Join the Womenâs Ultimate Frisbee Team!
by @samprice_ds106 February 19, 2020For this assignment we were tasked to create a poster for an event or club or anything we wanted. I decided to create a poster for the Women’s Ultimate Frisbee Team, Mary Massacre. I joined the team last semester so I thought it would be fun to create a poster for something I was apart of. Here is the poster! I posted it on my twitter to advertise! The girl in the photo is a girl on the team that I found a high quality image of. I am really happy with how it turned out and might give it […] -

Assignment #2- GIFs Are My Only Emotions
The internet is amazing and all, but the best part of the internet is expressing my emotions with anime/cartoon gifs.

Culture Module Goals
I plan to do the digital privacy culture module. Digital privacy interests me because I am on social media, and the internet frequently. Most of my accounts are set to the private setting, but sometimes I wonder what that really means and how âprivateâ is it actually. I have heard on the news about times when Facebook gets [âŚ] -

READ Poster
by @samprice_ds106 February 19, 2020For this assignment we had to create a READ poster. I decided to take mine the comedic route and make fun of the one and only Donald Trump. I’m not sure if it has been made clear from my other posts or tweets, but I am not a fan of Trump. I may actually be his #1 un-supporter. I first googled a picture of Trump reading (which honestly, there aren’t many pictures of…). I then put a slogan on top of the image in the ways the old READ posters did. Here is the outcome: Hope you had a laugh […] -

A Little Less for a Little Mermaid
So far, this design assignment has been the most challenging for me, and I would like to say that this is because I didn’t know how I wanted to approach it. I decided to do a Minimalist TV/Movie Poster for Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989). What initially came to mind was using a blue gradient […] -
One Story/Four Logos
This was another assignment that Professor Bond suggest we do; it asked me to to suggest a story using only 4 basic icons.

Logo
by @samprice_ds106 February 18, 2020For the first of my assignments for the week I will be designing a logo for my business, Hanging with Sam, where I design and make macramé wall-hangings. I started this business over the summer so I am still getting everything settled and a logo is something I’ve had on my to-do list. I decided to make it very clear what my logo was advertising which is why I made sure it included an image of macrame in it. I actually ended up making 2 different designs for the logo. I can’t decide which one I like better. Here are […] -

Into the World of Design
Immediately the Brain Pickings article got me thinking about how everything around me is specifically created.
