I can’t believe we’re on week 11, that is unreal.

Daily Creates

For this week’s Daily Creates, I did Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday’s. For Tuesday, I struggled to make art with a question mark. The vague Daily Creates are either the best or worst for me. Some prompts, I love the freedom to do what I like, but for others’, I have no idea where to start. I ended up deciding to do a word cloud in the shape of a question mark. I was surprised to see no one else had done this yet. I used synonyms of the word “question” and then questions such as “who, what, when, where, why?” I put those words in a word cloud generator and messed around with the colors until I got a result I liked. Here it is!

For Thursday, the prompt was to make a story out of undecipherable text. The leaves on the book reminded me of a beanstalk, so I thought maybe the text was the original storytelling of Jack & the Beanstalk. While unlikely, it’s definetly not impossible because the story of Cinderella dates all the way back to the Tang Dynasty (my source in case you don’t believe me.) To make this piece, I used canva and found a graphic of someone climbing. I added the graphic and a few sentences from the story. Here is my daily create!

For Friday’s Daily Create, the prompt was to point out some irony. I had some trouble thinking of an example but then I remembered one of my favorite childhood movies: Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue. In the movie, there’s a storm which means the fairies can’t fly so they have to walk everywhere to find Tinkerbell. At one point in the movie, there is a shallow mud stream that the fairies have to cross, but the garden fairy hates mud. She owns up to the irony of it, and the line was so quotable that it started trending on TikTok. Here is the video.

Commenting

The first thing I commented on was Carson Frank’s Daily Create about the unreadable text. Carson’s DC was that the book invented the traffic cone. I said, “What a brilliant invention! Great for directing traffic, and great for people to steal when they’re drunk. It makes me wonder what they were using that cone for.” My comment was playfully sarcastic, which I’m not sure if it reads that way, but it’s a funny idea to think traffic cones have been around since before traffic. I then commented on Liv’s Door Daily Create. She said that behind her door was an infinite doorway, and she made it a gif. I was really impressed because the gif came out great! I said, “Ooo! I’m impressed with this gif! It came out so well! But the idea of infinite doorways is anxiety inducing ” The gif looked really good, and I was really impressed with Liv’s skill. Next, I commented on Cinder’s unreadable text DC, theirs was my favorite from the week. They found an illustration that looked like men in a pool and said it was the first pool party, which was very creative. The thing that makes me laugh, is that the men are naked and the water is green. I commented, “Hahaha I love this idea and the added speech bubbles make it even funnier. But there’s one aspect that I can’t overlook… if that’s a pool, why is the water green? What are they doing in there?” I am very curious to know if that crossed Cinder’s mind when they made that Daily Create. The last think I commented on was Ryee’s question mark daily create. They used Procreate and played around with the the different brushes to create a question mark. I commented, “I like the chaoticness of this brush! I love Procreate, it’s so much fun to doodle on!” Last I checked, procreate is only available on the apple store, which stinks because I don’t have an iPad and I would love to have the app on my laptop.

This week was very chill which was amazing because I was swamped with 100 other things this week. I’m really looking forward to next week and filming my trailer with my group.
