Creativity Exercise Blog - week 3


Welcome back yall! To another weekly creativity exercise blog! this week is going to be a ripper of a week so I cannot wait to show you all what I will create, but without any more distractions. This week’s design stretch is simple: take the blandest item in the room and turn it into something weirdly cool, oddly charming, or straight-up ridiculous whatever feels right. The goal? Give personality to the products that usually don’t get one.

Here’s a few goofy makeovers to spark the vibe:

  • Paper Clips → “Clippy Dips”
    Bright neon clips shaped like funky squiggles, spirals, and little hands doing finger guns. Comes in a matchbox-style case labeled.

  • Tissues → “Sniff Snax”
    Packaged like snack bags. Each “flavor” has different scents (lavender, eucalyptus, pizza??). 

  • Canned Beans → “Beanie Babyz”
    Retro ‘90s vibes with holographic labels and collectible mascots for each bean type (Chickpea Chad, Pinto Paula). 

  • Rubber Bands → “Stretchy Bois”
    Comes in a paint bucket with absurd slogans like “Harness the chaos” or “Now 2% more snap!” Bonus: One golden band in every 50-pack.

  • Bar Soap → “Slippy Nugget” Crazy  soap blobs that look like tiny meteors. Comes in cartoonish pastel packaging with googly eyes. 

So yeah, grab that dull thing on your desk or in your kitchen drawer and give it the makeover no one asked for but everyone secretly needed, and go crazy with the names and have fun with it just like I did. But that all for this weeks exercise blog. 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 ...

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...
