    copy what

    by
    I actually have never found a reason where copyright has been a problem. When I write papers I have always been told to make sure I give credit and the same thing when editing songs and images. There is something that I did find really annoying with copyright and that was when it really started […]

    Edie Inked

    by
    For my last design assignment for the week, and my other assignment relating to my character, I chose ink (3 stars). I chose this assignment because I thought it would be a good assignment to relate to Edie and give another glimpse at who she is. She has this tattoo (about the size of a man’s palm) … Continue reading Edie Inked

    DesignBlitz

    by
    Color: For the color portion of the DesignBlitz, I wanted to compare the benefits of using vibrant color and essentially the absence of color (black and white). For the color picture I used a sign from a local store.  In this they used color to show how fresh and delicious the fruit was  to appeal to … Continue reading DesignBlitz

    Week Five Summary

    by

    This week was focused on design. I took to the streets Monday night to complete the “designblitz” and captured some examples of effective and less-than-effective signage. Then I read through and thought about the Vignelli Cannon, a sort of design guidebook written by a master in the field. We watched some movies that showed the range of genres capable of… Read more →

    Copyright or Copywrong?

    by
    Copyright and plagiarism seem to go hand in hand. You would never quote a book in a paper without proper citations, but what about when you use a picture for an assignment or a powerpoint? How often do you give the artist credit? In today’s society, we rarely give credit where credit is due, especially […]

    One story/four icons

    by
      The first assignment I did this week was called one story/four icons. It was worth 2.5 stars and the assignment page can be found here. The icons above represent a certain movie. The first icon is a camera. It is rather old fashioned, and has a big bulb that attaches to the top of… Read More

    Copyright & Creative Commons

    by
    Copyrights laws are much more complicated than I thought before I did this week’s reading. I had no idea that the first copyright law dated back to 1783. Nor did I know that it gave authors control over the publishing and printing of their work for fourteen years with an optional renewal of fourteen more […]

    Mark It Zero! Mark It Zero!

    by
    I chose The Big Lebowski for this week’s “required” movies to watch–I’ll gladly watch it any time. It’s one of my favorite movies, and one I’ve been familiar with since its release. I used to go bowling regularly with some...

    It’s a Wrap Week Five

    by
      Consider week 5 to be in the books.  Everyone deserves a high five.  Unfortunately, this was the best I could do. Maybe a thumbs up would be better!   Alright I’m done.   Anyways, week five has been fun.  Design week brought some new challenges that got me working hard and learning a lot... Read more »

    Weekly Summaries 5

    by

    The aspects of design this week didn’t interest me as much as it should have. Maybe it was because this week was kind of unenthusiastic for me. Eh. However, like always, I enjoyed our assignments for design. I particularly enjoyed putting Professor Groom’s face on Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball. The rest of my design assignments can be found… Read more →

    Week Five Summary

    by
    Wooh! What a week! This week has been incredibly busy! I guess that’s just how my semester is going to be considering I am taking 6 classes and I have a job. I guess I’ll accept the fact that this is how it is going to be. I really enjoyed this week being a design […]

    No Copy-Cattin’

    by

We were assigned to do the following things: Read “A Brief History of Copyright” Watch Larry Lessig’s TED talk, “Laws that Choke Creativity” Watch “A Fair(y) Use Tale” […]

    Noir Film Design

    by

    We were asked to watch one of three movies this week: Double Indemnity, The Big Lebowski, or Blade Runner and to think about how built environment helps frame the design and style of noir. I wasn’t sure what to do, seeing as how I watched Double Indemnity the first week of class, Blade Runner a little while ago, and have… Read more →
