This week I worked on something different—building a title sequence for a made-up movie I created called Colorado. This title sequence came to me after watching a couple of nature documentary movies, and I wanted to create a special scene just like some of those that I have watched.

The vibe I had in mind was quiet and cinematic—wide open spaces, maybe a bit of mystery, and a lot of stillness. I used simple motion graphics, subtle blurs, and some textured overlays to give it that gritty, grounded feel. Finding the right font and timing the title to land with the music took the most time, but once it clicked, it really pulled the whole thing together.

Honestly, it felt good to build something from scratch like that, just for the sake of creating. No pressure, no deadline—just me experimenting with a concept I liked. Might even expand on the idea later, who knows.

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 ...

Exercise 1 - 3 Panel Story

July 09, 2025

Instructions Exercise 1: Mini Narrative Panels. Think of a simple everyday scenario – for example, “running late for class,” “losing and finding a pet,” or “preparing for a school presentation.” Your task is to tell that story in 3–5 frames or panels, without using any text (imagine it like a short comic strip or storyboard). Step 1: Identify the story elements in your scenario. Who is the character (maybe a student, a pet owner)? What is the setting (a dorm room, a park, a classroom)? What’s the conflict or problem (alarm didn’t go off, the pet ran away, stage fright)? What emotions will you convey (panic, sadness, excitement)? And what’s the resolution (they catch the bus just in time, find the pet at the neighbor’s, deliver a successful presentation)? Jot these down. Step 2: Sketch the panels. Panel 1 should set up the character and setting clearly. Panel 2 (and 3...
