My third assignment I did was called Who are you? worth four and a half stars. In this assignment I had to create a picture using pictures that represented each letter in my name and something about me. E- Represents an elephant because I like elephants. I think they are beautiful, cute and cool animals. I’ve always wanted to ride

I think this might be a little bit too easy to guess, but if you can’t guess it then we wouldn’t be very good friends.

Hey guys! This week is all about design and we had 5 design assignments to complete including one that was at least 4 stars or…

This week I photographed some objects that I felt exemplified some of the design concepts that we studied. It was interesting to look at ordinary objects and to think of them in a way that I had maybe not considered before. I took lots of pictures, but a lot of them I didn’t think represented … Continue reading Conceptualizing Design

Here is my First assignment called This Assignment is Suspect, worth three and half stars. The assignment was to create an assignment board and show the interaction between everyone.   The story is about my missing shirt!

The Work Itself: For this week I had to complete a four star design assignment of my choice. This assignment appealed to me right away when I saw “cartoon”.

Vignelli’s Booklet was an informative reading and helped me understand design in a more concrete way. He talked about three major principles of design being syntactics, pragmatics, and semantics. These three concepts he noted were the foundations of design and they should be considered and almost kind of have to be considered when designing anything. He wrote … Continue reading Vignelli Canon

My second design assignment was also 4 stars. It is called Cartoon You. The assignment was to make yourself or someone you know into a cartoon character. I decided to cartoon my roommate because she’s gorgeous and I just finished a volleyball match and needed a shower. The first thing I did was look through […]

Here is the original assignment. They were best friends as kids. They told stories, and made promises to one another. All was fine until the war began.

Hey everybody! This week we had to do a whopping five design assignments worth at least 12 stars. I was really interested in doing this…

Honestly, when someone thinks of a photograph that captures love this is usually it. It’s iconic. This famous kiss took place after the victory over Japan Day. It was taken August 14, 1945. I like this photograph because it’s candid and not like today’s candids where they’re planned candids, but the photographer spontaneously captures this […]

Color Apart from the sticker on the cover, the colors catch your attention. There are a lot of colors but they all go together and the title of the book, “Macroeconomics” is written in a thin black font to stand out from the other colors on the cover. Typography This canvas has more than one … Continue reading Design Blitz →

Here is how I would package myself if I were a toy. Bright, yet simple and to the point.

Here is the actual assignment. Enrepreneur.com states that no one should work more than 80 hours in two weeks. One reason for this is that the quality of the produced work will suffer due to worker exhaustion. You might think that working beyond normal hours would only slightly reduce the quality of production. This is not often the case as detrimental contributions … Continue reading Quality work… I think not!

March 19, 2012 We were celebrating 4 years of being together. He planned an extravagant cruise ship  getaway for  just the two of us.
