Book Revamp

Assignment #3 For my final assignment I decided to make a new book cover for a classic book from the Creative Action Network. I have been reading a lot of books recently so I felt like this would be an assignment I would really enjoy. I chose a book I have not yet read before but heard a lot about, Anne of Green Gables. I used canva to make the book cover and got inspiration for the cover by looking up images of the book/movie on google!

Assignment #2 For my second assignment I decided to make a missing persons poster for a fictional tv/movie character. In my previous assignments I have said that my favorite tv show at the moment is Golden Girls, so to carry on that theme I made a missing persons poster for Rose Nylund. I included facts about Rose from the show and include some inside jokes only people who have seen the show would understand! I used the canva website again to make this poster!

Assignment #1 For this assignment I chose to make a poster for a charity, real or made up, to inform the public. I chose the charity “Fairy Godmother Project”, which is a real charity based in Fredericksburg. I wanted to make a poster for a real charity that was close to Mary Washington and had something to do with children. I found this one that really stuck out to me because it helps parents and children who have been given cancer diagnosis. I used the website canva to make this poster and all the information on the poster came from ...
When You Need to Be Motivated to Be Un-Motivated

Because of my dry humor, I did not hesitate to do the Contradiction Creation design assignment. I love motivational quotes just as much as the next person, but sometimes they can be a little (no–very) cheesy, and what better to destroy all this positivity than with a dash of pessimistic realism? At first, I wanted to do something related to “fitspiration,” but when I saw this picture of a bird flying into the horizon, I changed directions and just scrolled through un-motivational quotes. I decided on this one because, if you think about it, it’s very true.
Have You Heard of “Yosakoi”?

???????????????Do you know yosakoi? I am not–and never will be–tired of bringing in my Japan adventures into my work. When I decided to do my third design assignment on an Event Poster, the first two things that came to mind were bhangra and yosakoi. However, the first actual event that came to mind between those two was the yosakoi festival, which is held annually every August for three days. Yosakoi is a type of Japanese dance that’s very energetic. My explanation won’t do it any justice, but if you watch performances, you’ll see what I mean. In Akita, there’s yatose, ...
A Little Less for a Little Mermaid
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
So far, this design assignment has been the most challenging for me, and I would like to say that this is because I didn’t know how I wanted to approach it. I decided to do a Minimalist TV/Movie Poster for Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989). What initially came to mind was using a blue gradient background with silhouettes of Ariel as a mermaid reaching up to the surface and Eric at the top whereas Ariel as a human would be sinking down and Ursula would be waiting at the bottom, but then I remembered that this was supposed to be ...
80’s Karaoke Poster:
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment I decided to use Canva to make a Karaoke night poster that I would see on a college campus like ours. The bright colors not only represent the 80’s but would also be to catch a student’s eye while they are quickly walking through campus. I incorporated the famous ABBA song “Dancing Queen” in the middle of the poster saying “Lets live out our 80’s dreams and be dancing queens” because lets be honest, who doesn’t want to dance to ABBA. This looks like an appealing poster that I would be interested in learning more about. Canva ...
Lyric Typography Poster

I chose this song because it is not only my favorite song, but gives also gives a really inspiring message. Seeing this song is such a moving moment which is why it means so much to me. I also decided to choose this song because it has a lot of visual elements to it which would be fun to make into a typographical poster. This assignment brought back lots of fun childhood memories because as a kid I would draw lyrics to songs all the time (mainly One Direction and Taylor Swift haha) but it was really cool to get ...
Can You Guess the 80s Movie?
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Now that I finally have a bit of a break in my week, I did my first design assignment, One Story / Four Icons on an 80s movie to tie it to our course theme. All of the icons are plot related, whether they pertain to a specific part of the story, the story as a whole, or a particular character. I used clipart for my icons, inserted them into PowerPoint, exported it as a PDF, and then exported it again as an image. What 80s movie do you think I’m referring to here? Comment your thoughts below!
Wanted: Captain America

Spoiler Alert: This post will spoil Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. During my weekly deep search into the assignment bank, I came across the Missing Person assignment and thought it would be amusing to do the assignment with a fictional character. This assignment requires you to make a missing person poster with some required information, but I decided to take a twist on the assignment and do a wanted poster instead. As mentioned on my website and in my last blog, I just watched all of the Marvel/Avengers movies over winter break and fell in love (and ...
