Creativity Exercise - Week 4

     

 

    Welcome back y’all! To the weekly creativity blog! Another week, another wild ride—but no matter how busy life gets, I’m always down to share some of the cool creative stuff I’ve been cooking up with y’all. Lately, things have been moving fast, but I found a little pocket of time to work on something that I’m really excited about and I had to talk about it here. Now usually, as y’all know, I like to do my exercises with family or friends—makes it more fun, more chaotic, and honestly just more alive. But every now and then, I get these quiet moments where it’s just me, my ideas, and some free time. .

    I basically took a clean photo and started playing with blur on everything except the main focal point. Using Photoshop, I messed around with masking tools and layer tricks to isolate my subject, and then just blurred the heck out of the rest. Not in a harsh way—more like a soft directional blur that draws your eyes in. Think like when a dream sequence hits in a movie and everything fades out except that one thing you’re supposed to focus on. But more importantly I wanted to base it on something that I usually feel on that day either it be on an emotion, topic, or just all around genre or mood, and with this weeks piece I went with. Anger.


This piece really summed up what I felt throughout that entire day, and it sure as hell wasn't a good one. But I want to be able to be as vulnerable I would like to with y'all as I want to get and especially about not everyday being a perfect one. But I hope you guys like it, because I sure do. And like always, ill see you guys. 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 ...

 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...
