Infographic Project

Our most recent class project was to design an infographic based on our chosen topic. My topic that I decided to focus on was fantasy football. I was brainstorming ideas on how to represent fantasy football on an infographic, and I came up with the idea of highlighting what an amazing start to the season Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray is having thus far…

Revised and Good Copy Business Cards

Business Card and Infographic Critique

Here is my first business card, front and back. Looking at typography, I decided to use a serif font for my name because I thought it would make it stand out more. I also added to this contrast by using a sans serif font beneath it while making that smaller as well. I also used a cursive font on the back to mix it up because the front is all formal fonts…

Pick A Card, Any Card; Business Card Project

For our class project we had to design two business cards, one formal, and one more fun and personal. I loved this project as it was a great way to my creative side and it was a good change up from the weekly readings we normally do.

My Voice: This is Me

Yesterday in class, we talked about the concept of having a “writing voice.” We talked about having your own style and expressing it through word. Everyone’s voice is unique in his or her own way. That is the beauty of writing and expression. The video that prompted this topic of discussion was one from the TEDx series, given by a Furman student, Luke Christie (video below). Luke obviously talks about the importance of having your own voice, but he raises some questions at the end that I would now like to ponder, as well as some others.

Use Your Own Voice

I will admit, when I think of the word nonfiction, I think of BORING. I think of memoires, and history stories that I would not at all be interested in, and because of this, I automatically give “nonfiction” a bad rep. However, this should not be the case at all. The have in fact been a few nonfictions books that I have loved and thought were as good as some of the fictional ones I have read.
