Hello Everyone!

     The Digital Media class I'm enrolled in recently engaged in using the MIT App Inventor program. Our goal was to learn this easy-to-use program within our class's length. MIT definitely out-did themselves with this program. It was fast and relatively easy to use. Not only this, but it was also fun.
     In terms of apps, our class did not go very in-depth, opting to create an app where we could tap the screen to create messages and also allow a small ball to bounce across the screen. Tapping the ball would make it bounce in another direction. It was simple, but a great start to bigger things. I was easily able to download the companion app on my smartphone to see the fruits of my progress in real time, something that I was very impressed with. Overall, while not an official creation method most app-makers may use, this was a fantastic beginning in the art of app-creation and I highly suggest anyone that is interested to check it out.

Thank You!

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to share my design for my college's small cafe, Cadillac Daddy Cafe! I wanted to go with a mixed 1950s-inspired style as well as take on a small jazz influence.

For this, I wanted a cool black background to accentuate the blue and give it a jazzy feel. I created lines for a banner, reminiscent of several 1950s logos with two white circles to give off the appearance of car head lights. The Cadillac part of the sign was done in AR Christy while the other texts were done in AR Berkeley. I accentuated the Cadillac part of the design in half of an ellipse to add to the sign design. For a more authentic feel, I added the establishment year.

Let me know what you feel. Thank You!
