The Best Word Ever!
Without a doubt haphazardly is the best word in the English language. It’s fun to say, the meaning is fun, and it’s got a prefix and suffix!
How I made it-
To make this I used Canva. I, using Open Sans, made some letters large, some uppercase, and placed …
Visualizing Jams
Jams is a 80s slang term meaning a collection of music. I arranged the word Jams into the shape of a musical note.

The goal for this assignment was for this word to speak for itself. I decided to change the word effects to depict this word as you were looking at it from a different perspective. If you try to move your head closer to your screen and to the left you …

A Visual Depiction of “Ancient”
The Word assignment‘s image caught my eye as a visual depiction of “magic”. The individual letters told a story in addition to the overarching word itself. The assignment essentially gets the creator to start exploring the visuals that are evoked when we think of certain words. For my creation, …
Design Assignment – Word

Laugh
For this Design Assignment, worth 2 stars, we were asked to use a single word and a single typeface to communicate the word and represent it. The thought behind my word “laugh” and when I think about laughing I think about the belly/ gut laughs where you feel like …

For this assignment, we needed to describe a word by using only a specific font that we felt illustrated the word in its own typography. One font that I am very pleased with is called Bebas. Naturally, it is an all-caps …

This simple design assignment called for us to, without the aid of any other visual cues, not even color, choose a word and communicate it in a single typeface. The only thing you could use was size and shape. I chose a fance font that I thought looked …

The assignment is to write one word and not use an color or effects or anything and let the …
A Strong Word – Design Assignment 1
ds106 Design Assignment for Word PowerFul
I picked this word because to me it represents strength in what you do. You may talk about a speaker, but once you put the word powerful in front of it, you are stating this person is an expert in what they do and …

DS106 Design Assignment #2
For my second design assignment, I decided to play around with how the meaning of a word can be reflected in how it is written. Here is what I came up with:
I think that I am not alone in saying that when I see newspaper letters cut out and …

For my second Design Assignment of the week, I decided to tackle Word. I love using color and images as symbols, so I knew this would be a challenge for me. I tried creating something around the word “Sunshine” in the spring time theme of my blog, but …
Word Assignment- 2 Stars
For this assignment, I had to think pretty long and hard about which word I wanted to use. Then, I was cleaning out some stuff, and found my old Lucky Brand hoop earrings, which are in a peace sign. At this point, I just finished my design safari, …

I had thought about doing disorganized, then I thought about doing silly, and a few others like lazy, red (in red font), and long (lllllooooonnnnnggggg), but I liked the idea of backwards. I just thought it was a cool idea, although not super duper original because everyone does backwards…
If it’s not forward…
The word assignment was to create a word, and only use the word to describe what it was. This assignment was worth 2 stars, and I decided to use the word backwards by writing it backwards. I thought this was a nifty idea, and kind of ironic.…

Fancy Word
So the assignment was to select a type face that represents the word you are typing. I thought this was pretty easy. There are many “fancy” swirly, cursive writing fonts on Microsoft Word. So I just picked the one I liked, copy and pasted it to Paint so I could…

Word Play
After seeing Yue’s creative “Fish” entry for the DS106 Word assignment, I decided I wanted to give it a try too.
At first I wanted to ‘Tangerine’ with the ‘T’ as a stem and the rest of the word circling it, but sadly it looked too much like a melon.…
