Major Project Idea


  1. The topic of my final project would be Anime Overload, which is an anime convention that's going to come here to Austin the weekend of August 8-10.
  2. I'd interview a few of my friends who are into anime.
  3. I'd take pictures of any cosplay materials that me and my friends have.
  4. I'll research information on Anime Overload from their site.
  5. The project will be made in InDesign and Photoshop as a Flier promoting Anime Overload.
  6. I will use Aurasma to help advertise as well.
  7. This is the best service to use because you use an app to view videos of what it's usually like at Anime Overload.
  8. They have videos on their site and I can use and videos of rping and cosplay I can make.
  9. I will transfer everything to the computer over my phone using Google Drive whenever I get knew material.

Straw Project



Front Pages of the World


  1. I'd say that my favorite Newspaper Cover would be from "Victoria Advocate" because the stories are compelling for those who are interested in events that happen close to home.
  2.  The Newpaper Cover
       3. Victoria, Texas
       4. Riverside Goats reach celebrity status is my favorite headline because it provides an interesting story about the Riverside Park overgrowth that's been there for 15 years and how this group of goats is clearing it, and made a dent in about two months.
       5. There are 4 stories on the front page today.
       6. All newspapers have a top front cover with a large font article title and a large picture. Next to it, may be part of an article, and under that is usually another article with smaller font title, and ads to the side.
       7. Things that may change could be how the pictures are set up, and how many articles are on the each page. The font style could change, as well as exact size of the font.

5 things for In-Design


  1. Yearbook Design
  2. Newspaper layout
  3. Magazine Covers
  4. Advertising
  5. Wallpaper Design

Caption Writing Warm-Up

Why: To show one of her only forms of happiness in this kind of society.
When: Tuesday
How: On a rope swing that she probably had to make on her own, with a look of surprise or disdain. Probably not used to seeing new people who take an interest in her life.

The Break

My break was, I would say, distracting. For the first few days I went Dallas with the band, then the rest of the week I was pretty much cleaning, roleplaying, and card fighting. Then on Sunday I had to work a fundraising shift for my band and that left me pretty exhausted.

Coldest You've Ever Been

I don't know, but I think the coldest I've ever been was when I lived in North Carolina and it was a snow day. We went outside and played in the deep snow, and it was fun till I went inside and the snow in my clothes melted, then silly me, decided going back outside would help.
