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 →

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 →

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.

This week was actually a lot of fun. I had such a great time hearing how other peoples radio shows turned out. There was seriously such variety in the shows and nothing I listened to could have been considered bad. If the few shows that I listened to can reflect on the class as a … Continue reading Weekly Summary

Imrad Ahmed’s post inspired me not only because it looked cool and hilarious, but his write-up for the blog post just made the image so much more appealing. His use of the gif brought me laughter, and I can honestly say that his personality in his blog alone inspires me. Creating clones is hard enough, … Continue reading Inspired – Imrad Ahmed →

For my radio listen this week I listened to NoirTALK. This show was very intriguing but also went over my head at time. The sound effects really drew me in to the show, and the characters were very interesting. Damon in particular was very awkward and secretive. This show has a lot of good things… Read More

I ended up being a huge creep and visited this Leanna’s post twice, but in my defense this design was very well-done. I work with Adobe Illustrator a lot in my free time, so I truly understand the amount of time needed to created something like this. This post inspired me because it really shows … Continue reading Inspired – Leanna Epps →

Landon is an awesome dude who I am privileged to personally know. His post of this wallpaper design really inspired me in the fact that this is actual proof of his improvement in digital imaging! In knowing him, I would have to be honest in saying that he was not the most tech-savvy individual that … Continue reading Inspired – Landon Epperly →

http://www.dshargis106.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/IamGroom.jpg Sharla’s Post inspired me through the sheer humor and entertainment that I have received in looking at this image of Groom. Although the Groom’s face could have been edited a little bit more carefully, I believe the idea itself is what makes the image so awesome. Never in a million years would I have ever … Continue reading Inspired – Legend of Groom →

This week was a little hectic just because it was the first week after spring break and adjusting to being a college student again can be a little difficult. I did not give myself enough time this week to balance out all my work. I unfortunately missed the many chances I was given to live […]

This week I gained a higher understanding of what it means to be inspired by another’s work and incorporating it into your own work. Commenting on other people’s posts this week about how inspiring their reflection showed me how encouraging it is to relate to other people. This week I tweeted from my character’s twitter and … Continue reading Weekly Summary

The Noir Buzz: Fortunately, but unfortunately I have a job so it has been hard to tune-in to all of the radio shows. I would absolutely love to listen to all of them, but with work, I can’t. Luckily, I was able to tune-in to the radio show NOIR not the father on Thursday evening. […]
