  So far this has been my favorite design assignment. I used icons from nounproject and put them together in a comic strip using chogger.com. In order to get the icons off of noun project, I used the snipping tool on my computer to take a picture of the images from the website. There was ...

    For this assignment, I chose to make the Paranormal Activity poster one that told the truth of the movie. For me, this movie franchise is terrifying. I have not slept without a night light since I saw this movie… sad, but true (hence the text). This was quite fun, again spending entirely too ...

If you haven’t heard of the “Umbrella Man,” you really need to check this video out. But basically, he was this guy that happened to be present at the JFK assassination, and even though it was a bright and sunny day, he had an umbrella out. Conspiracy theorists, go! Well, turns out he was at ...

For my final design assignment, I completed “Minimalist Travel Posters Based in Movies,” for 3 stars.  I choose to do the Beast’s castle from Beauty and the Beast.  I decided to portray the castle as being spooky, so this would be the … Continue reading →

To be honest this sounded like a really boring assignment, make a bill for a fictional character? Not exactly the top thing I think I’d have fun making. However when I started thinking if there were some anime characters who ever built up an unusual bill I instantly thought of Akira Takizawa from Eden of ...

I decided to do the “Wait, Where’d That Guy Come From?” three-star assignment because I thought it was silly, and I like silly. I looked at the assignment a couple days ago, but couldn’t think of a good idea. And then today it just came to me. A DS106 vision, if you will. The example ...

I have an unhealthy love for Shaun of the Dead. I’ve seen it more times than I can remember and I evangelize it to anyone I come across who hasn’t seen it. Designing a minimalist poster for it isn’t even an assignment for me; it’s just another Friday morning. The only thing I had trouble ...

So because I’ve seen way too many 1 story/4 icon assignments, I decided to give it a shot. The concept seems simple enough, so that appealed to me.  Synopsis: The assignment is to reduce a movie, story, or event into its basic elements, then t...

My iconic owl that I drew on Paint. I had to add some color, naturally. It represents me because it’s my favorite animal, for one. Two, it’s an icon to my whole family because they’re Native American, and owls are … Continue reading →
