Week 2 Summary
Week 2 has been a much less stressful week, mostly thanks to having reduced work hours. Now I actually have time to get stuff done! I did some Daily Creates. These were more silly than last week, and I really liked doing the AI generated music. My poem was inspired by the miserably humid Williamsburg […]

Motivational Poster!
“They’re not steep when you get to the top” my friend kept telling me as we climbed up a hill in Shenandoah. I was exhausted, having woken up at 5 am just to make the sunrise. We were almost at the top and finally I looked out from the hill and saw the valley in […]

Triple Rocktroll Lyrics
I’m so thrilled to see Korn tonight! Tom Morello, their guitarist is amazing! They’re my favorite nu metal band by far, which is saying a lot. One of their best songs is Chop Suey! I thought of genre that had similar artists I could “mix up.” I went with nu metal, a bizarre byproduct of […]

Are We There Yet?
It was meant to be a simple road race. Or at least, that’s what I thought. After being out of commission for weeks, I was eager to run again. One truck driver was not too happy that he almost hit me. He was probably on his phone or something. To show off his “bravery” and […]

Design Blitz
I did a “design blitz” in which I tried to find photos of design with certain qualities mentioned by renowned graphic designer Vignelli. I noticed I had some old Game Informer magazines which contains lots of good (and not so good) examples of graphic design. Image 1 (with the giant “X”) shows minimalism. It shows […]

VHS
I visited an antique shop to check out any old records and VHS tapes they had… Something caught my eye, and I couldn’t believe it. I saw an old copy of Birdemic: Shock and Terror, one of my favorite movies of all time! An absolute masterpiece with such original ideas and effects far ahead of […]

Vignelli and Timelessness
I read the Vignelli Canon, which is a booklet by Massimo Vignelli. Vignelli was a graphic designer, and his booklet can be split into 2 sections: the intangibles and the tangibles. I’ve already learned a little about the tangibles (grids, colors, font sizes), but learning about the intangibles (ambiguity, discipline, and visual power) was something […]

15 Minute Photo Safari – Reflection
When I was thinking of where to do the photo safari, I first thought of my schedule. I only had time to run or go to work, so I decided to squeeze time in after my morning run. I woke up at 6:00 am to run 10 miles. After finishing, I went back up to […]

Week 1 Photoreflection
This is my favorite photo I took for the 15 Minute Photo Gallery. It was taken at Chickahominy Bridge in Williamsburg, Virginia at 8:03 am. One of the photos was required to have framing around a center image, with the framing blurred out. This matches that description perfectly. The cold, industrial-looking steel railings are straight […]
