  • 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..

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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”

  • The Walk of Life

    The song “Cry” by Cigarettes after sex” is such an emotional song. I feel like the dark, sad, heavy, and eery vibes to the song can pretty much fit any movie ending that ends in heartbreak or any kind of sadness.

    The movie “Corpse Bride” is one of my favorite halloween and Tim Burton movies. I knew the movie ended in a sad yet happy heartbreak, which is very fitting to this song in my opinion.

    I edited this on TikTok which is something i’ve never done before. I’m not super happy with the audio so I plan to go in and perfect it more later.

    The reason I used TikTok was because it was the only platform that would let me upload my video without copyright restrictions.

    Since the song was already uploaded to TikTok it was easier for me to sync it the screen recorded video I made.

    Though it’s not my favorite outcome, I still enjoyed the assignment. Hope you enjoy!

  • Andrew Garfield Obsession

    Andrew Garfield has been one of favorite actors ever since I first watched “The Amazing Spider-Man” in 2012. Ever since then i’ve been following his work.

    I decided to do a mini compilation of some of my favorite scenes of his. These are just my Top 3 favorites, but all of his work is great in my opinion.

    The first scene in the video is from “The Amazing Spider-Man”. This was a very intense scene and I feel like you can really feel the emotion of the scene even if you don’t have any prior knowledge of what’s happening in the scene.

    I remember crying in the theater when I first watched this scene.

    The second scene is from the movie “Social Network”. This was also a very intense scene and has gone viral multiple times in the past.

    If you’ve seen the movie you probably understand how exciting this scene was for Andrew’s character and finally sticking up to Mark Zuckerburg’s character. This is a very iconic scene so I had to included it.

    Speaking of iconic, the final scene is ranked number one for a reason. Of course I had to include the scene where Peter Parker finally becomes “Spider-Man” in the movie “The Amazing Spider-Man”. This movie holds such a special place with me that’s why I included two scenes from the movie, but there’s so much more to include.

    I edited the scenes, transition effects, and music on “Canva”. I hope you enjoy!

  • Workout Compilation!

    This was such a fun assignment. I decided to make a montage of what consists of the term “workout”.

    I added about 12 clips and edited them on instagram reels. I then added some fun effects like transitions, text, and music on “Canva”.

    I feel like this short 30 second reel sums up what kinds of videos would come up if you just search the term “workout”. I hope you enjoy!
