Creative 

     So for this weeks creative exercise I went to innovationlab.com and used an exercise called squiggle bird. Its a 5 minute activity where you draw a bunch squiggly lines, 5 to be exact, on a piece of paper. You then turn those squiggles into a picture of a bird. This is what my bird looked like. 


    All thing considered, its not a bad looking drawing. The point of this exercise is to proves that our brains are designed to pick up patterns even among seemingly random nonsense. This was a very fun and quick assignment.

Design 

    Since I don't go out much, I decided this week for my design blog that I would analyze the design of something in my house. I ended up choosing the Dragon Ball Super poster in my room.

 


    I pictured me cropping the image and using the rule of thirds in my head. I realized the more important/popular characters were on the left or middle whilst the less popular one were on the right. This makes sense because we read from left to right (unless your in Japan) so the characters everyone knows and loves are gonna be on the left. Beerus (the purple cat thing) may seem like an exception but he isn't because whilst he isn't as popular, he is important, so he's at the top along with Whis.

Magazine ads

Magazine ads      This first ad uses icons like the PlayStation controller as well as the Switch to show what consoles the esports team uses. I also used the Smash bros and Overwatch logos to help me with this as well.  The next 2 are the same ad are of a library. The reason they are the same is because one is resized to be a full-sized page and quarter page. This ad is also for esports team again I used game play from the latest Fortnite season I used the blue background to compliment the blue text and whilst it didn't come out very visible, that fine because the ESPORTS letters in white came out super visible which was my true goal.

Designing the experience

Image
 Touchpoints     My restaurant, Cafe of Hope, has some unique touchpoints not seen in very many other restaurants. The first one that comes to mind are the employees. This is because the gimmick of the restaurant shapes each experience with an employee into a unique roleplay game. I created this touchpoint because I see as a fun, little game that can be played by both the customer and employee. Next, would be the tables themselves and anime poster around the restaurant. I created this touchpoint because they would be promoting not only the anime's represented by the restaurant but also the restaurant itself.  There are a few other obvious touchpoint like the restaurant business card and any tableware that we might want to put our brand on like the bottoms of plates.

  Horror Movie Poster Project     Below is the poster I made for a fictional horror movie called "Horror Island". The "cast" include my cousin, Isaiah, our friend, Joseph, and my 2 brothers, Eddie and Nick.

Little did they know, this island is filled with horrible monsters that want them dead. Legends say not even the mightiest soldiers can survive a week.
