    No, Not Really

    by
    The year is 1944.  17 year old Private Tony Bonamo has just entered Paris.  He is an infantryman in Patton’s 3rd Army.  He turn a corner and sees her.  The Parisian girl is maybe 16.  She is trying to cross a street and reach a safer part of the city.  Behind her are her younger […]

    Vignelli Canon

    by
    Well first I’d like to point out that Vignelli didn’t hold back on any details. I’m pretty sure he hit every aspect of visual design. I’m not a professional visual designer, but I think he gave me an extremely well thought out idea of how to put things together. When he is explaining the different … Continue reading Vignelli Canon

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    After going spending some time in The Vignelli Canon, I would have to say that the section that left the greatest impression on me was the section about responsibility. This section has reinforced something that I have always believed in and occasionally have strayed from in projects. The method is called KISS (Keep it simple […]

    Who am I

    by
    I have a picture of heels because I am obsessed with shoes. I have a picture of a family because that’s what I live for. I have a picture of the color burgundy because that is my favorite color. I have a picture of college students because I am still working on a higher degree. … Continue reading Who am I

    Reflecting on a Week by Design

    by
    Looks like I missed Friday. Thankfully, Morlium had me covered. I may have to talk to him about his quality of work, though… So, happy design week. Design assignments sure do cover quite a variety of topics. I created an icon for my blog, now I have to find out how to get it in […]

    Daily Creates of the Week!

    I thought that I would put them all in one post to make it a ton easier! Upside down Nana in a basket @ds106dc #tdc1361 pic.twitter.com/Ws3cOAGuA9 — Gabby Christie (@christie_gabby) September 30, 2015 The first one that I did was taking a picture of something upside down and I chose to do my friends cat […]

    Love at first shot

    by
     This day I will remember forever.  We met on the playground, our parents were talking about work and cars.  Since they were busy we found our first kiss. This kiss I will remember forever, I will never forget.  It will rest on my heart forever. When your parents move for a job in a couple […]

    The Angel Islington

    by
    A minimalist poster for television?  Why not?  Hey, I remember when there were new episodes of MacGyver airing (that means broadcast).  I chose something both old and new. +1 for anyone who understands how the title of this post relates to the poster.

    Random Post of Requirement for the Overlords

    by
      There is no story behind this picture. A story implies an end, something completed. What do you call something still in its infancy? An introduction? Yes, there is an introduction behind this picture. An introduction of a man to a woman he knew well. An introduction that could occur despite the two already knowing […]

    Designing Week 6

    Week 6 came and went! I did most of my work huddled up in my bed because my house was a chilly 55 degree, brrrr. Fortunately I had plenty of blankets and hot chocolate to pull me through. Then finally...

    AMAZEing cliche post title

    by
    HMmm…Maze. At first I was tempted to go inception on this assignment (take 2 minutes to draw a maze that takes 1 minute to solve), and do something simple and trivial. Fortunately, I came with a better idea. I am a fan of iterative design, and the easiest way to iteratively design a maze is […]

    Planet of the Vampires

    by
    Out of the 3 films, I chose to watch Planet of the Vampires. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t find this particular film too interesting, and it was hard to pay attention to the plot. At least that isn’t...

    DesignBlitz

    by
    Over the course of this week I took the time to take photos of things that I usually see everyday. Color This is a painting that I see everyday in my apartment and it is my absolute favorite. The boardwalk itself is in a yellow tan color that has a perfect contrast to the different […]

    Almost a Logo

    by
    What drew me to this assignment? An opportunity to express personality without talking about myself. How convenient. Obviously, my icon is going to be almost a square, and it has to contrast with an orange background like that of my blog. Lessgo… I actually took two iterations at this assignment. The first was a broken […]

    The designblitz assignment asked us to take photo’s of various things to illustrate : color typography metaphors/symbols minimalism & use of space form/function/message balance rhythm proportion dominance This first photo represents  and emphasizes color. . The blue background, the blue type, the word blue and the blue rhino all represent the word or color blue. Overall […]

    Designing the Minimum

    by
    Wow, a minimalist poster? sounds like my kind of assignment. Lots of thinking, little tedium. When it comes to deciding what movie I wanted to do a minimalist poster on, I only had a few options. The example posters all had readily identifiable nouns in their designs, and I know of very few movies with […]

    Fruity Warning

    by
    Hmm…imaginary warning label. The only question is, what can I think of that could be dangerous enough to warrant a warning label? How about whatever inspired this commercial: Not stated in the commercial is the following. How could they neglect putting that in the commercial? Must be the Alliance’s payment for letting them put subliminal […]

    Non-designed Vampires

    by
    As part of the discussion on design, I watched Planet of the Vampires. Personally, I believe there are a lot of flaws in the movie, but I won’t be talking about the plot or the acting, but instead focusing on the design elements of the movie. The unforgivable flaw in the movie is the lack […]

    A Design Within A Design Within A…

    by
    For the Assignment Bank project titled “DESIGNCEPTION” (worth 4 stars), I had to take a picture of objects nested within each other so I took my Inuyasha DVD omnibus and put my Taemin CD inside one of the slots and put my Pokemon Blue game in front of it.

    Designing a Design Week

    by
    Wow, the design article is quite a read. I will focus on just a few points of the article, lest I start to ramble (there is a certain difficulty in covering 90+ pages of material, even if it is a short read). It is interesting that the examples in the paper, such as the paper […]
