The typography assignment that I did for my pr publications class was fun. I didn’t expect that I would learn as much about letter placement or font as I did. It was interesting how different fonts have different connotations and it seems as if they were meant for different types of messages. I always thought […]
Design things for the design amateur; including some of my personal favorite things, including Harry Potter and sunsets. Color: Probably the easiest of all the design topics to find. For my color concept, I decided to take a picture of the Oklahoma sunset– probably one of my favorite parts of…
7/46= My score to the poster letters game. Before this game, I always thought I was kinda decent at recognizing logos or brands by just glancing at a small piece of it. Boy, was I wrong. This game was really fun and showed me how fonts can really help “jazz up” a movie. Come […]
Apparently, I rock at typography games. Who knew? I think I’m going to drop out of school and pursue this. Tell me something I don’t know, Shoot the Serif. It appears I can identify sans-serif sans-problem. This was an interesting game, although I wasn’t as good as it.

For me, this was a fun opportunity to search for things around campus that displayed certain design elements. The five design elements that I found were symbols, […]
As I continue with the second week of my PR Publications course, I am starting to gain a deeper understanding of various design concepts. Our instructor gave us the chance to apply this understanding by finding examples of these designs, taking pictures and identifying which concept they represent. MINIMALISM & USE OF SPACE I love […]
For this Design Blitz Alexis Terrill, aka @drpancake, and I took a stroll through OU’s campus in search of objects that fit five of the Design Blitz categories. The five I chose were color, symbol, typography, balance, and minimalism. Color I chose this fire hydrant as my example of color, due to the contrast of […]
These 5 design concepts were interesting to learn about because I honestly haven’t put much thought into them until this unit. I was sitting at home thinking about what pictures I would find and honestly thought it might be tough. I decided to go on a walk and I immediately found things that matched each […]
