Are We There Yet?-Changing the concept of a photo by altering the background of the image. The Story Behind the Story- The kinds of adventures you have with your high school buddies are often not really adventures at all. Limited by funds; legality and transportation, the range of possible activities are dwarfed compared to your …

Creating a T-shirt- design your very own t-shirt The Story Behind the Story- I love puns, inside jokes and chemistry. This is a T-shirt that I would wear with pride, extremely nerdy pride. This past semester in biochemistry, we discussed a large number of co-factors, more commonly known as vitamins. These are the functional portions …

WARNING-create a warning poster for a fictional hazard. The Story Behind the Story- You would think, that after six films, that if the characters did not adapt to be able to more intelligently navigate a world overrun with horrifying aliens, then at least the creators of these abominations would find the means to create a …

Turn a GIF into a FIG- Create a GIF and then throw it into reverse. The Story Behind the Story- When a moment unfolds in the exact right order, each progression is stitched together, thrown into a fluid singularity. Any falters or missteps are obvious and predictable. But when in reverse, these moments do not …

via GIPHY The Story Behind the Story- When we eat something that leaves a sour taste in our mouth or leaves us feeling ill, we develop an aversion. A strong dislike or disinclination. This can be true of many of the things we are exposed to in life. Tastes, smells, sounds and sights. Even people …

The Air of Panache, the air of confidence and flamboyance. This is the essence of my favorite film of all time, as well as the overused perfume of the concierge of The Grand Budapest Hotel. Like most of Wes Anderson’s work, it is an R-rated picture book come to life. With all the wondrous imagination …

This is my 4th Design Assignment of the week. In this assignment we had to design a collage that consisted…

The Story Behind the Story– The human existence is sorrowful and futile, we are alone or we are insincerely together. We are traversing along a path that seems too passable. What is thrown at us we do not conquer, we simply absorb. But we have the power to see it all a little differently. Delusion …

This is my third design assignment and is assignment that had to be 4 stars or more. The reason why…

This is my second design assignment of the week. In this assignment we had to take a picture that conveys…

I chose to do this assignment for one of my five this week because I love shoes. I have over…

This is my third Daily Create of the week. We had to make up a fake statistic and I did…

Unbelievable, but true, whatever search engine throwing these results must really turn people off before they find what they’re looking for. As I am unable to download the .gif for whatever reason (it has stayed on 2% for 15 minutes), here is the link to the online version.

Oh hey! We’re finally done with week two! So this week was all about graphic design and I felt kind of bittersweet about it. I love graphic design when it doesn’t require animation, but I was definitely going to try my best regardless. Overall, I think I completed the assignments rather well…I did have to go back and update a…

Well hello again. I decided to do a 4-star design assignment rather than re-doing one from earlier this week because…reasons. But for today’s assignment I went ahead and did the PSA Billboard which I found very rewarding. For those of you who don’t know…I absolutely despise a good 99% of Virginia drivers. I have literally driven in other states and…

The Story Behind the Story- I love puns, inside jokes and chemistry. This is a T-shirt that I would wear with pride, extremely nerdy pride. This past semester in biochemistry, we discussed a large number of co-factors, more commonly known as vitamins. These are the functional portions of enzymes, the proteins that carry out all …

The biggest thing I learned this week was how to embed sites. For a long time, I thought attaching links meant embedding but I see now I was wrong. I tried to include all important aspects for each assignment and I think I’ve improved since last week. 1. The daily creates were pretty straightforward. I …

Everyone debates on the best phone and most are between the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. I myself am trying to figure out if I should leave my beloved iPhone behind and switch to Samsung. It’s been on my mind for awhile and that’s why I decided to make this. Here’s some fake data I made about …

While doing this assignment, I realized there’s a lot more to things than what meets the eye. Companies do a good job of incorporating these design concepts into their work to make them visually appealing and rememberable with a hidden message. Symbolism Below is a picture of a t-shirt I have. Pratt & Whitney is an …

I think some of the key principles of design rely on the fact that human beings like both patterns and opposites. After reading up on the design principles provided to us, my impression was that I should always be striving … Continue reading →

Anyone up for a movie night? I sure am! I’ve designed quite a few posters for events I’ve organized as an RA, but I’ve never used a computer to make them. I thought it might be useful to try my … Continue reading →

You can learn to be an artist, regardless of your major or interests you can incorporate what is learned through this class. You can hone these acquired skills and take them in numerous directions. I cannot use my major and minors as a means of avoiding my creative expression. I think that recently I have …

Finally!!! The last post of the week before tomorrow’s summary. CAN I GET AN AMEN? For today’s daily create, we were asked to take a photo of something from a different perspective…I think I was able to conquer that in a nice and poetic manner. #ds106 #tdc2006 i normally like to look at nature through the perspective of blooming colors…

Oh lord, what have I done now. This week’s final design assignment was one I’ve been wanting to do for a while…design a t-shirt. Having been blogging for 5 years, t-shirt designs are something I have done once or twice for promoting purposes rather than franchising. Say for instance, when I go to a concert or a relatively large event,…
