    Iā€™ll Trade You Escape from Hell for the One Where Heā€™s Drinking out of a Skull

    by
    For my 4 star design assignment, I chose to make trading cards for the movie Drive Angry. The assignment page can be found here. Here are the cards I created. I chose to use Drive Angry because I love ridiculously terrible movies and this is the best ridiculously terrible movie to grace mankind since the Sci-Fi original Sharktopus was released Read More →

    Weekly Summary, Week 6

    by
    Another week, another lesson, this time in Design. It was a pretty interesting week, since I’ve never thought about design before now. I learned a lot, I think, although in the end I’d have to say that design? Not really my thing. But it’s always fun to try new things, and I think I’ll be […]

    Lets DesignBlitz!

    by
    So, for this designblitz, I decided to stick to the variety of stuff I have around my apartment, because it is gross outside, and I have a lot of stuff in my apartment. It wasn’t too difficult to find designs that captivated some of these concepts. Let’s begin with: Typography This is my roommate’s big Hershey’s […]

    Package Yourself Daily Create

    by
    If I could package myself, I would come as Batman. He is my favorite “superhero” even though he does not have super powers. I like to pretend that I have the same qualities as Batman. Here is the link to my twitter and flickr.

    Through My Window

    by
    Here is the original assignment. I walked out from my room. A long hallway stood between me and happiness: a window that peered off my deck onto the grassland and roads below. How could I cross this impeccable distance? There were so many distractions in the way. First, I stumbled over my cat. Meooow! “Jeter, what … Continue reading Through My Window

    Apple + Amazon = Applezon

    by
    Here is the original assignment. If I could merge two companies together, I wouldn’t merge Apple and Amazon. The two companies provide vastly different services and products to their customers. I would, however, combine their logos into an epic melding of the two. Behold all that is Applezon.

    Radio Show

    by
    This week’s group work on our radio show consisted of us creating a logo for our show. The name we chose was Wacky History and Rachel created a logo. The kind of show we decided to do was to each have a separate segment talking about a specific item.

    A Reflection Vignelliā€™s Canon

    by
    This little booklet explains the what design is and how to work with design in order to create something amazing and timeless. That’s one of the first points I noticed that really stood out: a rant on how design is made to withstand time and despises obsolescence. I found this statement to be a little […]

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    I spent a half hour or so reading through The Vignelli Canon. I liked that the book was split into tangibles and intangibles. The organization was appropriate for a book about design. He first wrote about the three most important aspects of design – semantics, syntactics, and pragmatics. What stuck out to me here was that Vignelli took Read More →

    Vignelli Reflection

    by
    While reading Vignelli I thoroughly enjoy the quote he uses in the second paragraph of his book which states Creativity needs the support of knowledge in order to perform I think this is a great quote for this course. Although most of the students enrolled are either creative or have some interest in the topics, doing […]

    Office

    September 2, 2015. This is my new office in building M-50 at NRC in Ottawa. It's actually a lot brighter than the photo makes it look. I haven't moved anything in yet. But I have inherited an unusually large fire extinguisher. From Flickr http://ift.tt...

    Slides from ā€œQueering the Mapā€ Talk

    by

    My slides from my Futures Initiative talk, “Queering the Map: Theoretical Reflections on Spatial Methods,” at the CUNY Graduate Center this Friday (October 2nd) can be found below, and the Storify, notes, and photos from the talk can be found here on the FI blog.

    As is the usual (and never the norm, wrote the queer theorist) for my approach, I drew upon both feminist and queer approaches for this project. While this talk highlighted the queer aspects of my project, an earlier talk this year at SDSU. “Personal/Political/Feminist Maps,” focused on the feminist dynamics and those slides can be found here. A number of paper are forthcoming from the intersection of both talks, including the piece I am presently working on: “Size Matters to Lesbians Too: Feminist and Queer Contributions to the Scale of Big Data.”

    My thanks …

    For this assignment, we were to write a poem by hand post it online! You can see the details here. To be honest, the poem is one of Bo Burnham. One of my favorite comedians.

    So for this assignment, we were supposed to watch a movie and do what the instructions said. Frankly, all of those movies looked very boring. So I’m gonna do the same assignment, but I am going to talk about Gran Torino. (Because it’s my absolute favorite movie of all time.) Design in this sense means … Continue reading
