    Guess This Song

    by
    For the Favorite Song Assignment, I’m suppose to choose my favorite song, remove the vocals, and see if people can guess the song by listening to only 30 seconds of the song. Choosing which song is my favorite is nearly impossible for me, so I chose a song that I have been very fond of … Continue reading Guess This Song

    “Create a T-Shirt” Assignment

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-a-t-shirt/ This assignment asked me to create a T-shirt.

    “Missing Person” Assignment

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/missing-person/ This assignment asked me to create a poster for someone who is missing. It’s straight forward, but I decided to have some fun with it. I used InDesign for this assignment, and I did it from scratch. My main concern for this assignment was making it as readable as possible. Choosing the right font … Continue reading “Missing Person” Assignment

    Radio Show Ideas

    by
    I have a great idea for an internet radio show that my classmates and I could do. The show would essentially just be about pop culture. It would be about things that us nerdy digital media students could talk about for days. This could include things like Star Wars, Doctor Who, music taste, or even … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

    What Andy Mckee’s “Drifting” Means to Me

    by
    Assignment link: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/what-a-song-might-mean-to-you/ This assignment asked me to record myself explaining what a song means to me. The part of this assignment that made me thing the most was deciding which song to talk about. I’m a music fanatic, so there’s a whole library of songs that are meaningful to me. Thus, I decided to go … Continue reading What Andy Mckee’s “Drifting” Means to Me

    My Own Theme Song

    by
    Assignment link: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/your-theme-song/ I couldn’t help myself when I saw an assignment that involved writing your own theme song. I chose to write my own theme from scratch. I used FL Studio to recreate something I had already written on my bass. The long winded way to do this assignment would be to record my own … Continue reading My Own Theme Song

    by
    I’m a bit late to the party, but that’s okay, I’m always fashionably late if I’m late.

Link: https://mdseim.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/ds106-assignments/ The assignments were the bulk of … Continue reading Week 3 Summary

    Ds106 Assignments

    by
    A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing The first assignment I did was the “A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing” assignment. My task was to take a logo of a company and redesign it representing the company’s rival. Thus, I chose to do the Jayhawk representing K-State. I chose the Jayhawk because I’m evil and like to create … Continue reading Ds106 Assignments

    Cool Soundboards

    by
    Jack Black Soundboard http://www.realmofdarkness.net/pc/sb/jb/1 The different categories of sounds made this one stand out to me, as opposed to the random assortment of some soundboards. SGT Hartman Soundboard http://www.realmofdarkness.net/pc/sb/hartman/2 This soundboard added different colors and more organization to build on the theme of categories. Death (Family Guy) Soundboard http://www.realmofdarkness.net/pc/sb/fg/death The typography is atrocious, but this … Continue reading Cool Soundboards

    Metal Skyrim Logo Design

    by
    In my Fundamentals of Visual Literacy class, we made designs that are being sent out to be cut into a metal design. I decided to go with the Skyrim logo. It’s simple, easy to do, and recognizable. The process is quite simple, I just created the design with the pen tool and colored it black.

    Picasso pls

    by
    Our task was to mimic one of Picasso’s drawings, but the catch was that we had to do it upside down. This was so we thought of the lines as just lines, not shapes or objects. We were playing a clever trick on our mind. What you see above was the outcome. It was all … Continue reading Picasso pls
