About Me

My photo
Hi, I'm Jada Newhouse and I'm a Photography major at Sam Houston State University! I'm not very confident in my own work, but I hope to gain a lot from the WASH program. I have experience in both photography and graphic design thanks to High School yearbook and Dallas Teenage Newspaper. I'm a huge nerd who plays Pokemon and Harry Potter rpg games. I love Harry Potter (Love might be an understatement). I'm easily entertained and an overall great person to get to know! I look forward to meeting many others JUST LIKE ME! :)

Dots, Dots, And more DOTS!

My former roommate warned me of dots, but I figured it could be worse than last semesters Basic Design class I took. We had to draw lines. I think it was about 6 weeks of lines. Dots are so much better! Anyway, the assignment was to show proximity, similarity, and continuance through lines.

  Here are my first tries: notice all the cross outs. xD
Proximity














Continuance














Similarity
















The I had to delete some and add some: 













 And finally, I chose my top 15:





























I'm pretty darn proud of myself! That's all tonight folks!

Cardboard Spheres!!!

I finally finished all of my sphere's today! Well more like yesterday, but you get the point. I had many ideas for this assignment, but putting it together was tricky. I changed ideas a few times with each one! But the final product was satisfying, and I hope I grasped the concept of the whole shibang!

So here is the first sphere: The surface/skin of a 
sphere. 
Basically I just wet some cardboard and made a ball! It was an interesting experience.
Next: The skeleton of a sphere.
This one started out as a pop-up sphere. But I soon realized that wouldn't work, so I went with this and loved it!
 Last but not least: A sphere without using glue or any adhesives.
My initial idea for this one was to make something like a mobile. However, the cardboard that holds it all together is a little flimsy, so it's a dancing sphere if you try to make it stand up on its own. :)
And there you have it, 3 cardboard spheres!
I enjoyed this experience, yet I don't think I ever want to see another piece of cardboard in my life. Oh wait, we still have a larger than life project. >_<
I suppose I can survive another cardboard project. :)
I look forward to what the rest of the semester brings.

FIRST DAY OF WASH

The first day of WASH was...interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect after hearing many stories from my previous roommate. I knew we would be doing something with newspaper. However, I was not expecting a fashion show. I had two different idea's for my daydream/nightmare. And I decided on a Business Woman, though after walking down the runway I wish I had gone with my other choice. Nonetheless, it was a great experience, and I enjoyed seeing what everyone came up with. I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester and our LARGER THAN LIFE project!
