    Im A Real Boy

    by
    I’m Andy, the infamous bank robber. But if I could be anyone anywhere, I would have chosen to be a soldier in the Union Army during the civil war, like Kyle Masala. Even though I am an outlaw, I am still patriotic to my country and what it stands for. I would have enjoyed that […]

    Turning Tumbleweeds Radio

    by
    I listened to Turning Tumbleweeds last night and really enjoyed the radio show! The group was able to access the audience with a plethora of different methods to keep everyone hooked.   First I think that their idea of a murder mystery was creative and fun and kept everyone in tune with the show. Their use […]

    Rodeo Radio Commercial

    by
    This post was not too difficult.  I was able to also embed the song pretty well into this post.  It was the song “Traveller” by Chris Stapleton.  I also had my script all written out. Where I struggled was the editing of the sound its self. I was having trouble making it flow when trying […]

    Rodeo Radio Bumper

    by
    This is my radio bumper for the rodeo radio show that we have for our group radio project. In this assignment I embedded the song “It Feels Good” by Drake White in the background to give it a fun effect.  It also is a pretty good depiction of the radio show. The bumper was not […]

    The Vignelli Canon

    by
    The booklet on design really helped me learn about many things I didn’t know about design previously.  I didn’t understand how much design was in our daily lives.  I always had ideas of design from things I have had to previously do through school or my previous jobs, but what I took away from this […]

    Western Design

    by
    As I was looking through some of the western design on the movie posters, some of the major themes that stood out to me were color, typography, balance, dominance, and unity.  The colors almost always show some sort of mystery; this gives the watcher impelling thoughts to watch the movies.  The typography allows for the […]

    Designblitz

    by
    This photo displayed to me the aspect of “unity” in design.  The same poses, similar clothing, and colors all portray this effect. This photo of myself reminded me of “balance” in design.  My interesting facial hair choice, is rather balanced. This photo reminded me of “dominance” in design.  The color and background allow for my […]

    Thinking About Audio Storytelling

    by
    I first came into this week having no idea how to work with the audacity application and lacked in the ability to put together good stories via audio methods.  By the end of this week I was able to use the application for my assignments and greatly enjoyed working with the new ways to telling […]

    Western Readings

    by
    While reading these Westerns in class and going over most of the links included in the class page, I have begun to realize some common themes that are reoccurring throughout the Western genre.  There seems to be a strong emphasis on independence and the ability to “hold ones own.”  This leads to many different ideals of […]

    The Shapes of Stories

    by
    This video was pretty interesting how he was able to find the major stereotypes that are told throughout almost every story.  He presented these ideas in a funny and entertaining way.  This would apply to the story in the movie we watched, Who Shot Liberty Valance.  The main character was in trouble and he found […]

    Dream It…Write It

    Every time I am sick, I have this dream. Everything around me is ten times bigger than it normally is. I am surrounded by objects that are humongous. I start to freak out because I am in this alternate universe where everything is growing and are closing in on me. At this point in my dream, […]
