This week was interesting to say the least. I think the most enjoyable part about this week was watching the youtube videos and listening to how graphic design is really an art form and a science and writing a commentary on Kidd’s work. I enjoyed the design blitz and it was really insightful and cool […]

March 4, 2021

Okay so this isn’t a motivational poster. I lied. It’s more a fun little twist I put on it because I wanted to. I used Photoshop to compile the picture, frame, and text all together. Enjoy the finished product.

March 4, 2021

Instead of reporting a fictional character or just one person, I included both my girlfriend and I! I made most of the characteristics a bit of a joke, but overall please find her and I. I used Photoshop to compile all the characteristics and photo. I also just realized I put 1994 for the Fall […]

Book Cover for a Digital Storytelling Apocalypse

by @imatutu_

| assignmentbank, designassignments, DesignAssignments2187, Syndicated
March 4, 2021

I tried to make this book cover seem all eerie and mysterious using Photoshop to put drop shadow and text onto this google images dystopian photo, but I don’t think I did too hot. I have no clue what I meant when I typed “nobody cared until the bells rang”, it just seemed suspenseful and […]

March 4, 2021

For this design assignment I used photoshop to color the t-shirt black and put the text and picture onto the shirt. I think the final product came out well, and I just had to put the classic Star Wars Anakin and Obi-Wan quote on there, I couldn’...

Design Blitz

March 4, 2021

I walked around campus for about half an hour trying to find some good design elements of buildings or the pavement that I could find, but instead I thought, “why don’t I use every day items that I see in my room?” So I went back to my dorm room and found a few things. […]

Kidd Design

March 4, 2021

My brother used to be heavily interested in graphic design when he was in high school and I remember him explaining a ton of these concepts to me, being a young middle schooler who’s got no clue what he was talking about. I think the notion that “the best solution to a problem is found […]

February 26, 2021

This week was a doozie! I will admit this week was a lot of work and audio storytelling I can already tell is going to be my hardest form of storytelling to master, but overall this week was a lot of fun! I think my favorite assignment out of this week was the tweet along […]

Radio Show Brainstorm

by @imatutu_

| #radioshowideas, Syndicated, thematic
February 26, 2021

I think it’s an interesting idea to try and make a 30 minute radio talk show. I would be interested to tell a story about anything really, my story is your story. I do think, however, it will be hard for me to stretch out just me and few other people talking on a radio […]

Worst Sounds EVER

by @imatutu_

| #AudioAssignments, assignmentbank, AudioAssignments2140, Syndicated
February 26, 2021

This was literally awful. It was absolutely awful finding all of these sounds and having to listen to them to cut them all together. Honestly, worst few minutes of my entire audio storytelling career, but at least I have an mp3 file that I can abuse my friend’s ears with! Here’s the audio if you […]

Humming this Song Out of My Head

by @imatutu_

| #AudioAssignments, assignmentbank, AudioAssignments2136, Syndicated
February 26, 2021

For this assignment, I had Funky Galileo, by Sure Sure, stuck in my head so I hummed the entire song to get it out of there. Unfortunately, its too good of a song to leave so I think humming the whole thing made it more engrained in there. Oh well! I used Logic Pro to […]

Tweet Along Radio

February 26, 2021

This was honestly one of the most fun hours of my life I have completed that has been, in essence, schoolwork. It’s really just a different experience engaging in not only what people are saying, but the background music and ambience effects that are edited and incorporated into the story to produce such an engaging […]

February 26, 2021

For an eight second little mp3 file that I made, this was actually a lot of fun to make. I used my internal microphone and my audio program called Logic Pro that’s built into my computer to complete this assignment. Here it is!

Audio Graffiti

by @imatutu_

| #audioreflection, Syndicated
February 23, 2021

Sound is as vital of a part of storytelling as any medium similar to it such as visuals or texts. If one separates sound from the video that is tagged along with it, it becomes clear that the sound encourages the imagination to create the video in which the sound suggests. In this level of […]

February 19, 2021

This week was almost as fun as the last week! Personally, I don’t enjoy photography, but somehow the photoblitz made it really fun for me. I also found it very insightful to analyze what makes photographs effective in this post, as well as reflecting on my past experiences with photos in this one. The In […]

