Creative Thinking Exercise (X1) - "12-inch Pizza"


For my Creative Thinking Exercise I was asked to merge and illustrate two objects. The picture above is titled "12-inch Pizza", and in it I merged a traditional turntable (which is able to play 12" vinyl LP records) with a pizza. I believe the reason that I created the drawing is because of recent hobby of collecting the music I enjoy in a physical medium, rather than solely streaming it on Apple Music, Spotify, etc. During the process of creating the drawing, the title and play on words had come to me first, so I decided to present my ideas in this way. I didn't have a certain step-by-step process when approaching it, because as you can tell, I'm not really that great of an artist when it comes to drawing. My source of inspiration for this drawing would be the turntable that I have in my room, and my constant thoughts of food. I hope you found the amalgamation of these two unrelated objects to be at least presentable, and somewhat interesting.

Thank You

The Innovation and Technology of Nike’s HyperAdapt (Assignment - A3)

Max Jiménez Prof. Roundtree FMX 211 October 15, 2018 The Innovation and Technology of Nike’s HyperAdapt             Footwear has been around for centuries and is a major component of our day-to-day wear. Traditionally, shoes have been made from leather, wood or canvas, but in the 2010s, as a result of material innovations rubber, plastics, and other chemical-derived materials have been increasingly prevalent in the production of sneakers and athletic wear. In this paper I will highlight a 21st century innovation that are in the beginning stages of production, and in several years may be mass-marketed and change the way that sneakers are made and worn. This company makes up a large percentage of worldwide footwear sales and is at the forefront for innovation in terms of pioneering new technologies to be worn by the masses.             The technology that I w...

Blog Post - B5 (Music Movements)

Movements: Industrial Hip Hop/Horrorcore: Ho99o9 I chose the hip hop group Ho9909 (pronounced Horror) because they combine hip hop with a traditionally aggressive hardcore punk sound palette. I believe that their work (such as United States of Horror)  really blurs the line between genres by incorporating various elements to make their music. I consider that their work fits with electronic music because of their use of various computer-generated sounds (i.e. distorted programmed bass lines), and the use of both traditional live instruments (drums, guitar). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7saY1yWyWbc Post-Punk: IDLES I chose the British post-punk band IDLES because I had heard their song Danny Nedelko  from their 2018 album Joy as an Act of Resistance. I consider that their work represents the modern take on punk music, and fits with technology because of the use spacious synth-bass sounds on the epic Colossus (from the same album). https://www.youtube.com/watc...

Blog Post #1

My name is Max Jimenez, and I am a first-year commuter student attending the University of Tampa intending to major in New Media Production. I am originally from New York, although I have lived in the Tampa Bay Area for most of my life. My feeling about the first Art & Technology class and the semester were pretty positive going into this new course. This class sounds interesting, and it also sounds like it will be a challenge for me this semester. When this  class  is all said and done I  expect  to expand and improve my skills in creating  projects in multiple formats so  I  can succeed in my major and various areas of interest. I have been a fan of the New York Yankees for as long as I could remember. Although I love the Yankees, I do watch other sports as well, including basketball and soccer. I love to watch professional soccer, whether it be the MLS or the English Premier League.  I love to attend live shows and sporting events. ...
