My Motivational Poster This photograph was taken by me on the best trip of my entire life: Australia! For almost three weeks, I backpacked with my best friend all over the southern part of the beautiful country. Our trip took up the large majority of my past winter break, in between the Fall 2013 and […]

Try And Guess My Favorite Movie! This movie and I go way, way back. All the way back to the year 2000. I was almost 9 years old at that time. The movie is based off a true story and is an incredible display of people of all races coming together during the difficult time […]

1.  Function Well, the function of a beer bottle is normally only to drink from it.  However, here my mom decided to change its use by converting it into a vase.  It was pretty effective as something to drink from since she did drink it first, but its shape also makes it effective to hold […]

Okay horse and buggy generation, all settle down and I will tell you of the futuristic twitter that I just conquered last week. Lets say you have a small piece

Okay, so I can tell you’re a bit new here. You know typewriters, right? Great things for automating the writing process. Now, imagine almost everyone has one. Hold that picture in your mind. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard of telegraphs too. Send simple, near-instant messages to anyone who has a line and knows Morse code […]

,,,and I try to explain what Twitter to a person 100 years ago. You know the party line you have traveling from yard to yard in your neighborhood that allows you to talk to your neighbors and others on the phone, but you have to wait for the line to clear to make a call. […]

For my second design assignment, I decided to play around with how the meaning of a word can be reflected in how it is written. Here is what I came up with: I think that I am not alone in saying that when I see newspaper letters cut out and taped together to create a […]

Cartoon The Head I am going to take you through my journey for this design assignment, I started by looking for pictures of cartoons.

Design a Reading Poster. As a child, I grew up to the music stylings of 50 Cent. Though at times his lyrics were vulgar, I admired his life story more. He was a man who lived his life through great adversity and has triumphed. He was raised by a mother who worked as a drug dealer. […]

This photo was an easy choice for me as the Quarter-finals for the World Cup are going on. Today Brazil and Colombia are playing at 4:00pm on ESPN. I found this picture on the big picture website.

The first thing that came to my mind when watching Kelli Anderson’s tedx talk was the different things I used to make out of paper when I was a kid.  We made all kinds of airplanes and ‘fortune tellers’ and snowflakes and flowers to last us a lifetime.  But, I never thought that I could […]

So I thought about it and decided that I didn’t want it to be boring and then I remembered! A few months ago, when the new doctor for doctor who was chosen, I saw a picture posted on facebook […]

I don’t know why I choose this daily create, I think I just thought it would be fun but it did take me a few minutes to figure out what I was going to be doing. But once I did, I thought it was just the right amount of funny and yet serious. Okay, for […]

I chose this daily create because I can take a picture of anything I want! I mean, Hello! This can show people how you are feeling or what your thinking at the time of the photo or post. Or it can be totally random, or you can just be screwing with people’s heads. That is […]

Kelli Anderson (Kelli) speech in the TedxPhoenix Talk had similar tones of what I observed Dr. Wesch was saying from last week. The new media is offering wonderful tools to address social issues as we saw with Kelli’s artistic manipulation of the New York Times. This exercise was a great demonstration to its readers; a […]

My super hero would always have exact change for everything he ever needed to buy down to the penny. I would simply just take it out of his pocket. His

We all hear things that go bump in the night, or at least sounds we sometimes cannot explain or identify. Well that has been an ongoing issue in my yard for years. We hear this owl like sound usually at dusk, but mostly at night (rainy ones too) with minor “call” changes at times. There was a […]

Today’s daily create is to take a photo of anything. So, naturally I was stumped. I had no idea what to do or what to take a picture of. I had just woken up from a nap, following an exciting day at work. After minutes of deliberation, I decided to take the picture of my […]

I am amazed by how creative Kelli Anderson is.  I wouldn’t be able to imagine the things she does even if I tried!  That’s part of what makes this class difficult for me – I’m an extremely uncreative person but this class forces me to try to discover my creative side. I had never even […]
