These past two weeks have been pretty interesting with the radio show to keep up with. However, it was not as hard as I thought it was going to be and I actually had a ton of fun! Our group has been chatting over email since we first got the assignment, so we already had […]

I am so excited to make our own radio show! I’ve always wanted to do something like this, even though I have no idea how to begin. My group came up with the idea of memes. A meme is a funny picture that has a caption to it that is often spread throughout the internet. […]

Assignment 4: Over-Dramatic Lip Reading (2.5 stars) For this assignment, my goal was to take an ordinary reading and transform it into something far more dramatic than it actually is.  To do this, I took an HGTV magazine I found on my coffee table, and picked an article. For those of you who don’t know, […]

I made this poster bumper for our radio show that is centered around memes! I think that this accurately describes what we will discuss during our show. Our goal is to inform everyone about the history of memes and go into detail about who makes them, how to make them, and how they came about. […]

@ds106dc my attempt at a snowflake concrete poem #tdc1733 #whereiswinter pic.twitter.com/mc6EhGpND7 — emily dzubak (@emillaaaaaaay) October 7, 2016 My favorite silent thing is a snowflake!

Assignment 3: Song Story (2.5 stars) The task for this assignment was just to post a song that has a nice memory attached to it. The Middle by Jimmy Eat World is one of my all time favorite song. One of the main reasons I love it so much is because this is also my dad’s […]

Assignment 2: Cover Combination (3 stars) My task for this assignment was to make a mash up of an original song and a cover that has been done of it. I decided to go with You Spin Me Right Round originally sung by Dead or Alive and mash it with Flo Rida’s Right Round.  I […]

Assignment 1: Remake that Genre! (3 stars) For this assignment, I had to pick one song from a certain genre, and then pick another version of that song that is in a completely different genre. I chose to do the song “Ms. Jackson”, originally sung by Outkast, a popular Hip Hop group, in 2000 and […]

This was a fun week in the digital storytelling world!! I got off to a good start this week and really enjoyed each of the assignments that I did. I hit a little bit of a road block when I was trying to post some of my assignments to my blog. It wouldn’t let me […]

This reading from Austin Kleon’s book talked about looking at the outcome of a project. Artists tend to look at only the finished product but not the process. The final outcome isn’t what makes it art. but it’s the hours and hours of time that goes int making it into that finished product. I thought […]

#OldBooksIDareNotPartWith my bae Junie B! @ds106dc #tdc1727 pic.twitter.com/YORu7Nncwy — emily dzubak (@emillaaaaaaay) October 1, 2016 Junie B. Jones books were my favorite books all throughout elementary school!! I think I own every single one of her books. Definitely a great childhood memory.

Assignment 4: The Big Hip Hop (1.5 stars) For this assignment, I had to choose a photo from The Big Picture, which is a website that has some of the best images taken by Globe photographers in the past month, and then add popular song lyrics to it. I scrolled through and came across this […]

Assignment 3: Valentine (4 stars)   This assignment required me to make an extremely early Valentine’s Day card. I had to take whatever love-oriented picture I wanted and add something that made it for Valentine’s Day. I started my google searching the word “love”. I found this funny picture of heart hands I chose it […]

Assignment 2: On the Cover of a Teen Mag (4 stars) For this assignment, I had to take a picture of a political or education figure (or someone you would not see on a magazine) and put their face on a teen magazine. It caught my eye because 5th grade me was a huge fan […]

Assignment 1: One Story, Four Icons (3 stars) The goal of this assignment was to reduce a movie into its basic elements and then turn those elements into visuals or pictures that represent them. I chose this assignment because I love movies, and figured it would be something fun to get me into this new […]

This assignment required us to really put what we have learned about Design Principles to the test, and take pictures of four of the ten concepts in design. It’s very important to practice stuff like this, especially when learning something completely new. This is a foreign concept to a lot of us, and if we […]

@ds106dc I took this picture of the UMW Belltower in 2013, but it looks like it is from long before #tdc1726 pic.twitter.com/4PMidSZqSv — emily dzubak (@emillaaaaaaay) September 29, 2016 I love this filter on photos. I think it’s so cool that you can make something look older just by changing the contrast or exposure. This […]

@ds106dc circles inside of circles! #tdc1725 pic.twitter.com/dvJorLMGzL — emily dzubak (@emillaaaaaaay) September 28, 2016 This Daily Create was a bit random but I went with it!! I just googled pictures of circles and picked the one that I thoug...

Massimo Vignelli and Ed Benguiat are two artists that pursued a career in graphic design. Both artists had no idea that they would ever get into this field, as Vignelli studied architecture and Benguiat doing other things. However, both of them have become two of the most influential and successful designers in the world, just […]

It’s the end of the week! This week was definitely not one of my favorite themes. I had a little bit more trouble completing these assignments, as I needed to be in a quiet place where I could not be bothered. I typically do all of my homework on campus, as I live in a […]

Imagine a door where you could open into whatever world you imagined. If you really wanted some nice wine or a baguette, open the door and you’re in Paris! Or maybe you wanna catch some waves..next thing you know you are in Austrailia! I think there should definitely be this kind of door for everyone to […]

For my Sound Effects Story, I used free sound.org and started to explore the different sounds they had on the homepage. I found three sounds that I think work great together to tell a story: dogs barking, wind chimes, and a threatening thunder storm. Together, these three sounds make for an interesting story. On a dark […]

Sound is one of the most important aspects in any type of storytelling. Without sound, how are you to know what is going on? If you look at it from different perspectives, you can kind of understand. Think about this: if you did not have a visual of something you are watching, at least you […]

Radio shows are such a great tool for creativity.  There are endless topics, whether it be one consistent theme, or multiple all rolled together in one show. Throughout the week, I have been brainstorming some different topics: childhood embarrassments: people call in and share funny their hilarious and super embarrassing moments they had when they […]

My go to food is usually something that is smothered in cheese. That is why I decided to type the word cheese into my future blog title. @ds106dc #tdc1717 sounds like a great blog title to me! pic.twitter.com/e3nbHXTHng — emily dzubak (@emillaaaa...

When I was little, I would for some reason always doodle a house in the snow. I’m not really sure why. It was something that I could easily draw and didn’t have to think about. There are a lot of artistically talented people in the world, and I am not one of them. But I have […]

Assignment 3: Kiss the Guy (4.5 stars) Let me start out by saying I am so embarrassed of this assignment. I have the worst voice ever and i couldn’t even take myself seriously while singing. My roommate watched me record this and was laughed at me the whole time, which is why I had such […]

Assignment 2: Celebrity Speed Dating (3 stars) I LOVED this one!!! It has been my dream to meet someone famous for my entire life. I don’t know what I would do if I cam across one of my one million celebrity crushes. I would probably faint, or be too nervous to talk to them. Or […]
