For my first visual assignment this week, I chose to do Create a Game of Thrones House. This assignment stood out to me because I am a Game of Thrones […]
Here are two other very important members of my family, Bubby (darker brown) and Beaux (lighter brown). My family found Bubby after his previous owners left him on the street and drove off. He is the sweetest and most chill dog ever. Bubby and I will literally sit on the couch and watch anime all […]
I would have loved to go pumpkin picking with Nipsey and Lauren. They seemed like such a dope couple. Outside of that, I had no idea what I could place into this picture besides something in place of the sun. As I watched my daughter playing her Nintendo Switch it dawned on me…MARIO. In this […]
I really wanted to find a funny scenario and I came across Biden. I imagine that he’s trying to avoid looking at a disaster and what better disaster than Total Wipeout? I edited with the PhotoRoom app. So far it’s been easier to manage...
For this assignment, the goal was to create our own Game of Thrones house sigil using the website Jointherhelm.com. I am not a huge Game of Thrones fan, but I thought the assignment was a great way to incorporate our theme. Here is the sigil I created for myself: I went super predictable with the […]
I had to use this assignment to my advantage because I love crime and spy movies. For this assignment, we needed to pick a photo of a secret agent and a quote from another agent and mesh the two. It took me a little bit to decide which two agents I wanted to use, but… Continue reading I Was Bourne For This
For this assignment, I had to take a photo of an object and make it look “larger than life”. I chose to take a few photos instead of just one. The photos I took are of a pool table, a lamp, and a column. This assignment focuses on the objects’ depth and perspective. Taking a… Continue reading Hey “Short”y
As soon as I saw this assignment, I knew I had to do it. I had to create my own House Name with a logo, like in the T.V. show Game Of Thrones. This was pretty easy, as the website had simple instructions. That being said, it was difficult to pick a logo for my… Continue reading The Simple Kingdom
For this assignment, I had to create an image from earth or grass and add items to make it look interesting. This was a pretty fun assignment, I enjoyed using the color green as much as I could. I tried to make it somewhat difficult to see every animal, so the viewer had to focus… Continue reading Green On Green
For my “Earth” design I used this software called photopea to help me design my logo. I created a clipping mask by using a picture of grass from google images and then placing it over the Text is covered in grass. Next, I created a drop shadow, and lastly, I added a butterfly to make… Continue reading Earth
I have had this debate (prompted by group leaders, professors, etc. here at UMW), more than I could imagine. So it wasn’t hard to come up with what I would put in this meme. I will forever stand by my statement; however, if you would like to challenge me, feel free to do so in… Continue reading Pop-Tarts = Ravioli
I made this image on PicsArt to showcase how although birthdays are a great time in theory, they never seem to go the way you think they would.
Cheers to my birthday with Elmo!
Last week, I wrote about my bucket list/why I wanted to do everything on the list. This week I decided it would only be right to continue on this path and make a visual representation of the top nine things on the list. My bucket list is definitely an easy, yet entertaining, one. I want… Continue reading The Chum Bucket PT 2
When I saw the “Your love for your pet” assignment I knew I had to make a collage of my dog, Biscuit. It should be evident that I love my dog through my many posts about her. Biscuit is a yellow lab rescue who is 11 years old! My family adopted her when she was 6 years old […]
This week one of the assignments we were given was to choose assignments from the “Visual Assignments” section in the assignment bank. All of the assignments combined have to have a total of twelve stars. The assignments I chose were “The Life Of A Superhero” (2 stars), “Colorize It” (3 stars), “ComboPhoto” (3 stars), and “Design To Shock” (4 stars). […]
Assignment Growing up I was a S-T-U-N-N-E-R, period. Wherever I was, there was a camera and sass. So when I saw Then-Now-Together, I knew I had plenty of throwback pictures to choose from to complete the assignment. Behind the Work When I was really little my parents took a lot of pictures of me being […]
I know very very little about spies. That whole secret agent genre went right over my head growing up, BUT I did watch Phineas & Ferb, Get Smart, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith with my brother, so that’s how I got here. This assignment, Who Said What, asks you to pick a photo of a…
For my first visual assignment bank, I chose You In Collage Form, which had 2 stars. I had to create a collage with images and words that describe me or […]
The goal of this assignment was to replicate a famous painting in real life. While searching for a painting, I came across John William’s Circe Invidiosa and realized I had a similar dress to the one Circe is wearing in the painting. I took SO many pictures trying to get the angles right since I was doing it by […]
For this assignment I took inspiration from “The Brady Bunch“! I used Adobe Spark in order to make my collage of me and my friends (the people who are tripping though my life with me). I chose to do all of my friends because they have truly given me a family outside of my bloodline.… Continue reading The People Tripping With Me
Today I wanted to display the places where I feel at most peace. I tend to overthink a lot, so when I find something that can bring me an ultimate sense of calm, I turn to it a lot. I’ve found that the beach, the sunrise, nature hikes, and evening drives bring me the most… Continue reading Places of Peace
For as many times as I say this phrase, I don’t have a lot of pictures to laugh at or reference when I think about this sentence. But, I was able to dig up a super old photo of a carseat strapped to the top of a van in the Walmart parking lot… Lots of […]
Below is an 8 bit picture of me attending an art exhibit at Artech House in DC. I had no clue what an 8 bit picture was before this assignment but after finding a website to convert the images, it took some trial and error to find a picture that looked semi-normal when converted. I […]
Pictured below is my best friend, Marine. This assignment was to make something seem out of proportion. For some reason, my mind immediately went to the Smurfs (idk why because I haven’t seen or thought of Smurfs in years…) so I wanted to incorporate a mushroom for some reason. I went through a bunch of […]
A while ago I tried to create the optical illusion that I was holding the Washington Monument … BUT I think I needed to be further away for it to look right. “A” for effort though, right?
2/5 stars
