Let’s Get Some Dinner?

This week A famous Restaurant owner in Greece fell in love with Sapphria Mae. The man even let her create her own Menu Design for the restaurant this weekend!

Her methods in creating such a stylish and elegant menu came from working on Canva. Her favorite stone is Sapphire which was what inspired her to use this deep Sapphire blue background color for her menu. All of the menu items are classic traditional Greek dishes and beverages. Sapphria chose these specific dishes because she grew up in Greece and these are her favorite. The menu is also minimalistic and doesn’t have a lot going on other than the text. This was done on purpose to keep it simple and divine.

You have the option of two choices for each course in this 3-course dinner. But before you start, please enjoy an ouzo martini which is a traditional Greek aperitif!

Yamas! (Cheers to our health)

*MISSING PERON ALERT* Where did Sapphria Mae disappear to?

For my next design assignment, I created a Missing Person poster for our beloved Sapphria Mae. Last seen on 01/29/2098.

I had fun creating this poster using Canva. I copied this poster image from the original assignment and then pasted it into Canva. Then I used the drawing tool to white out all of the input information and created textboxes to fill in her information. I also added a picture from her that I already had saved in my files and aligned it in the *insert picture* spot.

Her disappearance was very sudden, and the circumstances are still unknown. Hopefully we will be able to find her soon!!!

If you have any info please call +1 (800) – fem – fatal

WARNING!! Don’t Say the word DESTINY while reading this post!

In this visual assignment, I created a poster on Canva and uploaded two images of tattoo designs that represent Sapphria Mae’s superpowers and explains what she would do with these superpowers as a super “hero”. First, I want to say that Sapphria is only a hero to herself. My femme fatale character is charming, desirable, beautiful, very manipulative, fearless, and fierce. A force not to be reckoned with.

Below are the super tattoos that Sapphria Mae has. The first one is of leafy vines intertwined in her finger. This tattoo even has a name, called the “Love Spell Vines.” Her powers are actually activated through this tattoo when she points her index finger at a person and locks eyes with them. This power enables her to cast a spell of love on the person that she is talking to and basically make them so in love with her that they will believe in anything that she says or does to be true. Or she can motivate a person to want to do things for her. An example, “That person over there was so mean to me, I think you should go over there and punch them in the face” and that person would WANT to go do it because they are so deeply intoxicated by her spell. These powers could be used for the good or for the bad, but they truly define and express her inner femme fatale motives.

The tattoo below that is of a Chinese symbol for the word destiny. Destiny as we know it is said to be synonymous with meaning of fate. Events that will particularly happen in the future to a person or thing. Well, if Sapphria Mae can make you say the word “Destiny”, then she can decide or plan your fate. Again, could be for the good or bad. Probably bad. But this tattoo also channels her inner femme through being selfish, manipulative, and carrying hidden agendas that are self-serving to her.

WHAT in the H-E-double-hockey-STICK is a Photoblitz?!?

In this photoblitzer activity I tried to capture as many of the photo ideas listed below as I could in the timeframe of 20 minutes.

20:49 was my photoblitz code. The following 7 tasks were assigned to me.

  • Make an abstract or literal photo that expresses how you feel.
  • Take a photo in which a mirror is a major element
  • Make a photo that emphasises one color much more than any others in the shot
  • Make a photograph that features vertical lines today.
  • The theme is blue. Blue Monday? Blue bird? Or something else blue?
  • Giraffes are brilliant. Show us what it would be like if they lived in human society.
  • Gauges, meters, and turn signals are all indicators.

My first photo was a screenshot of my phone screen. In this photo I was capturing my starting time @ 8:48pm.

Now that my time has started, I immediately start scrambling around to search for photos and images around me that matched with each task.

“Make an abstract or literal photo that expresses how you feel”

I took a picture of a picture that I have up in my living room. This lady is standing in front of a beach inside a nice home and dressed in fabulous clothes. It may or may not be her home, but she looks unbothered and comfortable in her own right. Her posture with her arms crossed is what gave me this perception of her in this photo. You also can’t see her eyes or forehead you can only see her lips. Her lips are kind of pierced and sassy looking. This photo expresses how I feel today; Glamourous, sassy, and unbothered… and wishing I was at the beach!

Take a photo in which a mirror is a major element

I wasn’t sure what to do for this one. I actually completed this task last, and I was in a rush because I only had a few minutes left on the clock. I pulled out my body mirror and I took a selfie of myself with my forward camera facing the mirror with me halfway in and halfway out. The mirror was the major element here because you can see multiple perceptions of me only because of the mirror literally mirroring my face when I took the picture.

Make a photo that emphasizes one color much more than any others in the shot

I took a picture with my iPhone of another picture that I have hung up in my kitchen area. This was a picture of a flower, but you can’t see thw entire flower because I was extremely close and zoomed in to this particular spot on the flower. I did this to emphasize the darker purple color more than any other color on this flower.

Make a photograph that features vertical lines today.

I looked around in my apartment and at first, I couldn’t find anything that featured vertical lines. Of course, I could find things with horizontal lines everywhere. Then I looked over and I saw my balcony blinds hung up and those feature many vertical lines.

The theme is blue. Blue Monday? Blue bird? Or something else blue?

For this task I found so many blue items in my house. I will feature several photos of random blue themed items here. I was literally running around my house taking pictures of everything blue. This was my second favorite task. Once you see the task below this one you will understand why it’s my second favorite. But I will say, it was almost like my inner child came out while I was doing this. I was frantically running around my apartment and just going nuts, taking pictures of everything blue. I just kept thinking “OOP this is blue, oh look this is blue, wait omg I never noticed but this is even blue”, and I got the chance to let some of my impulsive behaviors here, so that was fun. Also, it was perfect because I was even wearing blue while doing this exercise.

Giraffes are brilliant. Show us what it would be like if they lived in human society.

Ladies and gentlemen, this was my favorite task!!! I looked up on google photos of giraffes and I found the one below, decided to print it out, and then place it in two different areas to show how this giraffe would live in this human society. The first pic, I put this pic in front of my resting Roku tv with the cyber color themed in the background. It has buildings and such and I placed the giraffe there and snapped a picture. Then I placed the giraffe on the couch and laid him on a pillow and gave covered him with a blanket to keep him warm. What a better way to say this giraffe would spend in a human society other than sitting on the couch watching the Roku!?

“Gauges, meters, and turn signals are all indicators.

For my last task, I had to call my boyfriend and ask him what items in my apartment are gauges and/or meters. I took multiple pictures of my findings. One was of my thermostat, and the other of my hot water machine heater meter. I did my best on this one!

My last photo is a screen shot I took on my iPhone to capture my ending time. Which was at 9:08pm.

Thank you guys for tuning into my photoblitz 🙂
