    Digital Story Compilation

    by
      This assignment was really a time to go back to look at all the assignments and memories shared during the course of this class. This are some of the ones I’m proud to share. The downside to using a song is that other audio’s can’t be played. I attempted to mashup some clips from daily broadcasts ...

    Trailer Mashup–Mulan

    by
    I think downloading all the tools and learning how to use it was more annoying than doing the assignment itself. I used Sony Vegas Pro as the main tool for combining all my clips. Using clip converter, I downloaded the clips from YouTube and saved them in the proper formats (audio(mp3 and video mp4). I imported the ...

    Life

    by
    Someone once told me that “God never gives you more than you can handle” This has me thinking. If God is testing us by giving us challenges to overcome, what is the punishment for those who fail? Eternal Damnation? And what are we supposed to be learning from these challenges? IDK where I’m going with ...

    Disappearing Act Web Story

    by
    So after watching Tim and Martha’s video and going over the written instruction, I still felt lost because I didn’t know what website I wanted to look at. I’m big on fashion but fashion is very image focused and Martha warned against websites with too many pictures….So what now? I thought of what Tim said ...

    Reactions to these new turn of events

    by
    So i’m sure by now everyone has heard of the events that’s happened in the last few days. We lost Dr.Oblivion, and now the prime suspect, Jim Groom has gone missing…but not before going mad and banishing some people. Fortunately for us, there is an audio recording of the event that wasn’t audible to the ...

    Audio Experiment #3 Alvin!!!!!!

    by
    For the third audio experiment I decided to play with the effects since the other two didn’t really allow for that much experimentation. I recorded someone singing this rhyme and then I played with the pitch and the pace which resulted in the lovely chimpmunck sounding thing. I added other effects but the pitch and ...

    Audio Experiment #2 Mash-up

    by
    This crazy mashup was so fun to do. i think the hardest part was thinking up questions and then thinking of the right songs to respond. It doesn’t help if you don’t listen to a lot of music. After i imported the songs i wanted to use, it was very annoying cutting away to the ...

    Audio Experiment #1 Sound Story

    by
    For this assignment, I pulled out hairs, said some pretty graphic words and shed a tear or two but i finally got the hand of it. I didn’t have a problem with downloading the sound effects but it took me a while to learn how to put it all on the same track and have ...

    Daily Shoot #595

    by
    Play with contrasting scale today: juxtapose something small with something big!   Like all things, even fruits comes in different shape. I bet your mom wouldn’t be mad if you played with your food this way. She’s enroll you in art school. For this masterpiece, I increased the constrast in Picasa and reduced the shadow. ...

    by
    I’m really proud of this pic seeing how i chased this bee for quite a while waiting for it to pollinate so I can take a pic. I added a boost effect in Picnick(my fav tool now) and VIOLA.  Nature is dirty, but beautiful!!!

    Tim Owens & Kirby Ferguson Commentary

    by
    Tim Owens’ discussion about all things design So I am a sociology major taking ds106 because I thought it would be a fun class to take. So far it hasn’t disappointed. It’s certainly very different from any class I’ve taken and I’m glad I got the opportunity to take it, especially with Dr. Oblivion because ...

    Daily Shoot #582

    by
    I am all too familiar with today’s topic. Several times i’ve had a deadline coming up only to have the dreaded blue screen pop up. Once again I did this in paint. I thought i’d practice my drawing a little bit (one step at a time). Constructive Criticism highly appreciated!!!

    Daily Shoot #591

    by
    2011/06/29 • #ds591   Illustrate choice in a photograph today. Be obvious or subtle.   For today’s shoot i decided to make a poster using paint. The choices are heaven and hell. I made heave so much lighter than hell and kind of ambiguous looking because we don’t really know what heaven looks like. It’s usually portrayed ...

    Daily Shoot #590

    by
    Make a photograph that features white in a dominant manner. Use a white subject. Blow out the sky. Use your imagination.   All day I was thinking about this topic. I looked through what other people had posted but I didn’t want to do the same thing. I had cereal for dinner and got the ...

    Visual Assignment Un

    by
      Visual Assignment #1 Cropped Signs We think of creation as addition, but there is a form of creation by deletion. In this assignment, you need to change, alter, enhance the meaning of a sign by cropping out parts of it. This should be doing in camera, but could also be done in post- crop ...

    Daily Shoot #588

    by
    Make a monochrome photograph today. Keep in mind that monochrome doesn’t have to mean black and white.   So I will admit that i looked up monochrome for this shoot. It’s something that is of the same color but it can be different shades of that color. So achieve this look, I used a black ...

    Work the angles today. Make a photo that gives us a unique perspective on an otherwise ordinary scene.   Disclaimer: This bug was still alive when I took this picture. I was walking by and there it was. After screaming my head off, i took a closer look ans saw an antena move. But doesn’t ...

    Daily Shoot #584

    by
      Make a photo of a pair of subjects today. People or inanimate objects are both fair game! I love this shot. My friend Brit and Jam were on their way back from dance practice and I saw that they were marching in sync so I snapped away. I’ve been carrying my camera with me ...
