I really wasn’t sure what to write for this week’s medium entry, so I thought I just might go over my remaining to-do-list for this semester and my plans for the future regarding Capstone. So far I’ve managed to get a lot done including the style direction I want to…

This week I have the four quick studies that I produced in class on Wednesday. I tried to stick with the constraint of only using typography and color, but I did give in a little bit by using shape to highlight specific words in one of my studies. My thought…

I can’t really share any sketches or storyboards yet for the prompt. My plate was loaded up with stuff for other classes this week so I didn’t get to do a lot of crafty/creative work for Methodology. I’m planning on doing a lot of concept sketching and ideating work this…

In response to some of the feedback I’ve gotten so far on my faculty brief, I’ve been reflecting on how I can tighten up my topic space. I think I’ve been a little afraid to go too narrow, but I understand that currently I might be trying to bite off…
