I HATE WEEKLY SUMMARIES. I HATES THEM, PRECIOUS. Nasty, fat, stinky summaries... I think part of it is that it feels like I’m just cutting down and re-hashing all the hard work I did throughout the week, which for me is super frustrating. I already DID this stuff, I don’t wanna do it again! At ...

The first visual assignment that I decided to do for this week was the “Common Everyday Object“. I was using Crayola Markers to do one of my daily creates and the idea popped into my head. Markers are used everyday….whether … Continue reading →

“Fixed” up: Original: I personally think photo touch ups are fun to do, but aren’t needed in the media such as magazines.  However, this assignment sounded fun to do. In high school, I took a “photography” (read: photoshop) class so … Continue reading →

Yes, internet memes.  The bottom rung of the comedy ladder.  Nevertheless, for 2 stars, I’ll gladly suck it up and make a simple one for you all to see.  This… actually wasn’t that simple.  I had a hard time trying … Continue reading →

I read the assignment (Record someone making music!) with a friend in the room, and on the subject of ridiculous things I could play and/or sing to complete it, she busted out this bawdy little ballad. I simply HAD to user ...

For my first Visual Assignment for this week, I’ve decided to do Justin Baker’s Draw it. “Take a photograph of something and transform it through GIMP, Photoshop, etc, into a drawing.” I also decided to attempt to also make it a tutorial! (: My first thought when I saw the criteria for this work was, “I really want to make my “drawing” look like something out of a comic book.” I started by looking through the photos on my computer and decided which photo would look amazing as a sketch. That’s when I came across this photo of my neighbor Nick! And I knew THIS was the photo I was going to work with! I pulled up the … Continue reading →
