Creativity Exercise - week 2

 

     Hey y’all, welcome back to another weekly blog. This week’s exercise was a little weirder than usual, and honestly, that’s exactly why it was so fun. The whole idea is to take the first two random objects you see and mash them together into one new creation. The more mismatched they are, the better. Then you give your new invention a name, a tagline, and a little backstory about who would actually use it. For me, finding the items was a little bit difficult, but here is what I came up with:

1. Backpack Umbrella

Tagline: “Stay dry without lifting a finger.”
Idea: A backpack that pops up a full-size umbrella the moment it detects rain. 

2. Pillow Laptop 

Tagline: “Work hard. Nap harder.”

Idea: A soft, fluffy pillow with a lightweight laptop screen built in. Send that last email, flip it over, and boom, you've got a pillow ready to go.

 3. Sneaker Speakers

Tagline: “Walk to the beat of your own feet.”
Idea: Sneakers with Bluetooth speakers built into the heels. Your footsteps keep the bass pumping, turning every sidewalk into a personal studio just for you and your music.

I like this one because it doesn’t feel like “serious creativity work,” but it still gets your brain bouncing between totally unrelated ideas. And once you start mashing things together, it’s kind of addictive, every object in your house suddenly looks like it could be part of the next bizarre creation, or even better yet, your next craziest design. But that'll have to wait for next time! But, as always, it's fun to have you try these exercises. I'll 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...