February 19, 2021

Never in my life would I think I would be making my own Game of Thrones house as an assignment for a college level class. This is a first, and I’m not complaining. I used jointherealm.com’s tool for creating a house to make mine, and let me say it was a lot of fun. Anyways, […]

Special Agent Who What Now

by @imatutu_

| assignmentbank, Syndicated, visualassignments, VisualAssignments2060
February 19, 2021

For this assignment I used photoshop to mix up quotes with pictures and the attribution of the quote to some third secret agent. The picture is of Jason Bourne, the protagonist in a movie series of an excommunicated CIA black ops agent. The quote is actually said by James Bond, a secret agent similar in […]

Concert Dreams

February 19, 2021

For this assignment I used photoshop, as well as my phone camera to take a picture of my absolutely atrocious excited face (I’m so sorry). The band is Arcadian Wild, a folk signing band that I have enjoyed quite a bit over the years. One could say it adds to my story ;). Anyways, enjoy […]

Metallic Key Edit

by @imatutu_

| assignmentbank, Syndicated, visualassignments, VisualAssignments2532
February 19, 2021

For this assignment I used Photoshop to edit the blending of the key as well as using the magic wand tool to get rid of the white background and weird excess on the edges of the key. I used a crap ton of gradient markers with varying yellow/gold’s and whites on a spectrum to get […]

February 19, 2021

You can find the list of photos that were randomly chosen for me to take below. This was honestly a lot of fun, but I had some limitations, that being I was confined to my dorm room on campus and the fact that its freezing cold the entire week :). The theme is blue. Blue […]

by @imatutu_

| ds106photography, Syndicated
February 19, 2021

So these examples I will be using to analyze are not photos I have taken, but rather photos of myself and my girlfriend for Valentines Day. Since they are pretty good photos and likely have a lot of the techniques that make a good photo in them, I chose to use them for this assignment. […]

Photographic Inexperience

by @imatutu_

| photoreflection, Syndicated
February 19, 2021

In my personal experience with photos, I’ve always seemed to shy away from capturing them and also from wanting to be captured. Now, I still do not take many photos at all, but I don’t care too much if my picture is taken or not. If I were to start taking photos and getting interested […]

| Syndicated, Weekly, WeeklySummary
February 12, 2021

This week was a ton of fun to complete. Analyzing the methodology behind storytelling and the evolution of the mediums in which stories are told in this post was really thought provoking to me and was insightful into how stories are the backbone of a lot of our society. It teaches us lessons about the […]

Now I could write about a product that actually would be extremely helpful to survive the apocalypse, but where’s the fun in that! I’m going to find some extremely random item that has no use post-apocalyptic era and argue a use for it. Here it goes: This Dr. Martens Unisex 2976 Crazy Horse Chelsea Boot […]

Global Thermonuclear War

February 12, 2021

Oh how I love this silly prompt! Since the Wargames movie in 1983, I’ve always wondered what would happen if what was played out by the computer wanting to play thermonuclear war actually carried out the plans it had for human destruction on a global thermonuclear scale. I’ll write my perspective of the computer realizing […]

February 12, 2021

It’s been about 400 years since my last journal entry, but I just can’t seem to move anywhere to get a decent shade to write down my thoughts. Maybe it is because I am the shade, my leaves and all. I love when children climb on my branches or play with the tire swing hanging […]

Another Day

by @imatutu_

| assignmentbank, Syndicated, writingassignments, WritingAssignments2392
February 12, 2021

I think today is one of the most applicable days for this writing assignment, because it snowed last night and there are 3-4 inches of snow on the ground. Quite literally the definition of a Winter Wonderland. Even looking at such a boring white color, for some reason we find beauty in it being everywhere. […]

The Evolution of the Story

by @imatutu_

| storyanalysis, Syndicated
February 12, 2021

The most interesting part of the development of the methods of storytelling and how it has changed over time has been how trope-ical that stories have become. In most stories in Western society, you can draw a story back to the classic Hero’s Journey, or another common writing storytelling trope that most all good stories […]

Week Two Summary

by @imatutu_

| Syndicated, Weekly, WeeklySummary
February 5, 2021

I will start off with a saddening thought for at least myself, as due to my awful time management skills and foolishness I didn’t read anything on the week two page until Wednesday at 1:00 AM, so I was unable to complete four daily creates for this week, but I did complete two that can […]
