    Week 7

    by
    Week 7 was okay. It seemed like less work than last week, but because we were in groups working on a project with other people, it took a little longer than expected. Because our group hasn’t come up with a name for the show or a really solid story yet, I had to avoid being … Continue reading Week 7

    Taking Back Spam

    by
    For this assignment, I used this Robot Voice Generator to read my spam comments from my blog. I thought it would be interesting to use a robot voice instead of my own voice or a different generator to read spam comments, since spam comments are usually automatically generated by “robots” and usually sound pretty nonsensical. … Continue reading Taking Back Spam

    Week 6

    by
    I thought this week was a little easier than past weeks. I liked almost all of the assignments. I already am pretty familiar with Photoshop and graphic design. One of the harder parts of this week I found was making two of the assignments related to our spy characters. A big problem I had this week … Continue reading Week 6

    Abstract: The Art of Design

    by
    For this assignment, I watch the Abstract: The Art of Design. I watched the photography episode on Platon and the graphic design episode on Paula Scher. In the photography episode, they profiled a famous portrait photographer, Platon, who has taken photographs of average people as well as famous figures like Barack Obama, Colin Powell, and Vladimir Putin. While … Continue reading Abstract: The Art of Design

    Mary White

    by
    For this assignment I created a fake ID for my spy character, Annabella Smith. Instead of just sticking with the biographical information that I already created for Annabella Smith, I wanted to create a fake ID for a spy, which would probably work best as a passport. I came up with a fake name and a … Continue reading Mary White

    You’re Invited

    by
    For this assignment I created an invitation to a masquerade ball from the Alfred Hitchcock film, which is based on a book, Rebecca. I used a few different fonts, meant to be fancy but classy. Most of the fonts already came loaded onto Photoshop, but I did download some free use fonts. The invitation is meant to be … Continue reading You’re Invited

    Design Blitz

    by
    Minimalism & use of space is shown in this postcard from a UMW Gallery exhibition. The lack of any other graphics, the use of only 2 colors, the large spaces and even spacing between the letters, and the simple font make this a minimalist design and a good use of space. The poster for Steel Magnolias is a … Continue reading Design Blitz

    Cool Graphics

    @ds106dc #tdc1868 Obviously the best poster ever created since my name is on it. Go see the senior show! Dupont Gallery! pic.twitter.com/Lktqq47WwP — Megan Carey (@megancarey95) February 18, 2017

    Week 5

    by
    This week was a big challenge for me, but I did have some fun with it. Like I said in my Moon Graffiti post, I am not really audio-inclined, and I really prefer having something in front of me to see when I am creating something, so that added even more difficulty to just coming … Continue reading Week 5

    Limetown

    by
    Even though I appreciated it and the technical aspects, I was not a huge fan of the Limetown radio show. Part of the reason is that I am not really an auditory learner, so having something to look at is a lot easier for me to get interested in. I love movies and books because … Continue reading Limetown

    Radio Bumper

    by
    This is the bumper I made for DS106 Radio. I actually lost my voice recently due to a cold, so coming up with a way to record this was challenging. I was originally going to try to find different audio files of people saying each word (“you’re,” “listening,” “to,”…), but using a robot voice generator was … Continue reading Radio Bumper

    Moon Graffiti

    by
    “Moon Graffiti” was an interesting show to listen to. I haven’t listened to many radio shows or podcasts, so it was a little different, but I picked up on a few elements of sound to tell the story. Even though the episode was short, the writing and the sounds worked together to make it effective. Mimicking … Continue reading Moon Graffiti

    A Scary Story

    by
    For the sound effects story assignment, I used Audacity to create a short story using horror sound effects. Finding the sounds didn’t take too long, but layering them and timing them correctly was the hardest part. I chose the sound of rain, a door creaking, a door closing, a creaky house with echoes, ghostly whispers, … Continue reading A Scary Story
