    Lebowski Review

    by
    The space in The Big Lebowski has a ghettoish feel. Everywhere the dude went was an ugly broken part of Los Angeles (except for the other Lebowskis house). This helps frame the design of this film by whoever created the design had to focus on this ghettoish type. They gave the dude a crappy car … Continue reading Lebowski Review

    Ready…set…design blitz!

    by
    I think I’m getting used to viewing everything through a ds106 perspective. Much like the similar assignment from visual week, I found myself walking around all week, eyes darting around, snapping pictures of anything and everything that stood out to me as unique design. In my walk to the train with my travel buddy Mariah the […]

    History repeats itself

    by
    I liked this assignment because it is fun to work with an incredibly different design aesthetic than I might be able to create on my own. I also liked that I could use this for my character because the whole point is to tell a story. I went with an origin type story, using the […]

    Copy Right

    by
    Copy right laws can be very confusing and seem to not have a strong back bone. There is always loop holes in laws and copy right is no exception. Fair use is a very tricky subject. It seems to be so close to copying or cheating but its legal. I feel that it is not … Continue reading Copy Right

    Design BLITZ

    by
    1.Balance: I chose this picture in order to show balance because I took it during the week in one of the times I was walking around campus exploring a little bit this week. It was on the little stage behind Trinkle and it was a nice little area. I think this shows balance because it … Continue reading Design BLITZ

    Donnie’s Gone Dotty

    by
    Seeing as the Cartoon You assignment was so simple, I decided to include 2 pictures this time. I opened up each picture in GIMP, found the Filters tab, traced down to Artistic, and found the Cartoon effect.  I used the provided...

    Need a Writer?

    by
    Call Donnie.  I made this business card out of Bristol Board measured to Vignelli’s specifications, A8 card size of 52 x 74mm.  I used a calligraphy pen for the simple design of his “handwritten” signature accompanied by an ink well...

    good movie but is it time for bed yet?

    by
    Okay so ‘Double Indemnity.’ I watched this one cause it was the only free one. In retrospect it probably wouldn’t have mattered if I spent two bucks to watch a different one, but whatever. I’m writing this up now at two a.m. because  I just finished the movie and want to get my thoughts down before […]

    To Ruin TRON

    by
    Going on with the Jeff Bridges theme for the week, I decided to revisit TRON Legacy. That was a mistake. I thought maybe I’d been too hasty to judge the film my first showing, but no. It was bad. TRON....

    A Happy Birthday for that David

    by
    Yet another The Daily Create TDC1128, this one for the birthday of that David Kernohan, @dkernohan. David has this thing about the Apocalypse, and it is is maybe because of his old band, David and The Four Horsemen. I found this old photo of David and his band. I tracked them all down and had […]

    The Daily Creates: Noir106

    by
    TDC1122: Oopsies! For The Daily Create, tdc1122. Make a picture with words on them. Your theme: I’m sorry. I found the CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 image on Flickr by searching for “circular stairs up” in only CC images. Kaisa House, by hugovk on Flickr. I found the blood splatter vector art by searching on Google images for […]

    See True Friends In My Eyes

    by
    It is just a nice Art that I made for The Daily Create TDC1111 (which is a lot of ones) but then again, I have a lot of ones which are my True Friends, and you can always See True Friends In My Eyes because the eyes are a window into the soul which is […]

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    This week, we were assigned to read The Vignelli Canon by Massimo Vignelli. It is a design resource that was created by a graphic designer, Massimo Vignelli. I really like how Vignelli encompasses the elements of design and points out important facets of design and how things are portrayed or perceived by a viewer. Anyone can […]

    Professor Groom Poster- 4.5 stars

    by
    This assignment was kind of fun. The idea is to take a picture of Professor Groom and put him into a movie poster. I used photoshop to  create a different version of the Maleficent poster with Professor Groom in it. Here is the link.

    Fall for Me

    by
    Well, The Daily Create tdc1113 on January 25th, 2015 said to make a Word Art picture. So I did. It looked the black and white one below with the bird and the fish. I added the words “Fall for Me” to make it into a word art one. It just came from an idea that […]

    Cosmos

    by
    This daily create was to go to the website https://archive.org/details/internetarcade and make a video of myself playing one of the games. The game I chose to play was called “Cosmos.” I had never heard of it before but just scrolled through and picked a random game. I was absolutely terrible at this game!! And I … Continue reading Cosmos

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    I really enjoyed the reading. Since I minor in Digital Studies, it was helpful for me to know some ideas about design. The design is visually powerful, designers cannot stand design that is weak in concept, form, color, or texture. I think Massimo Vignelli well explained that. There are many possibilities to get a powerful […]

    Copyright and Creative Commons

    by
    I was really surprised when I see the this assignment because I learned about copyright in Digital Approaches to Fine Arts class on Monday. However I still do not fully understand what is copyright law but I think that the purpose of this law is protecting creativeness of author. Since I’m taking most of my […]

    A Curious Child: A Four Icon Story

    by
    My third and final character design assignment I chose to do was One Story / Four Icons. It was one of the suggested ones and I already felt like I had an idea of what I could do for it based on the book cover assignment. I chose to emphasize again what would be emphasized in […]
