I actually laughed out loud when I saw this prompt and knew right away what I wanted to do. My friend Ash does the most amazing impression of the “what the hell” emoji. You know, the eyes bugged out, rosy cheek, expressionless mouth emoji. When we are out and someone is acting particularly foolish she …

I decided to do a 5 star mashup with two of my previous assignments. I began by revisiting my audio-assignments until I found one I thought would fit the best with a visual-assignment.
