Nike x YouTube Collaboration, I present “Just YouTube It”. I chose these two because they both play a huge part in my life. I’m on YouTube everyday and I can’t seem to get enough of Nike’s shoes! Enjoy

DS106 Wallpaper with a galaxy theme because anything is possible in this class. Your work can go as far as your imagination goes.

This by far had to be the best assignment so far, because shoes are like my passion. I been collecting them for the last 3-4 years and I just can’t get enough of them. Buying and selling is a great hobby to have if you know what your doing you can make a lot of […]

At first glance, this image looks exactly like the typical Panda Express logo. But look again; notice anything different about the Panda? It doesn’t belong to Panda Express, but to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

For this daily create, we needed to combine 2 logos. I love Mexican food, and so choosing between Qdoba and Chipotle is always a hard decision for me. I just inserted the Chipotle logo underneath the Qdoba logo, and cut out the part that said “Mexican Grill”. #tdc1359: Combine your favorite logos. @ds106dc #tdc1359 Which … Continue reading Daily Create 9/28/15
