Literally since I was a little girl and saw Beauty and the Beast, I wanted to have a library just like that in my house.  My mom would laugh and tell me that one day I could have what ever … Continue reading →

For my last design assignment, I chose to tell the truth about a movie. Personally, I’m getting tired of all these unrealistic romantic comedies about gorgeous girls falling for these below average guys with no job, no future, no goals–I.E. Knocked Up with Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen. So for this assignment, I put my … Continue reading »

So after almost an hour of tedious photoshoping and phone calls between my tech savvy boyfriend, I created this DS106 movie poster inspired by the movie poster V for Vendetta. After finding the perfect picture I went onto photoshop and replaced the bottom with black, clone tooled the tan over the black words to split … Continue reading »

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” -William Butler Yeats I think this quote is such an important one to keep in mind, that I decided it would be perfect for creating my own Design philosophy. To me, this means that learning is never really finished. Whether we ...

This Design Assignment actually doubled as a mini History lesson for me. I always knew that I was born on Thanksgiving; my Mom had to miss turkey dinner to rush to the hospital! So when researching when Thanksgiving actually started being observed I was pretty surprised – I honestly thought it was made a holiday ...

PostSecret has become the newest way to anonymously share secrets with a large community of people online. Several books have even resulted as a sign of its success among people of all ages. I have been checking the PostSecret blog every Sunday for about two years! So when given the opportunity to create my own ...

For my second design assignment I attempted to create a propaganda poster about blogging as a Pro-Blog campaign to pair with American’s first amendment. I found this poster in a google search about the most famous propaganda photos during wartime. I felt this poster “spoke” to the common people of America that felt silenced by … Continue reading »

This was my first design assignment for two stars and it was so fun to do! I took a PhotoBooth picture of myself–a program I fell in love with when I first got my mac–and uploaded the photo onto picnik. Then I played around with a few photo effects to create this cartoon-like pencil-sketched version … Continue reading »

I had fun with this assignment…I picked an old not so great photo I took years ago and applied a vintage affect and added a saying I thought fitted the picture in a helvetica font. The assignment was very self explanatory but I think you made it your own by your choice of words to … Continue reading »

This assignment so was easy to do and finally gave me the outlet to brag how my ex looked EXACTLY like my dream boyfriend Ashton Kutcher! He always said people told him he looked like Ashton but once I found a certain picture of Ashton–above–the resemblance was uncanny! All I had to do was upload … Continue reading »

The daily create I did this week was to take a picture that represents your current job.  I have been working at Carvel in Oceanside since I was 15 years old, I am now 21.  I love this job, it … Continue reading →

    This is my picture with a little caption. I chose to use this picture I took around Christmas of my younger sister. She was exhausted from basketball practice earlier that day, but for some reason she decided she wanted to dress up as santa. This photo was edited with instagram and paint artist to … Continue reading →

This postcard is based from The Little Mermaid Movie. This is before Ursala took over, and almost ruined the wedding.        

This design assignment asked us to design the cover of our autobiography. I thought it would be really fun to try and tackle this one. I wanted to use a picture that I had taken because it would be something more personal. As I was cruising through my picture library, I found this this picture of my dog Harper. Then the quote ...

When thinking about my life, I immediately thought of an old country road. I’m from a very small town, and live on a dirt road. I also wanted to somehow incorporate a “no regrets” sort of thing into it, so I found the phrase “U-turns, detours, and forks in the road” which just incorporates it ...

I never knew I could make my own Motivational Poster or lack of motivation just by following these easy steps! My process was quick and easy except for the catchy phrase I had to come up with for the title … Continue reading →

This was by far my favorite visual assignment to do. This picture of my little brother was taken after a never-ending eating session at Grandma’s house on Thanksgiving about 4 years ago. My little brother, James, is a very charismatic … Continue reading →

  This affect I gave this rose given to me by the man who loves me, encompasses what it was like for me to open up again to the idea of love. Break-ups and watching other relationships fail gave me … Continue reading →

  This picture just says it all. When I was a senior in high school, my best friend and I found a bunch of her old dance costumes and decided to have a dance-off. I am never embarrassed to do anything, even if I may look stupid. I love to laugh and have a good ...

  Granted my brother is a senior in high school, but when I called to tell him I set-up my website, he knew exactly what I was talking about, and was asking me questions about my website that seemed like they were in another language. I’m pretty sure he started making his own websites when ...

  To complete this assignment, I looked on The Big Picture, and saw that they were featuring Fashion Week. This is actually a picture of a girl getting her hair dried. The caption I placed on the picture says “First we’re going to give you a brain, and then we’ll go from there ok?”   ...

Alternate Book Covers DesignAssignment 366  For this assignment I took a picture from my wedding.  Using the image of the rings I decided that The Fellowship of the Ring would work.  By titling it such, it creates a different meaning than … Continue reading →
