Creativity Blog - week 1

 

 

                Hello everyone! And welcome back to my blog! I want to start this blog off by saying it is amazing to be back to share my thoughts and great ideas with you all again. And to start off the week strong with a bunch of great projects to shows you guys, I cannot wait! While it has been some time since I have talked to you all last I still want to put out that I have been working and practicing hard on perfecting and gain new knowledge over the few months. And with new faces and great minds to add onto the table I cant wait to show and see what you guys have in store and all the creative stuff that we can put out.      

            To not hold much of  your time I want to share a little quick exercise that helped me a lot when I was out for the last couple of months. Project Limitations exercise, this exercise as the name suggests limits you to create a picture, story, book, movie, character, anything you can think of in less the 50 words to describe said creation. 

            This exercise is a great starter to pump your day and get your started with a productive day, or just to help you get jump started into your packed weekend and to keep your flowing with new and better ideas. This exercise really helped me during a period when Christmas came in and I was stumped on what to do during the break and I searched this exercise up, and man... All I can say is that in matter of days I had basically filled 3 pages of paper with random and goofy ideas to play around in Photoshop, illustrator, light room, or just plain out stories.

            This exercise is filled with lots of potential to brighten your day or get you started on anything, anytime. I hoped this exercise does help you all into getting that creative flow back into y'all and I cannot wait to show you all the stuff I have in store. But of course ill catch you all, on the next one! 👋

Designing Emotion- Week 2

Image
                       Hello everyone! Today I was tasked with a assignment that I would hold as one of my most challenging so far. This weeks project was orientated around emotion. To me emotion is one of the harder features that I struggle with as a designer. Emotion has been some of my greatest hurdles when it comes to designing, the thought process, the layer scheme, the image choice, the whole aspect what the emotion has to revolve under. But this weeks task was only to pick a song to design your piece around, and contact mainly on the emotion is gives off.               When it came down to main choice that I wanted to revolve around, my playlists are a mashup or every genre under the sun. My main motto when it comes to music is "If it sounds good, I'll like it" and ive stuck with that for most of my life. But that was just one of the many little hurdles that I got ov...

My Colleague.

Instructions Visual Voice Inventory.  Create a collage or slide show of 8–10 pieces of your past creative work (photos, drawings, designs, etc.). Analyze them as a set: Write down the first words or feelings that come to mind for each piece, then look for patterns. Do certain adjectives repeat? Do you see a consistent color scheme or subject matter? Next, ask a friend or classmate to view the collection and describe what they  feel  is  your  voice or style. Compare it with your own impressions. This inventory will help you identify elements that already make your voice distinctive. Based on this, list three qualities you  want  to emphasize more in your voice (for example: “playful humor,” “bold contrast,” “compassion for outsiders”). This list becomes a conscious target for your future projects.  Content   Reflection   Time Made Visible. Mesmerizing, Temporal, Distorted    Rain  Moody, Dreamy, Quiet ...

You Aren't Alone.

 Instructions   1 - Either A - Create a poster for an event, cause, or product that shows your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. Or B - Recreate a poster or Design that you have previously done, showing your understanding and application of Empathy, Composition, and Storytelling principles. 2- Create a detailed blog post that describes your visual choices and how you applied what you learned in Chapters 1-4 to make this poster tell a story.  Poster  For this project, I had the chance to create a poster of a movement, cause, or event of my liking. Or to recreate an old project of mine. At first I wanted to try and redefine and recreate one of my old projects, but looking back I don't really have any impactful type of creations..... But that's no worry. The image you see is made after a mental awareness movement. Since Men's Mental Awareness month recently passed past I wanted to try and give it a go with an organiza...
