A digital story that combines lots of what I have done in this class over the last few months.

 

I made it iMovie by combining all of the images I had created and the sound effect story I had created.

Movie trailer mashup! Star Wars IV A New Hope (the good) Plan Nine From Outer Space (the bad) and my result! (The ugly)

I did this in iMovie, which I have realized is not the best tool available.  I also used the trailers of those two movies which are available on YouTube at the following ...

This is one of my web assignments and web site stories.

I used Firefox and firebug and then edited it.

I saw this in the list of projects and it looked like a lot of fun to me.
I made this one a lot easier than others I had seen so I will not post the songs right away in case anyone wants to take a stab at them!
Song Challenge by ...

For my second assignment I did something I’ve done twice before; made ringtones. When I got my first phone, a Samsung flip phone that was one of the first color phones (and was a hand-me-down) I scoured the internet to find a good song that I would identify with. I settled on the theme from ...

Sorry for the late post, my computer charger somehow broke on the way home this past weekend and I haven’t gotten the replacement yet.  I’m using a friends computer but he’s not wild about me installing software on it so its slow going.  Anyhow, here is the first of three assignments I will hopefully have ...

I know that this is already a book, but Blade Runner is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? so I don’t feel bad for doing this.  I know I also already completed this assignment but I thought of this project last night and had to seen it played out.  It took many many hours in ...

One of the most intense movies I have ever seen became a fairly interesting project.  It was hard to find iconic symbols, so I went for fairly easy ones.

Update! I altered the pattern so that it would alternate better and played with the colors under the text.  Another version (that I liked less) is ...

This assignment was interesting to me because I had always wanted to get my websites to the point of advertising them on the internet.  Here was a chance to do that in an interesting way.  For this assignment I chose to publicize my music web blog Hipster Beatnik.  I created this website almost a ...

Another fun project!

This one was another photoshop heavy job, I found two iconic images of Indy and then covered them in two or three colors to simplify them.  I then feathered them to create a softer border with the background.  The background is a gradient of all of the colors in the Indiana Jones ...

Looking at the list of visual assignments that were available one stood out to me as being particularly interesting.  Being able to change and update the logo of something that everyone has used at one point or another is a great opportunity.  I have always found the iTunes logo to be outdated; it’s stuck when ...

Star Wars 4 in 4 Icons

As a student at the University of Mary Washington I am taking a class called Digital Storytelling.  The class itself deserves a blogpost for how interesting it has proven to be, but one thought has persisted through most of what has been covered.  A question called in to class and later posted on ...

I’ve been a pretty big nerd for a while, and starting my first WordPress weblog in the seventh grade.  As far as I know there are no traces of that, or the second or third or fourth attempts at creating a web presence.  This blog is probably the fifteenth or so, and I have had ...

Assignment #1, Response to Gardner Campbell’s article and video

Gardner Campbell’s article A Personal Cyberinfrastructure talks about technology’s relationship with the classroom, and how it hasn’t always been evolving in the most efficient ways.  In his essay Campbell poses the idea of giving students more control and opportunities in the schools to give them a head ...
