This week was pretty easy and light on the work, which of course I very much enjoyed 🙂
I enjoyed the design theme of it. From doing theater in high school, I was always huge on design when creating the set. This allowed me to pick what colors/shapes would be best for drawing away/keeping the audiences attention. When we did the readings for this week, it refreshed my brain on just how much goes into creating designs. But I also enjoyed reading about all the different events that helped make designs what they are today.
I talk about it all in this post!
The next assignment that I had to do was the photo blitz. This one took me almost the longest any assignment has taken me this semester yet. I think thats only because I was so picky. I also tried to incorporate many different of the ideas (color, balance, rhythm, etc.) into the pictures. Look at the post!
Of course, as usual I had to do the daily creates.
The first one was all about what has bat boy been doing lately. I typed in on google bat boy, and a picture of him grown up is what came up! Which was perfect for the assignment!!
He's been growing up!#tdc2456 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/NHNpFmu3vw

The final daily create of the week was to post a picture of dunkin what? I’m pretty sure along with everyone else, the thought that popped into my head was Donuts! Dunkin Donuts!
Dunkin Donuts of course!! #tdc2459 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/qtTYxDNSC2

The last, and most frequent assignment was to do 12 stars worth on the design assignment bank. The first one that I picked was worth 3 stars. This assignment was to write our names out in very cool letters with a cool background. I thought it would be neat to write my name in Disney design letters. That was fun to do!
The next assignment was worth 2 stars. This one was to create a word chart of different words that describes our character we created earlier in the semester. With the help of a word art generator I was able to create one in the shape of a heart, which to me completely described my character!
The 4th assignment was to design our character. She may not have come out perfectly, but she did come out a lot like how she looks in my head! Â Which is so good! And it was worth 4 stars!
The final assignment to design a postcard for a location that I would like to go to. It was worth 3 stars. I tried to make it look the most French-like since I wrote one for France!
That’s the end of this week! Along with commenting I completed all the assignments due! It wasn’t that hard of assignments either!
