  • Moon Graffiti

    Moon Graffiti by The Truth Podcast did an amazing job with the into sounds creating an immersive audio as if I was there to hear all the sounds from the moon landing. All the audio they used came together amazingly to create a story. This is a great way to use only audio to create a story. The eerie sound effects did a great job of creating an atmosphere of the unknown

  • Week 3 Weekly summary

    This week was pretty easy regarding the daily creates. Only thing that gave me some trouble was the photoblitz challenge, some of the photo prompts were not common and I had to put extra thought into it to fulfill what the prompt is asking.

    The weekly assignments were pretty easy to create, and I enjoyed creating them.

  • Week 3 assignment

    This tattoo inspired by The Dark Knight Rises represents how batman fights for the right thing from the shadows and no matter how many times he fails he gets up and try’s and try’s until he succeeds and overcomes whatever he is fighting for. It also serves as a constant reminder that no matter how far deep you think you are to get up and overcomes any and all obstacles thrown at you

  • Week 3 Assignment

    This is a trading card I created for the character of DK that I created. I liked the mysterious aesthetic of the picture I found so I used that. DK is extremely smart so that’s why he got a 95 IQ he also is sneaky and is able to do a lot without being caught or noticed but his morals are constantly changing and confused

  • Week 3 design assignment

    This would be a great license plate for DK since he is amazing at staying low and appearing and disappearing without a notice. The plate spells out disappear while fitting into the character limit that is given when creating a plate.

  • PhotoBlitz

    I tried my best to find the pictures to match the prompts given but I realized that there was no way for me to get my hands on a printed newspaper. I used some small albums cover canvas I have hanging in my room and used 0.5 on the iPhone camera to make it appear larger than what it really is. For the number prompt I used an autograph jersey I have in my room because it is my favorite number. The shadow was interesting because even though in standing directly in front of the light source only my legs appear with no upper body. And the solid color I just used the first bright color thing I could find

  • Design reflection

    After watching the videos and reading the articles a thing that stuck out to me is that when creating anything it takes a while to get the idea to translate to the project. It begins as a general concept and oftentimes the creators have a general idea of how they want to go about it based on things they’ve seen that they liked. This inspiration can be found in many things, sometimes it is related to what the creator is trying to create and other times it can be completely different. Also color and colors schemes play a huge factor when creating, color is one of the first things the eyes recognize. Bright colors catch the eyes quicker than duller colors, but too many colors can also negatively affect the project by seeming as if there is too much going on.  

  • Week 2

    This week I created my character who is an anti-hero that was born in Atlanta, Ga. DK comes from the inner city and has seen and been through a lot which causes him to engage in some questionable things with flawed reasons and morals which results in the lines between good and bad to often become blurred and hard to tell what is right from what is wrong

    The daily creates this week were very interesting with the prompts that were provided. I did have a little trouble with getting the shadow of myself, but I found an alternate to provide the shadow that was needed.

    I also completed the weekly assignments and have them posted on this blog

  • Flim review

    Before I even thought about this class I have been hearing about black mirror for a while, and I thought what I heard about it was very interesting so when I see that it was on the list of movies and shows I decided to give it a watch. And it was indeed very interesting the way the show goes into the dark side of technology and the way it impacts society and human nature. The dark side is an uncommon perspective on technology most films show the good and how beneficial technology can be, that’s why I like the perspective that black mirror takes and showing what usually isn’t seen in media

    This dream house is a newer house that is updated with newer electronics and appliances. This house also provides a constant source of creativity due its abstract nature. It is also in a city that is known for its creativity.

    This design assignment is from the app that I downloaded to destress and color it came out better than expected. This is a very bright and colorful Japanese style building. Even though I wasn’t allowed to select the colors myself the color palette they gave me was very easy to use and allowed me to actually relax and complete this assignment.
