Who Called? : A Character Collaboration
This assignment, Who Called? was a four star assignment done with fellow group member Kassia Rivera and involved our characters engaged in a tense and mysterious game of telephone tag. In this clip Mack makes a phone call to an undercover detective he doesn’t know is in the process of building a case against him. … Continue reading Who Called? : A Character Collaboration → -
Monster
For this assignment (worth four points), I had to design a lyric typography poster. I chose to use this to express the dynamic between Ami and Sebastian Crane, an assertive and powerful ex-lover. I used Photoshop to combine text and images. Concepts from the Vignelli Canon like using a grid and font recommendations helped […] -
A Love Story
This assignment (worth three stars) required me to tell a love story in three photos. I used this assignment to tell the story of Ami and John Brown, a handsome, wealthy lawyer from Florida visiting his birthplace, NY, for a few weeks. To create this, I took images from online and used photoshop to […] -
Lie About Your Age
For this assignment (worth 3 stars), I had to make an album cover through a detailed process for each aspect: title, band, and image. I tweaked this assignment by creating my own image based on what I found as well as Sylvia and Ami‘s relationship. The title was generated by a random quote: “The secret of […] -

Weekly Summary – Week Eight
Week Eight This week was a pretty steady week, nothing crazy, but I really enjoyed the idea of viewing other people’s works and websites as we were asked to do so. It feels relieving to be done with making radio shows and I can easily say it is easier to just sit back and listen … Continue reading Weekly Summary – Week Eight → -
Week 8 Dailycre8s
1. Groom Ransom Note For this TDC I made this: I used Photoshop to make this image, combining a desk and a piece of paper with my own text to create a ransom note from the Athletic Dept. I chose to go this route with this because most of the other notes I saw were […] -

Inspiring and Motivating: Amanda (MissMoon)
I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Amanda on the radio show. We have similar personalities and work so well together. Her personality and humor reflects in everything she does and in turn enhances her work. Her unique creativity is shown in her visual/design work and everything that makes her a fun … Continue reading Inspiring and Motivating: Amanda (MissMoon) → -
Noir D&D Review
On Tuesday night, I tuned into DS106 Radio to listen to Noir D&D, which was, from what I could gather, a recording of a board game being played (Sadly I missed the first couple of minutes where there was probably an explanation). This was a wild radio show. Wild in the classic Noir sense of […] -
Inspiring and Motivating: Kassia
Kassia has a voice of gold. I felt very fortunate to have her in my group. As soon as I heard her radio bumper I thought “Yea…. I need to work a little harder”. Aside from her voice her editing skills are impressive and can create any type of mood. Her work with audio has … Continue reading Inspiring and Motivating: Kassia → -

Inspiring and Motivating Work: The Jota
I was first introduced to The Jota’s work when his wanted poster was featured in one of the weekly videos. I remeber thinking it was so well done I thought he had collaborated with the insturctors (maybe he did?), either way it doesn’t matter much because the work was extremely impressive. All of his work … Continue reading Inspiring and Motivating Work: The Jota → -

The challenging part was picking one individual work that I enjoyed the most. After extensive searching … Continue reading Inspiring and Motivating Work: Spencer → -
Inspiration- Kimberly Roehl
The Steadfast Sleuths poster idea was cool. She didn’t use a lot of colors. The images were not over done. This poster goes to show that you don’t need a lot of detail to get the point across. It inspired me to not use so much. Not saying that it was a simple poster, but … Continue reading Inspiration- Kimberly Roehl → -
WEEK EIGHT
This week was soooo hard to get back into the swing of things. Before spring break I had a good -
Inspiration- Janelle Pierangelino
This inspiration piece hit close to home. The poem that she used in itself, is inspiring. It is true when you are going through dealing with someone who has died and meant so much to you. The image itself is great. The way she maneuvered the words around the angel’s head fits well. I submitted … Continue reading Inspiration- Janelle Pierangelino → -

This inspiration was for a daily create by hungrymax. It was his blog. This picture was great. He said he did it with photoshop. The way he was able to put the pictures together is great. I have been playing with photoshop, but have not been able to come up with something this good. I … Continue reading Inspiration- by Hungrymax → -
Inspirations- Noir not the father
This post inspired me by all the details put into the radio show. I was able to listen to it this past Thursday. I don’t like to watch those Maury type shows, but this kept my attention throughout. The fact that they thought about the audience reactions was good. That is a minor detail that … Continue reading Inspirations- Noir not the father → -
