  • Prepping for week 9

    This week was extremely chill, which like another classmate mentioned in their blog, it kind of gave me anxiety. I read over this weeks plan multiple times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

    I was able to find my group relatively quickly. We’ve already agreed on a story line for our radio show. Our whole group of characters are Femme Fatales, so we’re going to base our show off of that and talk about random topics as our character.

    I’m really excited I feel this will be more difficult then it sounds, but i’m ready for the challenge. We’ve shared contact information and we agreed to meet Monday to talk about the radio show.

    One thing I’m excited about is to put a face to some of the blogs i’ve seen. I don’t know a lot of people in this class but everyone’s blogs look so cool so i’m excited to see the person behind the blog.

    Here are the three daily creates I decided to do this week. They aren’t super exciting as previous weeks, but I think they’re still worth a look.

    Daily creates

    I’m super excited to get started on the radio show next week. I’ve never done anything like this so it should be a fun experience. I’m also so excited to see what everyone else comes up with. Everyone is so creative it should be fun to see the finished project of everyones radio show.

    I hope you guys enjoyed, see you next week..

  • Week 8 creates

    I really enjoyed this weeks daily creates. Although they didn’t consist of a lot of creativity I still really liked the prompts.

    For Tuesdays create I decided to base the quotes off of one of my favorite Ariana Grande songs “breathin”. I thought this was a really cool activity you can check it out here!

    Tuesday

    I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but when I do get coffee I go for a caramel frappe with almond milk. Recently i’ve been ordering it a lot because it’s getting to the busy part of the semester and that unfortunately means staying up late or getting up super early to get work done.

    Check out here to see what I named after myself!

    Wednesday

    The final create of the week was on “pi day”. I had a feeling the create would have something to do with pi/pie and I was right.

    I decided to ask Gemini to create and AI generated pie. Check it out here!

    Friday

    I hope you enjoy the daily creates I uploaded. I still really look forward to seeing what everyone else uploads every week. I feel like my creativity is really getting better and it’s exciting to see.

    see you next week..

    Sincerely, Kristen

  • Super Fun Creates

    This week was probably one of my favorite week of creates so far! Not only did I really enjoy creating them I really loved seeing everybody else’s interpretations of the creates.

    I completed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays creates read and check them out here:

    For Monday’s create I created a GIf based off one of my favorite childhood movies “Alice in Wonderland (2010)”

    Monday

    For Tuesday’s create I showed the perspective the grass outside sees during sunset. Very beautiful view if you ask me.

    Tuesday

    Wednesday’s create was my favorite surprisingly. I don’t normally love creating stories or poems, but this one came fairly easy to me. Click here to read the 2 part post about the magical/mystical world of “Neverwinter”

    Wednesday (part 1)
    Wednesday (part 2)

    I hope you enjoy the creates this week as much as I did!

  • Lots of Creativity

    I really enjoyed all of the assignments this week. I love editing posters, videos, newsletters, etc which is what this week mainly consisted of.

    To start off I completed e daily creates this week Monday – Wednesday. I loved all the prompts especially the short story. I feel like i’m getting much better at the daily creates when it comes to creativity.

    This week I created a GIF based off my favorite movie, took a photo of the sunset from the grasses perspective, and wrote a short story about the mystical land of “Neverwinter”.

    For Wednesday’s create the only problem I ran into was the word count error. I wasn’t aware that there was a limit to the amount of words you can use, but it makes sense. This caused me to have to make 2 parts.

    Daily Creates

    The two poster assignments this week were super fun to create. I created one sports related poster and one newsletter based off the movie “The Terminator”.

    I created both assignments on Canva since i’m familiar with the site. For the sports poster I based it off my course character’s favorite activity after work, which is watching football with her dad.

    In that poster I explain why I used the colors, fonts, specific teams, and pictures to convey a certain emotion. Check it out here:

    Sports Poster

    For ‘The Terminator” poster I created it was a bit harder since i’m not as familiar with the film. I had to do some background work on the film to fill in the missing holes that could make my poster more exciting.

    In this newsletter I explain why I used the color schemes I did as well as the photos I chose to convey a certain emotion. Check it out here:

    Newsletter

    Overall this was on of my favorite weeks so far in terms of editing. I also loved seeing everyone elses daily creates and posters! Some honorable mentions are Rebecca’s Radiant Realm’s newsletter and @Coni’s Wednesday daily create short story.

    Hope you guys enjoyed week 7, see you in a couple of weeks!

  • Reporting From The Scene

    I decided to analyze and create a newsletter from this scene from the 1984 film “The Terminator”

    I have never fully watched “The Terminator” fully through, so one thing I had to do after watching the scene was fill in any missing pieces that would help me create the newsletter.

    This consisted of looking up why the Terminator was looking for Sarah, where the film is based, who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist.

    Here is the finished project

    I created this newsletter using Canva. I used a simple newsletter template and adjusted the font, photos, and colors. I bolded and added the color red to give the sense of urgency and terror which is what I would personally feel if I had an encounter with the Terminator.

    I added eye catching yet simple photos which is what I believe a missing or wanted poster normally looks like.

    This was a very fun creative assignment. I’m absolutely loving editing in Canva especially.

    Sincerely, Kristen

  • Battle of The Birds

    I’m a huge football fan (my personal favorite team is the Baltimore Ravens) and I plan to got into sports marketing after graduating. Also I have mentioned that my course character Krysta Ghosting is also a huge football fan and watches it to unwind after a long day at her restaurant.

    What that being said I decided to create a NFL game flyer/poster

    Here is the finished result:

    First I chose to do the Ravens vs Eagles because thats a huge eye catching rivalry. This game has always been a highly viewed and anticipated game in past years.

    Since this is a Baltimore Ravens home game I decided to add more of the ravens colors in the flier. I added a very minimal amount of eagles colors, but just enough for audiences to be able to identify the team.

    The purple, black and white is not only the ravens franchise colors, but the colors are also bold and eye catching.

    I used two different fonts “Alegreya Sans sc” font and “Mokoto” font. The “Alegreya” font is what I used towards the top of the poster. It has a sports like vibe to it which is why i picked it.

    I added the “Mokoto” font towards the bottom of the poster. I feel this font gives more of a video game type of vibe and I thought it would be cool to mesh the two fonts together.

    This has been one of my favorite posters i’ve created so far. I really like the color scenes and images I chose. I created this poster on Canva as well.

    Hope you enjoy!
