This is the second to last of this class and it’s weird for things coming to a close. I did one daily create this week on a throwback to my favorite assignment this semester. This is what I wrote: “This is one of my favorite projects from my work in the class because it is […]

I wanted to keep a running post of my work on the final project for Bunk and have done so here. Bunk is a really cool character and so wonderfully sarcastic and ridiculous, yet serious and a decent investigator, so it has been fun creating Bunk outside the world of the Wire. “My name is […]

This was a pretty easy assignment, but it was also pretty fun because you get to pretend to be someone else. For my character from the Wire I tried to make his notes as tuned into his life as possible and what I knew about him or could imagine him to be. To do this […]

To make this I downloaded a photo of the person I wanted from the Internet. I used Photoshop to block out just his silhouette. I used the eraser tool because the magic lasso tool could not pick up on the color differences, thought that tool is typically easiest to cut just what you want in […]

There was a ton of work for these two weeks and I had two major problems: my internet quit at my house and I would have no internet where I was going for Thanksgiving. So all of this work was essentially done in two days as I sat in a room at the Convergence Center […]

For today’s daily create on being creative with leaves, I took this picture of a plant in Mara Scanlon’s office. They looked like butterflies to me and I thought it was cool.

Episode 5- I really like this season for the focus on the kids. The major says there are two types of students: astute kids and corner kids. The issue is that they are lumped together and cannot be taught that way. I feel bad about Bubbles getting hurt. He takes the hit for the kid […]

  This is my last mashup assignment for the movie mashup prompt. I mixed together Divergent and the Hunger Games because a lot of people say Divergent is just the new Hunger Games. I spent a lot of time on Photoshop to make this poster, so enjoy!...

Today I captioned an unsplash photo for the daily create. I wanted to use the typewriter because it mixed the old and new with the saying I wrote on the typewriter. I used Photoshop to do this.

    This is Bunk’s last set of stars for the week. He made the “And you are…” design assignment. This is the story of Bunk as we know it and all of the things he likes. Facebook  Twitter 2*

This is Bunk’s second assignment for writing.  He wrote up a report for a case of multiple suicides for work for the police beat assignment. Multiple suicides sweep Baltimore suburbs. Rich children of politicians create suicide pact called 1-800 Cyanide. First death by rope. Suicide after shooting Captain of police. Second death by LSD overdoes […]

Bunk made a wanted poster for McNulty with his typical sarcastic style and posted it on his social media sites. Facebook Twitter   2*

For my remix assignment I worked long and hard to create this mashup of the Interstellar trailer with Wall-E trailer and movie sound effects overtop. I tried really hard to make them match up and sound good. I played around with irony a lot and gave the remix a dark humor context about the future fate […]

I did the mashup assignment for inappropriate laughter and had some fun with it. I had just watched episode 7 of the Wire and thought this fight scene would definitely be inappropriate to add laughter to, so I had to use it. It was easy to download the video and I found some laughter tracks […]

I had a bit of fun with the 10-second mashup assignment. I just recently got a record player and downloaded a lot of new/old music to my iTunes, so these are a few of my favorite songs right now. I couldn’t get rid of the last second because every second was necessary to show off […]

This is my daily create of my shoefie! My friend and I did a project on our own where we decorated our own shoes and now I get to use it for this daily create, which is pretty cool.

For my first daily create I made a short writing piece to the prompt “the one who got away.” As I am wholly unromantic, I decided to write my piece about something I really care about: candy. You were the one that got away. The others, brown, red, green and blue, they stayed in their […]

Maybe it’s because this was a two-week long week, but I felt like I accomplished a lot. I did some really great assignments and packed so much Wire into my life. It was great to work with video and fine tune some skills in that department, as well as do an individual project on Bunk. […]

Lauren Brumfield and I worked on our swede together so we could do more scenes and make our swede more in-depth. We wanted to focus on the scenes from this episode that led to D’Angelo’s demise, so we did the scene where D talks about The Great Gatsby, the talk with his mother at the […]

For my final project on the Bunk Moreland, I created four different social media outlets for him, a bio to start my ideas flowing and created an avatar that is the same on each site. I also started planning out some ideas for the final project. Bunk’s biography: “My name is William Moreland, but I […]

For today’s daily create I made a map of canva for myself. I have the newspaper in the background and then used the photo from my website logo of books as the lines. I got both of my majors in my flag and lots of color!

Last Friday I had a few run-ins with the Wire outside of this class. I went to see the movie “Interstellar” and saw two very important characters from the Wire in two different movie trailers. See if you can recognize them! It’s Omar and Bunk! I was also in a store later on Friday and […]

This is my odd magnet poem for my daily create that I made with a very strange collection of words.

For today’s daily create I made a tape sculpture of a vitamin box. I never take my vitamins so I figured they were more useful for this project than anything else.

  For the video essay assignment I really wanted to do my commentary on episode 11 of season 3 because it is my favorite episode thus far. Stringer is one of the most interesting characters and his attempt to rise above the gangster world and enter the business world and the resulting fall is so sad, […]

My second assignment was a lot of fun. I decided to do the 60-second day video and chose to do it on a Wednesday because that is when The Blue & Gray Press is made. The newspaper takes up my entire day for the most part and that is definitely reflected in this video where […]

For my first assignment I chose the “name that book” assignment. I used Vine to create three images that correspond with the three main words of a book title as follows: The _____ of _____ ______. It was easy to make and fun to think of ways to express the book title. Good luck figuring […]

I just want to read With a sweater and hot tea. Done with school for now. I did today’s daily create on making a smart alec haiku and had a little fun with it. It was easy to write because it is exactly how I am feeling as the semester gets even harder.

I did today’s writing daily create on writing a few zeugmas. I combined mine into one angry zeugma-packed poem of sorts. Today is production day for The Blue & Gray Press newspaper and it has been quite exhausting. I’ll just say that I was inspired for this poem. Today I’m editing articles and my life. […]

For my second inspire post this week I chose Wafflestomper’s (great name) post on the Downton Abbey/Wire mashup- Downton Shabby. It was totally hilarious and as I watch both shows, I understood it. The juxtaposition of high class British society with the Wire’s broken down Baltimore was too perfect. This post inspired me to be […]
