Zombies hate the water from Shannon Swanson on Vimeo. I made a new assignment for Video week – create or recreate a scene from a horror film! For this one, I was trying to get a sort of kind of Night of the Living Dead meets Blair Witch Project feel. I am a little disappointed ...
This was a lot more difficult than I anticipated. I had to “match” fake dialogue to the flow of their voices. Took a lot of work, I’m pretty proud of it. Hope you enjoy!
First on the menu, we have a Hitler parody video. Most likely will be my usual ds106 vs ds107 schtick. I love these videos and I’ve always wanted to make one. Now I have an excuse. Artistic expression.. yes. Next, I will be mashing up two movie trailers. For now, I’m brainstorming, but I’m pretty ...
Teen angst by Shannon Nicole Swanson
I found an old entry from my xanga account I thought it would work well for the project. I thought about putting some background music on it but I think it sounds more dramatic “as is”
I unfortunately got a little lazy. I’ve been pretty busy these past few days. But I managed to get this in my busy schedule
Could definitely see this on a t-shirt
My brother is coming to visit me for the evening and I promised him I would make him skittle vodka to try. This picture is of it still marinating, I wasn’t able to get the vodka due to credit card issues (long story) until this afternoon, and it usually requires a whole day to sit ...
Another shoot! I made the choice recently to get my monroe (actually, I think the right side is a madonna..) pierced. A lot of people said not to. The mouth is dirty, it’ll get infected, etc. etc. But I’ve had it for almost a week and no problems yet! I love piercings and tattoos, I ...
For some reasons I totally forgot that we had to put these on our blogs as well. Don’t ask me why. It must be coming with old age. Anyhow, here’s all of the daily shoots from the past four shoots. Except for the attraction one. For some reason I remembered that one.. The first ...
You all probably think I’m obsessed with this movie now, haha. But it’s giving me lots of inspiration! Here’s my travel poster from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Let’s see.. well, the line on the poster is from the movie itself. They first meet in Montauk, and then decide to find each other there ...
I did a poster for my favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! The orange sweatshirt is an iconic piece in this film. It’s the hoodie Clementine is wearing when she first meets Joel at the beach party, and it reappears often throughout the movie. I started by using the font Thin Lines and ...
Tim Owens is making awesome headway in ds106. Tim, I also struggle(d) with computer science. Graphic design is the perfect middle ground! Interesting response to the perception of art majors. People have a lot of misconceptions about art majors, so it’s exciting to hear about someone who isn’t typically “artsy” go on the path of ...
VIDEODROME In honor of Dr. O’blivion so graciously teaching our course, I decided to do a four icon challenge based on his breakout (and only) role in Videodrome. *SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE MOVIE* The handcuffs represent the material broadcasted in Videodrome (oh, you know what I’m talking about). The television is clearly, well, ...
I thought it’d be cool to read out loud what I had written in iTunes. I think others should do this as well, it’ll give a new perspective on what you’ve written for the assignment
I decided to do the project about telling a story for several reasons. I’ve been doing picture after picture for this class so far. It was refreshing not to have to grab my camera for an assignment. I’m a big music person (aren’t most people?) so this was a perfect assignment for me. Maybe it ...
I had lots of ideas for this daily shoot. But after hanging out with my super cool bff Erika I realized that there were definitely “sparks” between us (HA! Get it?! SPARKS! BAHAHA!)
After some much appreciated advice from Dr. O’blivion’s TA Jim Groom, I realized that I simply wasn’t doing enough to help find him! So I decided to make another poster to help further this campaign the best that I can! Jim Groom’s advice to go to dafont.com, one of my favorite websites to waste hours ...
Today (and yesterday) has been all about taking the ordinary and flipping it on it’s head. The dailyshoot assignment for today was to take something ordinary from a different angle. My visual assignment that I chose to do was to take someone from ordinary to extraordinary. But this juxtaposition got me thinking. How do ...
I am SO distressed. After finally getting my new friend Leelzebub over here to search for Dr. O’Blivion with me HE GOES MISSING. This is a travesty! A tragedy! I will never recover. Not until I find the Doctor MYSELF. I made this poster in a quick effort to help find such a brilliant mind! ...
