For this creativity exercise, I tried the “Photo Story” activity, where you create a story based only on a series of random photos. I picked a few unrelated pictures online and challenged myself to connect them into one story without planning it too much beforehand. At first it was difficult because the images did not…

Learning CSS has been interesting because it makes websites feel more creative and personal compared to just using HTML alone. HTML helped me understand the structure of a webpage, but CSS is teaching me how design actually changes the way a site looks and feels.

For this creativity exercise, I tried one called “Monster doodles” where you turn random scribbles and shapes into monster characters.I started by making random lines on paper and then used my imagination to turn them into different creatures with weird features and designs. What I learned from this exercise is that creativity gets easier when…

Learning html has honestly been interesting because I’m starting to understand how websites are actually built. Even simple things like creating headings, paragraphs, and adding links feel like accomplishments. One thing I’ve learned is that design is not only about making something look cool, but also about organization and making things easy to navigate. Even…

Paragraph shading so you don’t have to change the text against the background with a separate frame 3.https://youtu.be/IqxrzUAi2nU?si=xI9BeOM8CV9Xx_RY 4. Making text fit better into frames with ctrl b for editing 5. Using generative expand to fill in gaps in images instead of warping the image itself.

Something I wanted to learn is how to meld the text better with pictures in Indesign. There is probably a video about it but I want to try and find it myself, it’ll at least help me navigate, I want to incorporate more of my personality into the Indesign process.

Today’s creative exercise is one about colors, taking something you’ve previously made in design and turning it into something else without changing the content, just change the color. It makes you think about what emotions the colors convey and express with different pieces, adding more red or blue to a pallet to change the meaning…
