Newsweek on Hamsterdam
As we enter this final stretch of assignments for the final project, I try to incorporate more ways to reflect on Bunny Colvin’s actions and character. The thing he’s probably most known for is his establishment of Hamsterdam. This assignment to create a fake Newsweek cover seemed perfect for the …
Tutorial 2: Post-it Notes and Grocery Lists
This was a pretty easy assignment, but it was also pretty fun because you get to pretend to be someone else. For my character from the Wire I tried to make his notes as tuned into his life as possible and what I knew about him or could imagine him …
Emoji This
The first assignment I chose to do was Emoji This. I took 5 common emoji faces and then took pictures of Daniels expressing those emotions.

All kinds of courage
When I think of Bunny Colvin, I don’t really picture an artistic person. It’s challenging to think of assignments that relate to his role on The Wire. But a certain scene from Season 4 episode 11 inspired me.
Word clouds seem to be a pretty big thing today. And so …
Moving On
The Visual Assignment “Before and After” is about combining the past and present into a single image. I chose to do that with an image in a rear view mirror (that I placed there with the help of Photoshop). Here we have someone looking forward to what is down the …
