After Andrew Nedimyer’s talk I was inspired to begin collaborating with some of my Design classmates I admire. Dunham has a good eye and a lot of skill with Illustrator. Last week I spoke to him about getting together to work on a project. I’m hoping to mock up/improve a brand and create some packaging […]
Blog number 1 has been a series of pivots. At first I believed I had enough time to accomplish something truly delicious. I was playing around with the idea of redesigning a drink brand, much as my classmate Dunham has done for his website. I thought it would be a good chance to build portfolio […]
For my blog assignment I really tried to push myself. I was inspired by Steve Hansen to create a 3D rendering. I’ve only had the briefest experience with Blender so I thought this would be a good opportunity to learn the ropes. That being said I tried to make it as delicious as novice 3D […]
For my blog assignment I chose to revamp the outdoors space. It’s a space with a lot of potential which is currently being underutilized. In its current form the area provides little shelter from the rain or sun, the round planters look out of place and ill kept and the furniture is old and uncomfortable. […]
So far I’ve only had brief interactions with the students in the VME program. Through these interactions I’ve begun to understand how our industries are interconnected. Designers and visual media workers have a close relationship. I’ve seen how they can work together in the game industry, such as Jessica Aceti’s experience filming commercials for children’s […]
In my work as a tap master at Rachel’s Ginger Beer I always made it a point to display customer obsession whenever I could. From providing sample trays of literally every single flavor we had on tap, to texting customers receipts their from my personal phone hours after a transaction just to help them out, […]
As someone who often says “no” to things it’s hard to think of many situations I’ve said yes to without being absolutely physically and spiritually prepared. I suppose there was this one time where I and my roommate signed up for the Georgetown Super 8mm Film Festival. I had never even touched a super 8 […]
Imagine a world uncrowded with tacky gravestones. Where the dead can update their dated styles as the years pass. What ephemera will carry your memory into the future? Or is your future already set in stone? Thus was the impetuous for our project: AR Headstones. A monument to your life that won’t break your budget. […]
This week I reviewed Flat Pack. The game itself was fun. I thought the retro style and soundtrack was great. The level design was creative and gameplay flowed smoothly. Unfortunately, that smooth gameplay was lost in AR mode. The creators made a valiant effort trying to translate the dynamic level design into 3D space, but […]
I’m hoping to concentrate my efforts on building a career in UX Design. UX Design is a broad audience field with a focus on accessibility of design. In my Interactive Design class I’m learning how to create an accessible web page by incorporating user stories. When collecting stories, it’s important to get a broad sample […]
