The art of Menuistry : what is really behind those random drawings on a sidewalk menu. This book has all the answers to those deep questions. Honesty, this was just random inspiration. I took a picture from my photo album … Continue reading →

This past Saturday some of my friends made breakfast at their house. [Props to the Chefs]. Somehow we ended up performing. Gilly on the Ukulele, me and my one note show on the piano, and Q. and Ryan on the … Continue reading →

I’ve now used Where The Wild Things Are twice for a blog post. I guess that’s one of my favorite children’s books. Haha. Well I used a different picture then the book cover for this design assignment. I decided to … Continue reading →

Mine: The Original:   For the record, I love Moulin Rouge. Seriously. The flashy dances, the taboo life of a prostitute, and the music mash ups. Except the sad ending. I won’t ruin it for you, but you’ll cry if … Continue reading →

Our radio show is obviously going to be about autumn and “everything nice.” I first googled autumn trees and found the background and decided I had to involve pumpkin spice in there some where. Then, for my ad/poster, I pretty … Continue reading →

It was early morning on June 6, 1991 when the tragedy of Nathaniel Francis Wine began. For this assignment, and to kick of design week, I chose to do the assignment “Design a Cover of your Autobiography.”  It was a fairly easy … Continue reading →

Our Ds106 Radio group decided to do our broadcast themed as a road trip. ( So be getting excited for that!). I designed a Poster for our radio show using picmonkey.com. I upload a picture of my boyfriend Nathan from … Continue reading →

When I did the photoblitz I chose my cat and dog playing for two things that don’t belong together. In reality, the oddly love each other and play all the time. This the camera roll that I got from just snapping pictures of them together. Just thought I’d share the cuteness

It took me a few days to ponder about the designblitz. I had to first think about which elements I wanted to do and if I could do them effectively (or ineffectively to prove a point). I first started by reading the assignment document and looking at a few examples. However, the examples didn’t really ...

Chugging along the DS106 Design week, I created the lovely “What people think I do” meme. Staying true to the Emergency Medical Services, I created this: Okay, so I cheaped out and used a meme generator that was given on the Assignment page. I originally was going to make my own…until I went to the page for reference and realized they had a link to the site where you placed your photos and wrote your text and it placed it! Sure, this would have been a quick create in GIMP, but why pass up an opportunity to just drop in some photos and have the computer do the work…that’s why … Continue reading →

I bring to you… Fall Leaves and of course, everyone’s favorite….PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES!!! Wait, seriously? That’s what time of year it is? (Well, yes, but..)HELL NO!!!! It’s time for zombies, guts, and horror! Check this out: The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 14 at 9p! YES I CANNOT WAIT!!! and Paranormal Activity 4!! Saw a preview on TV the other day, sweeeeeet! But that’s not why I brought you all here, we have DS106 Week 6! Also known as Design week, and I chose to turn myself into a ZOMBIE! Haha, YES! And this was sooooo simple! What a great way to start my design week. And, if … Continue reading →

I did the letters in your surrounding assignment this week “Create your name from objects in your environment. Use either Creative Commons images, ones of your own, or a combination of both to find the letters of your name hidden in your surroundings. ” For this assignment I decided to give myself a theme: Bridges. I really enjoy traveling and I think this photo portrays that, I’ve actually seen at least on of these bridges, maybe more. I used photos of bridges I found through a search on the creative commons site, saved them to my computer, opened them in powerpoint and then took a screenshot of the photos lined up. This probably … Continue reading →

So I did the design blitz, a majority of it in the library and I’m sure some of you were judgin’. I learned a lot though   My example of Typography: At first I didn’t think this was typography. But … Continue reading →

Daily Create #1: Prompt: “Imagine your own personal font and draw the letters of your name.” Work: Woah! Look at those design elements. Colors! Pink being the swirl and purple being the actual letter. A metaphor! Look at that lovely corgi … Continue reading →

A design assignment I really liked was Design the Cover of Your Autobiography “Design the cover of your autobiography. What pictures would you include? What would you title it? “ My autobiography would be titled “All Things Must Change” and the cover picture is a photo of changing leaves in the fall that I found through the creative commons site. I like that the photo is focused in front and blurry in the back, which to me symbolizes not knowing what’s coming next. My autobiography would be a story of change. In the past few years my life has completely changed in ways I did and didn’t expect, and I … Continue reading →

Lightswitch Art “Create a work of art that incorporates the switch into the art.” I think of light switch art as something you would see in a child’s room, after that thought I remembered the Daily Create last week where we had to draw our favorite animal, I drew an Elephant, which was more difficult than I thought it would be. So, for this project I decided to look up how to draw a cartoon elephant. I think it turned out well, It would look great in a zoo themed child’s room.  

I have always loved the “What I think I do” memes. They have always made me laugh. I even find myself relating to them sometimes. I loved the idea of creating your own. I decided to do a Pre-Vet student from my point of view. There are ones of med students, Veterinarians, and doctors, but ...

As I was searching through the Design Assignment Repository,  I cam across one that looked a bit gruesome. It’s not my normal taste, but in honor of the upcoming Halloween celebrations I decided to do it. You take a picture, then zombify yourself. I looked at some of the examples and wasn’t thrilled with it ...

I found a design assignment i though would be easy its called Zombify Yourself (Zombify Yourself <click the link to try it yourself!). All you had to do for this assignment was go HERE and follow all the instructions. You upload a photo of … Continue reading →

I decided to do the assingment Make a Normal Photo of a Friend an Imagery of Horror (<click link to try it yourself!). The assignment details were to make a friend look like the victim of a horror movie. There was a … Continue reading →

    This would be the cover of my autobiography, fer sure. The original picture if from this site. I tried changing the saturation and making it look cool, but it just wasn’t looking good with the color of the … Continue reading →

This is my lovely tapestry for this digital assignment. I’m gunna be frank, the only reason I choose this is because I’m stressed and it seemed “childish” and destressing and easy. And it was. In this lovely tapestry, we have Queen … Continue reading →

I’m excited to start off this week with an assignment that is using our radio shows, but is visual. It seems kind of ironic to me. Our group radio show is going to be about a family road trip. For some reason this is pretty much the exact picture that popped into my head when ...

Daniel Zimmerman and I decided to do the photoblitz at the same time. We did it in our basement here at Payne Street. It’s pretty wide open, plus we have the upstairs here at the house, which we made good use of. I really like the photoblitz because for one it is time limited: you ...
