For this week’s sketch, I drew inspiration from the Cocktail Construction Chart that was posted on the sketch assignment instructions, so I decided to create my diagram on powerpoint instead of drawing them out by hand. I tried to make it look like an architectural diagram by using a tan colored background and shades of black and gray for the text and pictures. While planning for this diagram, I wanted to portray my learning and thinking processes for this class in…
For this sketch assignment, I chose to replicate a picture of a car, and I completed this assignment on a free pixel art website. My first attempt was a failure because the first picture I chose was a car at an angle, and I found it extremely difficult to depict more than 2 dimensions with 256 pixels. So, I found this picture instead which had the car straight. Because this picture was very detailed, I had to let go some of…
This piece is made from pg 9 of Ragged Dick. The words I have chosen go in this order: unhappy, tried to break free, But failed, swallow fate, Life. It veers towards the more negative vibe. I think these set of words could have several different meanings for different people, but for me, I take it as being stuck in a perpetual cycle in the norms of society. It is a rather pessimistic view of the world, but I take it…
For this sketch assignment, I knew I wanted to recreate a horror movie scene in a library. One because I personally enjoy horror movies and two because libraries look somewhat the same universally so I thought that a library could be a good background to match any scene that involved shelves of books. I haven’t watched this movie, Kristy, but I thought it would be fitting since it is a story about a girl who decides to stay on campus for Thanksgiving…
As the producer, I wanted to do a podcast over TV entertainment because when we did an overview of the current podcasts during class, it was noted that none of the episodes really talked about media entertainment. So, while browsing the web for something “new media”, I stumbled upon an interactive children’s TV show called Puss In Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale on Netflix. Intrigued by the “interactive” label, I sat down and went through this particular episode on my…
For this sketch assignment, I chose to do visual note taking for my anthropology class about biological evolution and behavior. As it was suggested, I first took notes digitally in class on a google document. Then I took the notes I had and the lecture pdf to create this visual, and I decided to create this visual on paper. I organized my notes in chronological order, and I used red arrows to indicate the…
In creating this cinemagraph, I knew I wanted to do something with water. From the ones that I browsed through, I thought the ones that had water elements looked the most interesting because of the stark contrast between the fluidity of liquid and the motionless background. So, I had my friend create a tornado in his water bottle, and I recorded him. I then imported this video file into Photoshop to edit. I actually had great difficulty with photoshop because…
Katie stumbled upon the website PatientsLikeMe on Soul Pancake (our topic for our last podcast) while she was working as the assistant producer, and she approached me with the idea of using this as the topic for the next podcast. I was immediately intrigued by this new media platform because I had worked in a pediatric office before, and HIPAA was strictly enforced to all of the workers, and so I thought it would be very interesting to talk about PatientsLikeMe…

For the movie montage project, I chose the movie Begin Again. In this movie, a record label executive, Dan Mulligan, is fired from his own label, and he struggles to find inspiration and an artist he truly believes in among all of the over produced, styleless singers he sees in this modern age. On a hopeless night he encounters a woman named Gretta James at a pub singing an original song. Dan Mulligan is struck by her originality and her presence…
