Week 6 Summary
I enjoyed the assignments this week sooo much more than last week’s audio projects. Design and it’s principles have circulated in all aspects of my academic life and personal interest. This first assignment was fun, especially when I decided to turn it into a gif. I wanted Kaleidoscope’s tattoo to[Read more] -

Balance: In this picture, the placement of the three objects is balanced across the composition with one in the forefront and the two smaller ones in the distance. Rhythm: The repetition of the oranges creates a rhythm throughout the composition that would have been lost otherwise if there were other[Read more] -
Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou Reflection
Looking into Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou’s in-depth research about design in various manifestations of comic books helped me see design in a whole new light. I’ve been taking art classes seriously since I’ve been in the sixth grade. There have been multiple discussions of aspects of design in our work and the[Read more] -
Oh, fuck it.
by @ashedwardz October 5, 2017One of my favorite movies of all time is Grand Budapest Hotel, directed by Wes Anderson. The characters M. Gustav H and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy, have a quirky yet endearing relationship in the film. The awkward, crass, and dry humor peaks through especially in their use of language[Read more] -

This super tattoo is quite high-tech. It has the ability to shift to it’s background/surroundings for a limited amount of time, generally around 15 minutes at a time. It can be set at different patterns, like the one shown above that blinks on and off. -
Week 5 Summary
This week was just as challenging as I thought. I had a very difficult time with audio assignments. Although, it was very eye opening. My favorite was assignment was the Radio Tweet Along. It never crossed my mind how significant sound could be in storytelling. I liked how I could[Read more] -
Radio Tweet Along
I had no idea what to expect when we were tasked with the #ds106 Radio Tweet Along. Would we be listening to music? Would it be related to superheroes? When I first joined the channel I was kind of surprised to hear our professor speaking. I don’t know why but[Read more] -
Radio Show Brainstorm
Idea dump: Superhero Series Comparison: Discuss the evolution of a certain superhero series (movies, tv shows, etc). Possible topics- differences in actors, directors, cinematography, script, costume changes etc. (Definitely most interested in this idea) Local “superheroes”: Talk about real life stories of people in the Fredericksburg/UMW community of people doing[Read more] -
Audio Storytelling
Sound is a very powerful element in storytelling. It gives you a subliminal context to several aspects of a story such as location and sense of space. For example, if a scene were taking place outside you would either need a visual to put the scene there or audio (such[Read more] -

Week 4 Summary
Photography is one of my favorite hobbies so this week was so much fun for me. The only set back I had was having to go home to see my family last minute in the middle of the week which threw off my groove and put me in a bit[Read more] -
It’s a bird! It’s a plane!
Is that Kaleidoscope or am I seeing things??? Her ability to blend in with any background is impeccable, making it difficult for the average eye to catch. -

Week 3 Summary

by @ashedwardz September 13, 2017Dear Mom, Well it’s safe to say that we’ve had a rocky road throughout my childhood. I know I wasn’t the easiest daughter to raise. We couldn’t be more opposite. In high school you were a cheerleader, Homecoming Queen three years in a row, tennis captain. On the other hand,[Read more] -
*INSTAGRAM IS DOWN*
by @ashedwardz September 13, 2017I’m very much so a food-e and, like many others in my generation, love to post pictures of what I eat!

The Birth of Superheroes
