Social Media Do's and Don'ts

Social Media is the worst thing ever invented. I truly believe social media should not exist, even though I probably open my Instagram app over one hundred times a day. Social media's rooted in pride, being a way for people to brag about the highs in their life, but it just leads to people over editing and over looking life and life experiences. People have become consumed with taking pictures with the sole purpose of posting them, and life experiences have almost become just another photo op. People have begun to miss what's right in front of them because they are so consumed in what other people are doing and one upping other's experiences with their own. 

Best Designed Places/Museums/Architecture/Clubs This

This logo is for The Melt Down, a food truck in Seaside, Florida, that sells nothing but grilled cheese. I think their logo is very playful and creative. I especially love their typeface they chose for their logo and the fact that they decided to include their location (30A) on their logo because 30A is a very popular tourist spot and their logo serves as an advertisement by itself, which is very clever.

This logo is the logo for the North Point Ministries High School Student Ministry, InsideOut. I enjoy this logo because I think the circle logo is interesting and not very obvious towards its purpose.

Music/Band Design and Music

I enjoy the simplicity of this album cover. The darkness of the cover contrasts the calming music of the album, which I think is a very fascinating approach.

Although I am not a big fan of the type of this album, the yellow contrast with the black silhouette is very visually appealing, and this is most likely my favorite album of music of all time, so the visual of the album cover is constantly on my homescreen. Unlike the last cover, this cover very much symbolizes the calm, happy music of the album.

I enjoy the playful, child-like mood of this album cover, which very much symbolizes the music of this album. The typeface of the album name is very 60s and very visually appealing, and although the "Brother Records" logo isn't very appealing, it almost fades into the background.

This is the cover of Jack Johnson's newest album, and it very much resembles the others, including "In Between Dreams" seen above. This cover is very visually appealing due to the type taking up the entire cover and the visual flow of the type around the figure.

Complete this sentence:

"Each week I feel as though I must check in with..."
Each week I feel as though I must check in with God. My creativity stems from the Creator, and my relationship with Him is what inspires me to create. I believe that the Lord puts attributes of Himself in each of His people, which connects us to Him. I enjoy creating, especially painting and writing, and I feel as though my creativity links me to Him and are His fingerprints on me.

SIMPLE CHARITY!!! These tshirts are hand made by Simple Charity, a student organization that raises money for extreme poverty, using a stencil and bleach or spray paint. I think it. is extremely creative and a form of art due to the fact that the students are hand creating each one and each one turns out a little bit different.

Passion Conference 2017 t-shirt design: I consider this a form of art due to the fact that it is original, and it is more than just typography on a t-shirt.

Weekly Blog Post: Inspiration 2/6

One artist I find particularly inspiration is Howard Finster. He is an American artist and a Baptist preacher.  I think he's super cool because he uses this folky-pop artist art form in order to spread the gospel in his own unique way despite the social norm for religious artworks. He has entered a field of very liberal art forms, and he uses this form to display his beliefs and do what he feels he has been called to do, creating interesting pieces in the process. I, especially, admire his style of work and how each of his pieces is clearly his. I hope to develop my own artist style over time, and I am very interested in the styles of other artists.

Weekly Blog Post: Inspiration due 1/30

I am a ridiculous Bob Ross fan. I admire the way he starts with a blank canvas and just begins to paint and allow the medium to do all the work. I also admire his calm mindset and how stress free he paints. I, personally, prefer to mimic this painting method by starting with a blank canvas to start my landscape paintings, which are my absolute favorite form of art. I think that landscapes are underrated in their critique. Many believe landscapes are boring and dull, but they're my favorite form of art due to the fact that each artist has their own style of painting, even if its photorealistic, all artists leave behind their mark and highlight what they find beautiful in nature.

Weekly Blog Post: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly 1/24

THE BAD: This logo bothers me due to the fact that it doesn't convey the application very well. It gives Snapchat, an app usually seen as fun and playful, an eery  feel.

THE GOOD: I, especially, enjoy the look of older, vintage advertisements. The style of these images inspire me, and I truly believe this style creates a great image no matter what it is advertising or displaying.  

THE UGLY: This advertisement had me cringing upon first sight. Although this advertisement contains a vivid image displaying the overall message well, it is disturbing to look at, which takes away from the meaning of the ad.
