I want to hold your hand
The first daily create I completed this week was called “Make Creative Hands.” It was based off of the Creative Hands Project. Which, from the website, I couldn’t really tell what the project was all about but it still looked interesting. … Continue reading → -
Itâs just like Charades
To start things off easy, I did this 2.5 star assignment. I had recently seen this movie, and I think that it’s popular and distinguishable enough to be easy to guess. I can see why this assignment is a DS106 favorite- it turns into a game! I used the Noun Project as suggested, and … Read More → -

Thoughts on Scenic Artists and Scenic Charges
In my first meeting with Niffer to discuss my senior project she asked me what I wanted to take away from this project and what I want to do after graduation in May. Both of these questions have been heavily weighing on me for the last few weeks. I knew when I picked this project… -
The Aesthetics: Wallpaper and Paint Research

Noir Audio: A Touch of Evil Sound Effects
I listened to the first version of “Touch of Evil” with the street sounds first and noticed a more clearer audio (personally). My first impression was a more interactive environment that blended everything together making me feel as if I was a part of it instead of simply observing it from the outside looking in. … Continue reading Noir Audio: A Touch of Evil Sound Effects → -

Copyrights and Creative Commons
I had the spiel in high school that everyone else had. “Don’t plagiarize”, “Plagiarism is illegal”, “This is the definition of plagiarism…”. Buy I’ve come to realize that copy right issues run so much deeper than plagiarism. It’s not a black and white subject, cause you now have terms like “fair use” and “transformative quality” … Continue reading Copyrights and Creative Commons -

Creative Hands â TDC
The creative hands – oh what they can do. I love writing which is why this assignment was so much fun. I am a little old fashioned because I would rather write pen and paper when I am doing something. One day I really want to take the time to write a book! Of course … Continue reading Creative Hands – TDC -
Vignelli Canon review
After reading The Vignelli Canon I could compare almost everything Vignelli says to computer science. Computer science is using a programming language that uses a computer to solve a certain problem. Being a designer of a program is how Vignelli describes how he designs, and the computer is the audience that is viewing the design. … Continue reading Vignelli Canon review → -
Design Assignment: Motivational Poster(3pts)- âA Tangled Dream.â
Tangled is one of my top favorite Disney movies of all time and I feel it sends a great message about the idea of dreaming and how it should be continuous. Flynn Ryder tells Rapunzel to find a new dream when … Continue reading → -
DesignBlitz: Signs
This week we were asked to do a “designblitz” where we take pictures of ads, signs, etc. that illustrate principals/elements of visual design. So, in the spirit of noir, I took to the streets one cold, rainy night (Monday) to see how businesses use signs and lights to reach through the darkness and capture the eyes of passers-by. These signs… Read more →

The Vignelli Knows What Heâs Talking AboutâŚ..
This booklet discusses numerous types of designs that I’ve never considered when I create media. One topic discussed in the booklet was ‘Type Size Relationship’. I was interested in how to manipulate the reader with different types font. Certain sizes can capture a reader’s eye and interest. However, if the size is too big, it… -

Of Bananas and Minions
For my first Design Assignment I chose to use a cartoon character (3 stars) to help advertise a product. This assignment because I thought it would be fun. In my head I’m always thinking of things like this, taking ideas and adding them into completely separate ones. One night, while studying, my roommate and I even remixed every … Continue reading Of Bananas and Minions → -

Reflection of the Vignelli Canon
This was a curious read. Vignellis first points about semantics, syntactic, and pragmatic all brought up interesting points and to me the semantics or the meaning behind something is the core of all work. It’s essential for whatever it is you might be doing. My favorite quote of his about pragmatics was “We like Design … Continue reading Reflection of the Vignelli Canon → -
