What would your story look like as a video game? Think about characters, the setting they’re in, and important moments in your story. If you make cover art for a game, what do you choose to include to convey an interesting and attention grabbing cover, and what do you leave out that may beinteresting but give away too much imformation? If you’re making a cutscene how do you frame your characters in a way that gives proper emphasis to what you want the audience to see? What style do you want your story to be told in? Look at all sorts of different video games for inspiration, and get creative! Use whatever program you think would get you to your goal best. Collages, videos, live action, pen and paper, whatever! 

Using an editing software, edit a photo and crop to an 11×17. Then add text for the location or something fun.

Using Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator or similar- find a photo you like and create text that warps to the shape of the photo. I used Photoshop and the pen tool to create a selection and then I added text to the selection and filled the entire space.

Using adobe photoshop or comporable, create a poster for a sports team. Include multiple picture, Logos, text, and Color. 

This is building off of the Poetry Art assignment and is an exercise how design choices can change a message. Put your selected poem together with a background that emphasizes the message. Then make 3 different versions by varying the typeface, type layout, and type color to see how it impacts the message over all.

Explore how the PhotoChrome site generates a color palette based on images from a word search in Unsplash. Pick a word that you think might generate interesting colors, and see what colors ir produces. Download the image generated and incorporate on of the reported images into it, maybe with a lot of opacity. See if people can guess the keyword when you tweet or blog your image.

Design doesn’t NEED to get difficult or require brain power! Have fun with it and be creative! Maybe use a couple design principles if you’d like but for this assignment I want you to time travel back to your childhood OR maybe even the now if you still play! Hop on a game like Mincrecraft or other free world games that allow building and design your very own Cottage, Tiny House, or even a mansion if you want to go all out! This should be fun and relaxing but still put some effort in! Enjoy!
