    This Is Halloween

    by
    In preparation for my favorite holiday, I decided to complete this #ds106 Audio Assignment which had me mixing together different spooky sounds. I used FreeSound to find different public domain tracks and Audacity to mix them together. I focused on creaky wooden steps, ghost whispers, group whispers, spanish whispers, and something more phantom-like. I’ve neverContinue reading "This Is Halloween"

    Week 4 Summary

    by
    It’s digital photography week! I have to say I was excited when I read the week’s topic. I have always had some interest in photography (haven’t we all?), but it usually was something I did with friends when I was younger or since did on my own. I definitely enjoyed gaining further insight into differentContinue reading "Week 4 Summary"

    The Reincarnation of Photography

    by
    After reading Stuart Jeffries’ article in The Guardian, I’m left slightly divided. When I was in high school, there was literally no cooler aspiration than becoming a photographer. We didn’t have camera phones yet, decent camera phones yet and I don’t think any of us really expected them to evolve much beyond the grainy imagesContinue reading "The Reincarnation of Photography"

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    This week we focused on the storytelling side of digital media for our main projects, and kept things spicy with some more Daily Creates throughout the week. Watching Kurt Vonnegut define a story’s shape was both entertaining and enlightening. I doubt I’ve ever thought of a story in graph form before, but rather than minimizingContinue reading "Week 3 Summary"
