For my first design assignment of the week, I did an otherworldly distortion assignment (worth 1 star). I used a picture I took of the alps when I was visiting Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and distorted it so the mountains were red. I got the inspiration for this form Doctor …
One thing that really rubs me the wrong way is when girls show up to class wearing crop tops. Crop tops are party going outfits, not classroom attire. Wearing a crop top to class makes you look unprofessional. Professors do not care to see your stomach and lower back. Other …
Sketch a Picture | Sketch a picture and place the drawing next to the picture. Who is the picture of and why did you draw it. Worth 2 stars. To stick with the Wire theme for my assignments, I chose to sketch… Continue Reading →…
