http://janellegelino.com/assignments/audio-assignment-soundboard-conversation-4pts-fifty-shades-of-hallmark/ Janelle’s fifty-shades-of-hallmark post has definitely been one of my favorites so far. It was really funny and so creative.

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/apophenia/ (three and a half stars) For this assignment I had to find an object and then make different versions of the same object.

He starts his day off by arriving at his hotel about 30 minutes … Continue reading Storytelling Collage

My favorite part of the week was walking Briscoe the dog. It was on Monday when the weather was really warm and sunny so it was a great day to be outside. Walking Briscoe is my job but it didn’t feel like work at all! To make this picture I printed out a picture of … Continue reading My Favorite Part of the Week

I listened to the radio show Noir D&D. I was very confused at first but I think I started to catch on a little bit by the end. It was a little hard to follow what they were talking about because I have no idea what the game D&D is or how it is played. … Continue reading ds106 radio show listen along

It was great to see everyone’s progress this week with their shows and to look at and comment on their daily creates. My favorite Daily Create to read about was the weasel poems because they were so funny. To me the Daily Creates took a little more thought this week, but that isn’t a bad … Continue reading Week Seven Summary

What we … Continue reading Radio Show Progress #2

This week we began the formation of our groups for the radio shows. Christine is my roommate so we decided to be in the same group.

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/spooky-sounds/ (Four Stars) Scott Brinkmann’s hotel can be very scary at night! Here are some sounds you might hear while walking around the hotel. You could hear anything from footsteps, screams, and the howling wind to even ghosts!

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-it-800-slower/ (Three Stars) This is “Girl Inform Me” by the Shins, it is Scott Brinkmann’s favorite song. It might be a little hard to recognize because it is slowed down 800%. To do this I took a song off of my iTunes and put it into Audacity. I then used the effect Paulstretch to slow it down. … Continue reading Scott Brinkmann’s favorite song 800% slower

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/so-and-sos-greatest-hits/ (Three Stars) This is a mash-up of five of my favorite Kendrick Lamar Songs.

I chose Kendrick Lamar because he is one of my favorite … Continue reading Kendrick Lamar Mash-Up

This weeks concepts were a little harder for me to understand. I found the concept of design kind of confusing at the beginning. I couldn’t get a really good grasp on what it meant. After doing the readings and watching the films I believe I began to understand a little better. I felt like there … Continue reading Week Five Summary

I think there is a valid point that the copyright laws hinder creativity, but I also think it is valid for creators to want to protect the rights to their work. Copyright laws can prevent individual creativity by not allowing them to alter any existing work, as well as the laws acting over aggressively. However … Continue reading Copyright & Creative Commons

This booklet helps to explain the discipline behind graphic design. It shows that the small details of the piece matter to make the whole. The design should have purpose and a meaning for why it was created. It should also be ordered in some type of way. The work does not always have to be perfectly … Continue reading Vignelli Canon

I watched the film Double Indemnity. The built environment around the Dietrichson house is luxurious, they have a nice house and live in an upscale area with Spanish looking houses. Walters office is a more business like environment, his office overlooks all of the other desks on the lower floor. Dominance is shown when Walter … Continue reading Film Design

My design blitz incorporates four different concepts in the field of design. This photo shows dominance because the vine and moss are taking over the tree and living on its surface. I think dominance is effective in photos because it shows strength and power. This photo of my drawing shows rhythm because the shapes and … Continue reading Design Blitz

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/wait-whered-that-guy-come-from/ (Three Stars) I used paint to create this photo. I decided that the sky was too plain and needed some action so the army had to step in.

For my super power I would want the ability to talk to animals. I am always so curious about what they are really thinking and what they would have to say to me, if I had this power I could finally find out.
