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!

March 4, 2021

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

March 4, 2021

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 […]

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

For 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 […]

One 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 […]

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 […]

As 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 […]

The post Apocalypse appeared first on Digital Storytelling with Jordan.

This week was interesting to say the least. I think the most enjoyable part about this week was watching the youtube videos and listening to how graphic design is really an art form and a science and writing a commentary on Kidd’s work. I enjoyed the design blitz and it was really insightful and cool […]

Okay so this isn’t a motivational poster. I lied. It’s more a fun little twist I put on it because I wanted to. I used Photoshop to compile the picture, frame, and text all together. Enjoy the finished product.

Instead of reporting a fictional character or just one person, I included both my girlfriend and I! I made most of the characteristics a bit of a joke, but overall please find her and I. I used Photoshop to compile all the characteristics and photo. I also just realized I put 1994 for the Fall […]

I tried to make this book cover seem all eerie and mysterious using Photoshop to put drop shadow and text onto this google images dystopian photo, but I don’t think I did too hot. I have no clue what I meant when I typed “nobody cared until the bells rang”, it just seemed suspenseful and […]
