing for my talk tomorrow. That is a...

    The Water Tower

    by
    March 6, 2021. This is Casselman's water tower taken from a parking lot along Principale, from a longer-than-usual walk today. I played a bit with HDR, shooting bracketed photos with the camera and merging them in Lightroom. I otherwise spent the entir...

    King of Jesters, and Jester of Kings!

    by
    When I was much younger, my parents introduced me and my sister to the movie The Court Jester. For me, this 1955 classic was my first medieval/fairytale-themed rom-com movie I ever sawā€”The Princess Bride is the second one I can think of. One of the assignments I picked this week from the Design Assignments in [ā€¦]

    Week 6 Daily Creates

    by
    Well, hello! Hereā€™s this weekā€™s Daily Creates that I participated in. These were all fun! My favorite Daily Create was probably the first oneā€”I enjoyed looking through pictures of my cats to find ones that I thought were particularly adorable and/or hilarious. Additionally, I completed this Daily Create on the day it was published, but [ā€¦]

    by
    This was one of my better weeks in this course. I reflected a lot on some of my favorite things like The Wiz and The Internet while doing my Assignment bank posts. I really enjoyed putting my own spin on different aspects of design. My favorite design bank assignment was the tapestry. Daily creates! Contradiction [ā€¦]

    DESIGnBlitz!

    by
    Minimalism/Use of space This is one of my favorite scents from Victoriaā€™s Secret. I think the simplicity of the label is what drew me to it in the first place. Form/Function/Message I like the symbolism of the actual dirt and shovel. Typography I found this book at a warehouse in Baltimore called ā€œThe Book Thingā€. [ā€¦]

    by
    I found the info in Open Culture pretty dope. I never looked at a movie poster or logo twice, even though itā€™s obvious so much though and work goes into drawing your eye to it. It kind of surprised me that other countries create their own movie posters. I was amazed at how different theirs [ā€¦]

    DesignBlitz

    The design blitz was hard because I had to find things around my house that illustrated these concepts. That being said, because everything that is designed, was designed to be that way for some reason, I was able to find some great examples. These she...

    ā€œWeapons of Mass Percussionā€ T-Shirt

    by
    When I participated in Week 3ā€™s Daily Creates, I didnā€™t expect to do anything with my creations later on. I had thought that I really liked my caution sign (ā€œCaution: Weapons of Mass Percussionā€), and it would be fun to have on a t-shirt or something. Thatā€™s why I decided to do the Design Assignment [ā€¦]

    Design Thoughts

    I learned a lot from this article. Many every day things that we all use frequently, such as signs, had to be designed at some point. I think that the fact that we sometimes forget how much thought goes into designing things like these, makes it eviden...

    Design Recap

    by
    With a focus on design, this week surprised me. Who knew how much work was put into a simple book cover or a movie title scene. I also got the chance to experiment with some common design examples, such as book covers and t-shirts. But letā€™s not spoil it all yet. Letā€™s start at the ā€¦
