    Daily Creates: Week 5

    by
    February 10: Creative Hands For this daily create I was inspired by the mess I leave behind when I’m painting, specifically the residual paint that inevitably ends up on my hands. I used a picture from back in the summer when I painted my galaxy painting and reworked it for this daily create. I cropped…

    peace…

      So I chose the creative hand assignment for my Daily Create. I took this picture with my friends forever ago, after most of us painted our nails. I really like the design it made, so I thought it’d be perfect for this TDC.

    DesignBlitz of Merica!!!!!!!!

    by
    First think I should probably note is that every single one of my pictures is the American Flag or, for one, has an American flag in it. When looking at the different categories that were given, I was trying to think of things that could fit in each of them. I then decided to have […]

      The daily create I chose was superpowers. I chose the superpower of the brain because in reality, nobody would expect me to have it. I don’t particularly want a super brain either, but I could easily disguise it and use the element of surprise. Plus I love irony

    Design Blitz

    by
    This picture is an example of the balance design principle. I see this principle as a design that is neat looking. Something that is either symmetric or asymmetric. My example, which is the carpet outside my door to my apartment complex, is an example of symmetric. I liked this design because when I first moved … Continue reading Design Blitz

    When searching for additional assignments to contribute to the six stars of design assignments devoted to “Jewel”, I seized the opportunity to present a new side of her through the “Let’s See Some ID” prompt. It states: Create some form of ID for a fictional character that seems believable, knowing your character’s environment or circumstances. … Continue reading Freeze…Let Me See Your Gym Membership Card!

    The Story of a Dude

    by
    I watched the Coen Brother’s The Big Lebowski (1998) and I thought it was a great movie! I decided to treat myself lol by paying the $2.99 and rent the movie from Amazon and I’m happy I did. This is considered a film noir and according to Encyclopædia Britannica, “Film noir, ( French: “dark film”) is a style of […]

    Thoughts on copyright

    by
    Copyright in the digital age is a very difficult topic. On one hand, the ability to share creations and inspire others via sharing of work online has led to some amazing collaborations and advancements in art on a number of platforms. However, you also run into the caveat of whether following inspiration is comparable to […]

    Copyright Thoughts

    by
    Copyright laws just like almost any law out there, also has many flaws and loop holes. There are also no fixed body of rules. There is always a shift in how these laws a interpreted and what they mean. Before reading the reading and watching the video, I already knew a bit about them from […]

    Isn’t a Blitz a Football Move?

    by
    So this design blitz really had me itching my head. I was so busy this week because of my tests, that I really didn’t think about it too much until today. I captured some photos around campus, but I also found some photos on my phone that I felt fit the concepts REALLY well, and […]

    For my last design assignment, I wanted to do my part to help make Professor Groom famous.  The assignment I chose for this was called “Professor Groom Poster”.  The idea was to create a poster, as stated, to make Groom more famous than ever.  This poster should surely do that!

    Did You Notice That?

    by
    When watching a comedy like “The Big Lebowski”, one does not think of it as a particularly noir-type film. The humor and cursing call attention away from the environment and film design. However, once I got into the mindset of thinking like a designer, it was fairly easy to pick out the Los Angeles built environment and … Continue reading Did You Notice That?

    Double Indemnity

    by
    I decided to watch Double Indemnity because I have already seen The Big Lebowski and i wanted to try something new. For this film, space helps frame the design of the movie in many ways. The setting of this movie was in Los Angeles in the late 1940’s. During the film, it was either very […]
