Starting off the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were to be completely honest, at the beginning of the week, I had little to no motivation. But, I saw that some of the tasks was just increasing our participation, as well as voting for our favorite creations in the class so far, so I decided to start working on that. This is one of my favorite things to do, because I like to see what my peers are doing and creating. It is also interesting to see how they interpret the assignments and the daily creates, and how they are all so different and unique. It was hard to pick my favorites for the voting form, since they were so many awesome digital creations to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readings<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I loved the readings and videos for this week. As mentioned in my blog post about visual design<\/a>, it was very interesting to hear the thought process behind such iconic movie posters and tv show intros. The color, font, spacing, layout, pretty much everything plays a role in conveying a message that the viewers will engage in. Getting to hear the backstory or reasoning behind movie posters such as Star Wars, as well as the intro for Stranger Things was definitely very cool, and it makes me want to look into more about visual design and how it is used to promote media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photoblitz<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I found the photoblitz<\/a> to be fun, as the prompts were pretty random and allowed me to think outside the box a little. The prompts ranged from pretty straight-forward to interpretive, such as “your favorite color” to “what does disappointment look like”. Ideas came to my head quickly, but executing them was the more difficult part, but overall this was a fun, quick activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Creates<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Daily Create #1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday’s daily create was to create an Anti-Word-Cloud<\/a> with a random book, which I chose to do Anna Karenina since I have never read it, but I want to read it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Create #2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the second daily create, we had to pick our favorite sandwich<\/a>, and determine how “woke” it would be. I chose a classic grilled cheese with ham, as it is one of my dad’s favorites to make. If I were to give it a woke rating, it would be a 2 as it is a traditional, American food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Create #3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the last daily create for the week, the prompt was to do a photo with bad photoshop<\/a>. What immediately came to my mind was to badly photoshop two celebrities. So, I decided to do Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who were the stars of the biggest, pinkest movie of 2023, Barbie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assignments<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

For the first assignment of the week, I decided to do the destress and color assignment, as it was a great way to wind down and take a quick break from all the busy work I have throughout the week. To take a peek at what I colored, as well as my reasoning and thought process behind it, read it here at Destress and Color<\/a>. For the second assignment, I did a “What’s in my bag?” for my course character, Veronica Malone. This was probably my favorite assignment, as it allowed me to be creative with what Veronica likes or dislikes, as well as what items she would want to have on her at all times. To read more on what Veronica would have in her bag, read What’s in Veronica’s Bag?<\/a>. Lastly, I wanted to make a graphic for one of my favorite sports teams, the Buffalo Bills. I follow the team page on social media, so it was fun to make my own graphic that looks like it would be on their social media page. To see my beautiful graphic, click here Go Bills<\/a>! Overall, I enjoyed this round of assignments! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed the lighter workload for this week, as it was easier to manage my time and when to complete each assignment. If I had to pick one of my favorite creations, it would probably be the Bills graphic, as it was so much fun to play with colors and fonts to see what looked good. Overall, this was a good week, and I am ready for next week’s workload as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
