Creativity Exercise - week 1

 

 

        Welcome back y'all! To my weekly Creativity Exercise blog! This week's blog starts us off with a new month and a new class full of possibilities. With everything to learn about Adobe's After Effects, dont get me wrong.. i'm very excited, but also a little scared I hope I can get through this month with not roadblocks, but we may never know until we move forward right?

    This week's blog is a recap of some of the exercise we actually did in class, and I would like to share some of my answer to said exercises we did in class. And of course to start us off, let's get into the first exercise that was presented to us. That being called "medieval McDonald toys" this exercise to start us off was a little weird at first glance, but like all creativity exercises we just need to dive into it to find out how weird it really is, and without further-a-do lets get into the answers.
 

  • "Mini Crown"
  • "Fake bag of gold"
  •  "mini castle globe"
  • "A robin hood mask & hat"
  • "Mini Princess doll / King / Queen / Prince"
  • "Mini Boat"
  • "Mini Mine cart with crystals"

    And those are my submissions, and when watching the video I was a bit confused on what this exercise was really about or was it just to get us started into the whole mood of creativity. But it wasn't at all what I thought it was, he explained the whole process of how our brains actually comprehended the task at hand and told ourselves that the first few would come easy and fast, and the most creative ideas would come last due the challenge and restriction given. And watching it I was actually dumbfounded on how he literally read my mind, and how it really shows the depth that creativity holds, and its not just something that you're "born" with.

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 ...

 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...
