Super Fun Creates

This week was probably one of my favorite week of creates so far! Not only did I really enjoy creating them I really loved seeing everybody else’s interpretations of the creates.

I completed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays creates read and check them out here:

For Monday’s create I created a GIf based off one of my favorite childhood movies “Alice in Wonderland (2010)”

Monday

For Tuesday’s create I showed the perspective the grass outside sees during sunset. Very beautiful view if you ask me.

Tuesday

Wednesday’s create was my favorite surprisingly. I don’t normally love creating stories or poems, but this one came fairly easy to me. Click here to read the 2 part post about the magical/mystical world of “Neverwinter”

I hope you enjoy the creates this week as much as I did!

Lots of Creativity

I really enjoyed all of the assignments this week. I love editing posters, videos, newsletters, etc which is what this week mainly consisted of.

To start off I completed e daily creates this week Monday – Wednesday. I loved all the prompts especially the short story. I feel like i’m getting much better at the daily creates when it comes to creativity.

This week I created a GIF based off my favorite movie, took a photo of the sunset from the grasses perspective, and wrote a short story about the mystical land of “Neverwinter”.

For Wednesday’s create the only problem I ran into was the word count error. I wasn’t aware that there was a limit to the amount of words you can use, but it makes sense. This caused me to have to make 2 parts.

Daily Creates

The two poster assignments this week were super fun to create. I created one sports related poster and one newsletter based off the movie “The Terminator”.

I created both assignments on Canva since i’m familiar with the site. For the sports poster I based it off my course character’s favorite activity after work, which is watching football with her dad.

In that poster I explain why I used the colors, fonts, specific teams, and pictures to convey a certain emotion. Check it out here:

Sports Poster

For ‘The Terminator” poster I created it was a bit harder since i’m not as familiar with the film. I had to do some background work on the film to fill in the missing holes that could make my poster more exciting.

In this newsletter I explain why I used the color schemes I did as well as the photos I chose to convey a certain emotion. Check it out here:

Newsletter

Overall this was on of my favorite weeks so far in terms of editing. I also loved seeing everyone elses daily creates and posters! Some honorable mentions are Rebecca’s Radiant Realm’s newsletter and @Coni’s Wednesday daily create short story.

Hope you guys enjoyed week 7, see you in a couple of weeks!

Reporting From The Scene

I decided to analyze and create a newsletter from this scene from the 1984 film “The Terminator”

I have never fully watched “The Terminator” fully through, so one thing I had to do after watching the scene was fill in any missing pieces that would help me create the newsletter.

This consisted of looking up why the Terminator was looking for Sarah, where the film is based, who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist.

Here is the finished project

I created this newsletter using Canva. I used a simple newsletter template and adjusted the font, photos, and colors. I bolded and added the color red to give the sense of urgency and terror which is what I would personally feel if I had an encounter with the Terminator.

I added eye catching yet simple photos which is what I believe a missing or wanted poster normally looks like.

This was a very fun creative assignment. I’m absolutely loving editing in Canva especially.

Battle of The Birds

I’m a huge football fan (my personal favorite team is the Baltimore Ravens) and I plan to got into sports marketing after graduating. Also I have mentioned that my course character Krysta Ghosting is also a huge football fan and watches it to unwind after a long day at her restaurant.

What that being said I decided to create a NFL game flyer/poster

Here is the finished result:

First I chose to do the Ravens vs Eagles because thats a huge eye catching rivalry. This game has always been a highly viewed and anticipated game in past years.

Since this is a Baltimore Ravens home game I decided to add more of the ravens colors in the flier. I added a very minimal amount of eagles colors, but just enough for audiences to be able to identify the team.

The purple, black and white is not only the ravens franchise colors, but the colors are also bold and eye catching.

I used two different fonts “Alegreya Sans sc” font and “Mokoto” font. The “Alegreya” font is what I used towards the top of the poster. It has a sports like vibe to it which is why i picked it.

I added the “Mokoto” font towards the bottom of the poster. I feel this font gives more of a video game type of vibe and I thought it would be cool to mesh the two fonts together.

This has been one of my favorite posters i’ve created so far. I really like the color scenes and images I chose. I created this poster on Canva as well.

Hope you enjoy!

Sincerely, Kristen

Week 7

Propaganda

Breaking News

It’s the week before spring break, I have been very involved with Canva this week using it for almost every project, so that was interesting, I have used it throughout college be consistently forget how helpful it can be, mostly cause a lot of it requires getting the subscription and people tend to remember the bad and forget the good. The daily creates this week were good too nice to have options of what fits best with a schedule or what interests you most so that’s nice. I enjoy simplicity so I do actually quite like my propaganda. This week is much better than last week energy wise, so I was able to enjoy the work I was doing yay! Me and Canva became buddies I look at way too much propaganda and I got to read some funny work and comments. Going spend my spring break doing papers though sigh, won’t stop me from lollygagging though! 6 to 9 page paper nah more like 6 to 9 days getting it done, pfft kidding kidding.

Hopefully everyone goes out and does something fun!

Have a great spring break!

I made a logo in Canva too pfft

Propaganda

I held onto the Technoir theme of surveillance, I was inspired by the modern problem of being over reliant on phones. They just seem like devices to keep people distracted from reality at times. So that was what I went with here, other version included keep your head down and ears covered but that seemed a little on the nose, I used elements from Canva to create this, should really use it more often. The eyeball I added was purposefully discreet since surveillance tends to be.

Propaganda refers to the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion.

Going off that definition I lied, nothing is fine, you simply don’t notice things are wrong till it’s too late.

𓁹Be aware! 𓁹

Breaking News

I used Canva to craft a newspaper article about the movie The Groundstar Conspiracy, after going through the movie it really was the best scene to make a movie about. The images were never clear, so I decided to make that a factor in it and treat them as if they were secret photos so naturally, they are blurry. Gotta expose the underground secrets~ the reporter definitely vanished after putting this story out though. Lots of clipping to make sure they fit.

Daily Create 2/26/25

Prompt: One upon a time …

There was a girl who could manipulate water. She could move streams, lakes, and oceans. She used this power to water the crops in her village and give water to the animals. But one day her village was having a party. A big gathering to celebrate the sun and its warmth as the season changed. The girl knew exactly the thing the village needed. She took some water from the nearest lake and made a rainbow that stretched the entire length of the village so that the people not only celebrated the warmth of the sun but also of the beautiful light that the sun provides.

Evelyn’s Bumper Sticker

Evelyn loves bumper stickers. She is classy but that doesn’t mean that her car doesn’t deserve some love and decoration. Her favorite bumper sticker is one that warns drivers behind her. Where she lives tailgating is a huge problem and she does not stand for it. Getting to work is hard enough, she doesn’t need assholes in her business.

I used a Canva template to get the bumper sticker size and I chose one that just has a black background. I googled goose with a knife because it’s one of my favorite things and it makes me laugh, so I scrolled till I found one I liked. I found this one that said “flock around a find out” and this gave me the idea to make the bumper sticker have a message that warns drivers rather than a “I’m a new driver” type of message. I then added text that said maintain distance and this gives the other drivers instruction on what not to do to find out.
