Part II Business Sketches

Now its time for the fun part of our business ideas: creating the sketches. I am so not an artist, so what I decided to do was surf the web for possible pictures catering to my business ideas. A couple of photos was shot by yours truly and then redesigned on powerpoint.

Rhyme & Reason Lounge:

Arousing Accessories: (photo of my jewelry)

Greek Paradise:

Part I: Business Ideas

We were asked to brainstorm and think of five possible business ideas. I simply thought of my favorite things to do or my favorite items to buy which resulted in the following ideas:

SOLEfully Yours:
A shoe boutique which carries only the hottest shoe styles for women who want to cater to their inner DIVA! "Any heel under a 3.5 inches will be uncivilized" is our motto.

Rhyme & Reason Lounge:
Being I am a lover of spoken word and music, I decided to create a business for like minded individuals. The lounge will serve your favorite adult beverage and appetizers while enjoying the sounds of a jazz band or local artist who want to showcase their talents via music or poetry.

Arousing Accessories:
I live, eat, and breathe beautiful accessories, therefore it only makes sense to create a business which centers around it. Big earrings, flashy bangles, body chains, clutches, necklaces would be my focal point. Some people place so much emphasis on brand names and the how much it cost. My store would cater to those who aren't so caught up in the brand name but moreso the fashion and style. My motto would simply be "it's not about brand, it's about STYLE".

Greekdom Paradise:
As a member of a Black Greek organization, I have found it hard locating stores which sell Greek paraphernalia here in the Tampa area. I did find one store which was located by USF, but the choices were very slim. I would open a store possibly in Westshore Mall as well as create an online store to cater to members of the Divine Nine (African American Sororities & Fraternities).

Travel Shore:
One of my favorite past times is being able to travel when time does permit me to do so. Therefore, I created a business to help others plan their wonderful vacations. I love the name Travel Shore only because of the play on words.

Project #1

3pm: The image I am attempting to create is a simple and beautiful picture of an Ankh with Egyptian pyramids in the background. The Ankh symbol is near and dear to me and the meaning is something I apply to my life on all levels. It simply means: life and prosperity.

11:30pm: Well I have been working nonstop since my last posting on this blog and although my expectations were high for this project, the mission was NOT accomplished. My project has gone from what I had anticipated being an ankh with egyptian pyramids has turned into a shark in the water at the beach lol. Nonetheless, I am HAPPY with it because my knowledge of this coding deal is slowly but surely increasing!

Coding:

Aggravated...(Heart Assignment)

10:08 am, I keep attempting to make this heart but it is either turning out sideways, not connecting, or simply not showing at all and I have been going at it since last night. Still making an attempt to complete but receiving no such luck....ughhhh! Once my finished project is completed, it will be posted.

As of 1:53pm, I FINALLY was able to get something to show up with this assignment. I literally have been working on this since last night. Tried again this morning during the class time until now and my brainis fried. If THIS was suppose to be an easy assignment, then I need to take a valium to calm my nerves for next weeks project. My end result looks a little funky but the lines are connecting. We will call this piece "A Heart Attack".

No Idea What I Am Doing BUT Trying!

I attempted to complete the assignment given for Wednesdays class. I was more lost than Stevie Wonder trying to run a marathon with no guidance..smh. But nonetheless, I followed the tutorial and made a few adjustments which ended up in the following:

I can not honestly say I fully understand this assignment but hopefully throughout class and me being PRESENT, I will gain some type of knowledge.
