I once said, “Always have faith in your dreams, it’ll eventually come true if you have faith in it.” I’m going to be honest here, when Professor Groom assigned us to read “The Vignelli Canon”, I was like “Wait what?” but as I read it afterwards I became interested …
Alright folks I’d like to tell you all about a recent trip I had across campus.
I read online that I had to do this little thing called a “design blitz.” Seeing as how I enjoyed the last blitz, I decided to go on a walk across campus. I searched …
The Vignelli Canon was interesting, even though some of it was outdated. I think the theory behind the method is still good though, even if the technology for making design is different.

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 …
While watching episode 10 of The Wire this week, I kept the list of design characteristics Jim listed in his assignment post in mind, just to see what would happen. I ended up taking quite a few screenshots, as many… Continue Reading →…
