Todays daily create, we were assigned to create a video on YouTube showing movement of water and glass. To create the video I video taped water from my sink running over a glass cup. Because I taped from inside the glass, I recorded a unique viewpoint. It turned out to …

The Ultimate Merger Another Design Assignment for the week is The Ultimate Merger. All of the design assignments seemed pretty interesting, but this was the first to catch my eye and I loved the idea of having to combine to companies logos together into one. Well deciding on the two logos to merge was THE […]

Daily Create, of water moving in a class. I was trying to think of something interesting to do with water and how to make it move around. At first I just swirled it around in a cup, but that was to boring, so I decided to grab a straw and blow bubbles in the cup […]

  Don’t talk about it.         Guess in the comments!     Took a while for me to figure out how to represent this movie’s unique, layered plot in minimalist images, but once I finally did, I... Continue Reading →

....at Office Depot and demanded that the employees hand over every last paperclip they have stocked. Soon after, they created the largest paperclip anchor possible and had some leftover to create some bling for themselves to make them look more intimidating. I meant to post this a few days ago but I forgot too and […]

I did this daily create a couple days ago but was too busy to make a blog post about it so here is Captain Fluoride, everyone enjoy him and his merry men!

Enjoy the dancing cup everyone!

Six-Word Memoir No matter what the six words are, six words can explain a lot. Throughout my life, I have been through hell and back; was never one to talk about any of it, but hey who needs pity? When I found something I loved to do, play softball, I stuck to it. Nothing ever came […]

I see the motivational posters all over the place, in corporate offices, schools, you name it. I have also seen those de-motivational posters, which by the way crack me up to no end. But the actual motivational ones can be inspiring and entertaining as well. They say you can leave the Corps, but the Corps […]

For the Visual Thinking and Symbols list of assignments, I chose One Story/Four Icons. Thinking of a movie to create out of four symbols was the first step, and ultimately the hardest. I thought of movie after movie, and each one I came up with, I felt as if the symbols I would have chosen […]

I saw this challenge and immediately started it. I will have to admit something though. I am already 44 years old, and I’ll be dead before 50 more years passes. So you’ll have to accept what I give you. I guessing that if I was 18 years old, I’d look this picture at 68-70 years […]

I was rather intrigued by the idea of cookie cutting a shape out of a barcode. The use of vertical lines along with the implied lines that make up the shape in question work very well together and I don’t have a problem identifying the image in any of the examples I’ve looked at. I […]

I love movies. I love at least one film from each genre. I used to collect movie posters and hang them on my walls. I’m 44 years old now, s that type of decorating simply won’t be tolerated, but I still enjoy a good movie poster. Having said that, when I saw this assignment, I knew I had to […]

I selected some of the images for this assignment from the internet, and some I created on my own. I just placed them into MS Paint in the order of the story. I really liked this story when I was first introduced to it. I regularly enjoy a solid drama, but there are times when […]

This was a fun assignment. It was also fun to get strange looks rom people as I laid down in the bushes or in the middle of the sidewalk to get the shot I wanted. Design principles for photography are the same in my opinion as design principles in art in general. We discuss such […]

I saw this assignment and knew I had to give a go. It was worth three stars. First I looked up World War II posters. I came across a saying that I hear all the time. A saying that I really think is interesting. A saying that I honestly did not realize came from this […]

This daily create was really done out of the random, and since it was just a story I decided to find a picture on google of a pirate ship, and open it in Paint, and add my story to the picture to give it a little more character.

Arg… Shiver me timbers. I’ve just landed in a town called ole’ Fredericksburg. I traveled up the Rappahannock raiding the towns along the way. I haven’t found much of anything and Fredericksburg is turning out to be a bust too. There isn’t any gold or treasure among these college folk. But alas I found the […]

As a whole, I found Week 5 to be quite enjoyable even more so than Week 4. One of the greatest challenges was getting into a photographer mindset and finding content close by. I have never been much of a photographer other than the cliche tourist photo ops. I only have a camera phone so […]

This week was a little hectic. I started and did most of my draft at the beginning of the week; however , the editing part at the end of the week was more difficult than what I originally planned. I actually enjoyed most of the assignment of this week because they were all about taking […]

Daily Creates Flickr, PhotoBlitz, and How to Be a Better Photographer Visual Assignments This week was the week for me I really enjoy photography. I took a number of classes in high school and it still holds a special spot as my favorite class. This week hit on a lot …

From the tips you posted, I used mostly change in perspective, add depth, and better contrast in my photos this week. From this particular photo you can see I laid down on my stomach to get a better perspective. It also created depth as you can see every blade of …

You can view the photos from my photo blitz here. I chose to take the photos back at my house. I didn’t want to take them in a too public place because I didn’t want to be interrupted when I was on a time limit. There’s also always a lot …

For me this week more than any other was very overwhelming. There was many assignments, and more parts to each assignment than before. But the course is progressing on so it was not that surprising to me. I love getting to take interesting photos, and getting to create something out of relatively nothing. Creating an […]

Ok ok, maybe I was being a little over dramatic with the title of this article. I believe I definitely took some good photos, but I’m no pro (not yet). The main focus of this week was on Photography, through... Continue Reading →

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126531613@N03/sets/72157648143764201/ I couldn’t figure out how to embed the photo set into my blog I tried what a site had suggested about pasting the link given by slideshow page into the text editor of the blog, but it just made the link regular text. As to why I chose the …

Photography week was a blast! The first assignment I started on was Photoblitzing (which was my favorite). It was a beautiful day, so I took advantage of it and came out with some great photos. The suggestions from David duChemin’s … Continue reading →

Apophenia – 3.5 Stars I found this assignment to be far more difficult than I had anticipated. At its core it seems relatively simple, just find an object in your room and make something out of it. However, that was far from the truth. I sat for quite some time thinking of things that would […]
