  • Plans for after graduating

    After I graduate, I think I’ll be staying at my current job during the summer. I want to take time to continue creating different media projects to add to my portfolio and save up money, as my lease will be ending in September. I’ll try to do some freelance work here and there and…

  • Loki’s Turning 2!

    On September 7, 2023, we adopted our dog, Loki, from the Humane Society. We don’t exactly know his birthday, but we have it estimated to be somewhere in March. We chose March 10th as his birthday (Mario Day! MAR10), so this March, he’ll be turning 2! Adopting a dog while going to college has…

  • Self Promotional Video

    We finished our pre-planning for our promotional videos a while back and are starting to work on executing the plans. For my video, my main source of inspiration is a content creator named Linh Truong. Linh’s content utilizes color grading and visual doodle effects that I really enjoy, so I want to learn how…

  • Portfolio Campaign Results

    My classmates and I have all completed our portfolio show campaign pieces. We then set up our pieces in different sections of the room so we could go around and take a look. We were told to come up with two positive comments and two pieces of critique for each design and to pick…

  • Printing Magazines

    I was finally able to print out Resonance and get it all stapled and cut. I learned to use a scoring tool to help create an indent in the paper to allow a cleaner fold in the spreads. I then used this cool stapler that allowed me to get my staples in the middle…

  • Method Ad

    For this ad, I chose the Method brand shampoo. My original composition included three different scents of shampoo. Due to my procrastination, I didn’t get all three bottles. Instead, I took an image of the one bottle that I did have and did a close-up shot. With my camera, I adjusted the focus to…

  • Nintendo Switch Ad

    For this ad, I chose to do one of a Nintendo Switch. My original design was going to have an image of a group of friends playing with a switch, but due to my procrastination, I had to change my composition. I switched (haha, pun.) the design to reflect more on how Nintendo does…

  • Doritos Ad

    For this ad, my product was a bag of Doritos. For the revised image, I laid out some chips first before placing the opened bag. This was to prevent leaving any chip dust or residue in the lightbox. I then took an individual picture of one chip that had the right triangular shape that…

  • Pleasing Ad

    For this ad, I chose to do the Pleasing brand. Pleasing was founded by singer Harry Styles, someone that I’ve looked up to since he was in One Direction. It’s a brand that sells nail polish and other beauty products. For my ad, I used their nail polish for the product. The only thing…

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Ad

    In my magazine, this ad I created was for Adobe Creative Cloud. The original idea was I was going to use my desk setup for the imagery and have it be covered with sketches, tools, and my laptop opened to the Creative Cloud software. It was going to be a sort of reflection of…
