A Nutter Butter Break Up
The most challenging part of this assignment was finding a movie scene I could recreate. A lot of my initial ideas required multiple people or specific clothing that I couldn’t find good matches for in my own closet. I ended up settling on this break-up scene from legally blonde. I also struggled to take the…

College Life and My Social Battery
I was tracking my social battery, more specifically the impact of my different feelings on my social battery, for two weeks. From my data collection, I have concluded that I am a very social person, and it takes a lot to deplete my social battery. I had been recording data on my levels of academic…

Revision – “The Game”
When I was six we lived in a two-story house in Santa Cruz, a town that smelled like the sea. We walked on the pavement with bare feet, and the beach was our backyard. We would shout the lyrics to Dynamite and Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz, and stay up late on Friday nights…

Lady Luck
I found creating my quadriptych comic much easier than creating the triptych comic because having an additional comic square allowed me to tell a better story. Initially, I wanted to make a funny or clever comic, like the examples in the sketch 7 assignment post, but after brainstorming for a bit no ideas really worked…

Backpack Bundle
Yellow notebook: A graph paper notebook for my calc class (one of my favorite classes to take notes for because my teacher writes everything out so I have time to write notes in the margins. Also I just love graph paper.)Open notebook: My biology notebook (the cover is green because last semester’s was blue). This…

A Symbiotic Story
While creating my comic I struggled to come up with an idea at first. I’m a very wordy person and most of my stories tend to run long, so writing a short one with only three panels was really difficult for me. I ended up creating a comic about a clownfish trying to escape a…
