Genres of YouTube For the examples of YouTube Genres listed by the previous DS106 students, I feel that the ones listed compiled together create the YouTube sensation. After searching through the examples listed, I feel as if I could have added many of videos to each genre. To me, that is how huge of a […]

Analyze the Camera Work The man was made to be the main character as each angle (if not every single one within the clip) had him in it or was of his perspective. He was put in the foreground in some as he was seen looking towards the dummy. The tilt shots of him shooting […]

Week 9 Has Come and Gone… My Daily Create story starts here! Although, for the 3 daily creates I did this week (I was going to do more, but I had a lot of things on my plate this week), they were all done on Flickr. I still created a story line, and each picture […]

For Storytelling Within the Web I decided to change up a NFL news page that was initially talking good about the Cowboys, and was presenting the links to the other top ranked teams. I chose to do a site about the Cowboys, because I am a die-hard Washington Redskins fan, and although we aren’t doing […]

http://www.pinterest.com/ashleighhhh9/my-getaway-to-saint-thomas/                My dream getaway would be to spend my days on the island of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.

Chaplin-Foley This audio assignment was by far the hardest for me. I am not a person who is very creative when it comes to making noises or sounds with different objects and even with my own body. I listened to the section of Charlie Chaplin’s – Lion Cage, 2:01-2:30, which I was supposed to replicate […]

My Radio Commercial Kings Dominion’s Halloween Haunt was the highlight for my commercial. Of course, it is connected with the theme of Mary Hauntington Radio because its…Halloween time!

Mary Hauntington Bumper For my bumper, I used the following applications: Audacity Voice Changer for Android and the background sound effect from: SoundBible. I started out googling hundreds of scary, spooky, horror, and haunted sounds and listened to almost all of them to find the one I wanted to use as my background ambiance as […]

For Mary Hauntington Radio, I have taken the role of gathering information of Haunted houses or places in Virginia. I have chosen 2, relatively close to the University of Mary Washington, because I wanted them to be easily accessible if anyone on campus was listening and decides to go check them out! The first is […]

So and So’s Greatest Hits For So and So’s Greatest Hits I chose to create a sound clip collage of Eric Church’s best 5 songs. For the specific songs I chose, I chose them because I questioned about 10 different friends, asking them about what songs they would choose as his best songs, and these […]

 My Reverse Audio Quiz 2.5 stars Now that I know more about Audacity, taking a song and getting it to play in reverse was quite simple! I started out recording the infamous, unknown song in Audacity. After the complete song was recorded, I chose the effect button, and the went down the list and clicked “reverse”. I […]

Daily Creates  Pirates have landed I created a story that the Pirates took all the criminals in the world…wishful thinking right? Well I am more of a visual person, so I decided to add a picture with the writing to  give it form and have the picture symbolize the pirates leaving the island on ships […]

DesignBlitz Color creates mood, draws attention to key elements. Good designs can use bold color or none at all (lack of color or monochrome makes a message too). What colors work well together? What methods of using color are more effective? What do saturate colors say as compared to pastels? Metaphors/Symbols: What are best practices […]

What the Font? Looking through all the design assignments, and came across this one and immediately clicked on it. This assignment has a ton of meaning to me because my dad has Multiple Sclerosis and has been in a battle with this since 2009. My first tattoo was one of a butterfly, and the body […]

Above are my daily creates, Water and Glass Moving Around and My Empathy Map. For the water and the glass, I wasn’t too sure of any other idea than some of what each and every other person took a video of, a glass you drink from and water. Well, the only other twist I could think of was […]

You’re Invited I am more on the short, sweet and to the point type of person, so I decided to create a save the date invitation! I am a southern girl so I decided to play along with the southern theme. I’ve always loved everything about weddings and the decorations  of them, so this assignment […]

The Ultimate Merger Another Design Assignment for the week is The Ultimate Merger. All of the design assignments seemed pretty interesting, but this was the first to catch my eye and I loved the idea of having to combine to companies logos together into one. Well deciding on the two logos to merge was THE […]

Six-Word Memoir No matter what the six words are, six words can explain a lot. Throughout my life, I have been through hell and back; was never one to talk about any of it, but hey who needs pity? When I found something I loved to do, play softball, I stuck to it. Nothing ever came […]

For the Visual Thinking and Symbols list of assignments, I chose One Story/Four Icons. Thinking of a movie to create out of four symbols was the first step, and ultimately the hardest. I thought of movie after movie, and each one I came up with, I felt as if the symbols I would have chosen […]

This daily create was really done out of the random, and since it was just a story I decided to find a picture on google of a pirate ship, and open it in Paint, and add my story to the picture to give it a little more character.

My favorite song in a picture:   My favorite song is Kick It in the Sticks by Brantley Gilbert. The picture above represents what my weekend usually consists of: bonfires, friends, family and fun. Hearing this song makes me think it is the theme song to my life. Even if you aren’t a fan of […]
