“Don’t Jock My Style”

One of the things that stood out to me in this episode came right at the beginning. It was when the little boy was shot and killed in the gun fight. It made me think about the lives of the people who don’t even participate in the drug game and …

“Upgrade Your Life”

For my second daily create I did the empathy map. It didn’t take really long I just filled in everything according to what was happening at the specific time I did it. It was interesting to look at everyone’s work and then filling out the map myself. I liked to …

“We Will Understand If They Don’t”

For my final design assignment I decided to do the venn diagram (4.5 stars). At first I had no idea how I was going to do it. I was originally going to use Microsoft office as usual but I figured that wouldn’t work, so when I visited Professor Groom I …

“They Wait Around Like We Didn’t Notice”

The trading card assignment (4 stars) was probably one of my favorites to do so far. It took me an unbelievable amount of time to finish this assignment. I was over-thinking it way too much. I was trying to use photoshop for the longest time before I realized that I …

Waves

For my second design assignment I decided to do a typography poster (3.5 stars). I decided to use lyrics from one of my favorite artists Joey Bada$$. The song title is waves. I wanted to use Joey’s lyrics because the majority of his songs have substance. I wanted the lyrics …

Whip It Real Good

For the bumper sticker assignment (3.5 stars) I used the pixlr editor which is online. It took me forever to come up with my simple slogan. I was trying to be creative and didn’t want to sound like anyone else. I was discouraged when I checked out other people’s stickers …

Alive and Well

This week was a bit stressful and a little tense for me. I am starting to have a lot of work and it’s all getting in the way of other work. So I missed the tweeting this week and I really wanted to be a part of it. All I …

“The Yellow Tape Was A Warning Sign”

The thing that caught my attention in episode 8 of the second season of The Wire was McNulty and his drinking. First, I was hoping that he could work things out with his wife, but unfortunately that didn’t happen. His actions after he was turned away were like a commentary …

“Food For Thought, But I Tossed The Scraps”

I was totally blown away by the 7th episode of the second season of The Wire. The whole Barksdale organization has got me captivated. It is crazy that Stringer was behind the killing of D’Angelo. The setup was amazing. In the last episode that Stringer visited Avon he had me …

A Plan To Restore The Game

One of the things that stood out to me in the 6th episode of the second season of The Wire was Omar’s testimony. It was interesting to see him in that position. That being said when someone’s fate is in his hand I guess you can assume the worst. He …
