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 6 Storylab: Horror Microfictions

The face had different eyes:   Image Mirror- 6 words My reflection was smiling. I wasn't. Stars   - 25 words Growing up, I always loved the stars. Now that I'm among them, my love is gone. No one told me they had eyes. Call ended . Authors Note- For both of these stories, I used the theme of sight. The idea was to write two stories about seeing something, and not liking what you saw. I have always enjoyed writing horror, and I find that many people have a strange fascination with scary stories (after all, 5 of the top 20 podcasts on Spotify are true crime podcasts about murder). I really wanted to challenge myself to write something that could unsettle the reader in as few words as possible. I also like sci-fi a lot, which served as an influence for the second story. I hope you enjoyed them! Let me know of any criticisms or suggestions for other stories you may have, as I would like to do this again!
