Class Assignments First Impressions

Looking over the assignments, it looks like this class will be a lot of fun! I really like the free-flowing aspects of a lot of the assignments, as I feel that they will encourage a lot more creativity in our work. I like to mix up storytelling styles throughout the classes that I've had that are similar to this one if I can, and I'm glad that this class will give me that chance.

I'm especially interested in the microfictions. I like the idea of trying to convey a story in as few words as possible. As a designer, copywriting is a pretty essential part of the design process, so writing stories like this could definitely help with my ability to create short, impactful copy that can help me in my career field.

All in all, it looks like it'll be a good time!

    Like you, I also think this class will be a lot of fun this semester! I like how the class encourages us to work on our own schedule to complete assignments or even work ahead a finish early. The extra credit opportunities also provide some peace of mind in case we miss assignments or just want to finish the semester early. I'm also looking forward to expressing my creativity, something I couldn't exactly express in my engineering coursework.

Introduction to Brett the Graphic Designer

Hey! My name is Brett Drake and I'm a senior Public Relations major with a Classical Culture minor. I'm from the small town of Wagoner, Oklahoma (if you've heard of it, chances are you're also from northeast OK!) and while I've enjoyed my time here at OU, I can't wait to graduate in May. I want to become a graphic designer in the OKC area after graduation and help local businesses build their brands. My favorite class last semester was Digital Design (surprise, surprise) as it allowed me to really hone my skills as a designer across all different types of media. Me at the Coliseum : Photo by a friend Last summer, as I talked about in my favorite place post , I was able to study abroad in Italy for the month of June, allowing me to finally travel outside of the country for the first time in my life. While traveling abroad had its ups and downs (I arrived in Rome running on a good 3 hours of sleep and had lost my luggage), overall it was an amazing experie

Week 3 Story: Perseus, A DM's Worst Nightmare

Perseus and Andromeda, by Frederic Leighton Dan had been the Dungeon Master for his friends' Dungeons and Dragons group for a while now, and he always looked forward to their sessions on Wednesday nights. Everyone had a good time, and they had created stories that would last a lifetime, one of which was the unfortunate story of Percy. Percy was an acquaintance who was also an avid D&D player. When his group disbanded for unknown reasons, Percy asked Dan if he could join his group. Dan allowed it, welcoming Percy to the group. Percy was insistent that he should be able to keep the same character that he had played in his former campaign. Dan, not knowing what he was agreeing to, let him keep his character. When Wednesday came and everyone sat down to play, Dan began to realize his mistake.  "Alright everyone," Dan began. "When we last left off, you all had made your way to the fields of the giant monster known as Atlas. A mountain looms in the dista
