The Character Word Cloud assignment worth 3 stars, was all about creating a word cloud for your particular character. (Though the example was a tv show.) The suggestion was to use wordclouds to create it. I decided to use the assignments I had already written for my character to fill up the the words, including […]

I decided to do the Four Icons/One Story project worth 3 1/2 stars. Realistically I decided to take on this project because I saw they included the Noun Project and I really think they have awesome stuff on that site. (I even wrote an article on the Noun Project for work.) I was really excited […]

Both of these episodes were amazing and actually were really good. Platon is a famous photographer that has taken pictures of many famous people, some good and some bad. Platon still … Continue reading Thoughts/Ideas

http:/https://soundcloud.com/user-72186574/rootin-tootin This project was really fun for me to do! It made me laugh and have fun. I used audacity to record myself and then uploaded my recording to sound cloud. My roommate helped me to come up with the monolog for “Stephanie’s Saloon.” I hope Y’ALL like it!

I found this literature to be incredibly interesting, although I will admit that some of its features and ideas were lost on me. Design is something that I have never been able to understand very well, so having to spend a week studying it should be difficult for me but hopefully rewarding. Of course the …

      The original song “Apologize” by the group One Republic. I would classify the original version as a mix between rock and pop. Luke Bryan is a country artist so his version is definitely country. As much as I love Luke Bryan and he is one of my favorite singers, I think that …

I wanted to do something fun an upbeat for my Bumper. I think that the message my seem simple but it also displays personality as well as attracting audience and drawing in a crowd.      

Archives I ended up creating this assignment myself because I couldn’t find one close enough to it that I liked. I used http://wordclouds.com to create a word cloud that relates to my character, Agent A. I used the character dossier that I created previously to pull the words from. I changed the shape of the cloud to a paw print since my character is a dachshund. I then tried to choose a color theme that I thought was little more suitable. I’m really glad I found this particular site because it really streamlined the process and allowed me to easily create something […]

Archives For this assignment, I had to basically create my own postcard for anywhere I chose. I knew immediately that I wanted to do a postcard with Italy as the destination because it is some place I have ALWAYS wanted to visit!. I’ve never been there so I didn’t have any of my own photos to use so I used Google to find a picture I liked. There are a ton of pictures of Italy on Google images but I chose this one in the end because I thought it would best for a postcard. The hard part was coming […]
