Wow, this week was intense, and I only see it getting harder from here. I spent a good portion of this week trying to just make last weeks additions fit in better, I re-titled things, organized them better, and made sure things were all going smoothly. I feel that this week I made a really […]

For this GIF assignment I was supposed to make a GIF of either weather or a weatherman. I always have found the clip I used hilarious that this weatherman can pronounce llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch with no problems whatsoever. My gif can be found here The assignment link can be found here And here’s a video on how […]

For this GIF assignment I was to make a GIF with one of my favorite musicians. I have no idea how to embed that onto here, so you can find the GIF I made here. The assignment link is here Steps: Google how to make a GIF because the link on the week 2 page […]

  This project was really interesting to me, it definitely made me look at things a lot harder than I normally would have, but also made me think of the signs and products I see day to day more critically.

For this assignment I was to design my own tshirt. Since I love walruses so much, the choice was simple! I loved the color of the walrus painting I found and decided that if I were to make a shirt I would probably want that on it, with just a silly sentence for fun. The […]

For this assignment the directions were to take a picture of a 70’s rock band, take a quote from a different 70’s rock band, state that the quote was from yet another different 70’s rock band, and then create a picture displaying it. For mine I took a picture of Led Zeppelin, a quote from […]

For this assignment I was to make a venn diagram related to something in current pop culture, so I figured why not use characters from the newest follow up to Finding Nemo. I saw Finding Dory a few weeks ago and it was amazing, it made me cry, and it gave me all the feels. […]

For this design assignment I was required to take a quote from a movie and overlay it onto a picture from the movie. I decided to do Harry Potter, mostly because the books and movies are the most inspirational and meaningful ones I have ever come across. The quote I chose was said by Dumbledore […]

I found that the Vignelli Canon was a very interesting read, the only problem being that I don’t have an extreme interest in how things are presented. Yeah, I can appreciate when things look good, and I enjoy the style and colors, and I can sit back and see how much work the creation of […]

@ds106dc #tdc1635 Once upon a time a man realized he was different, so he went to NYC. He took a blood test and everything fell into place. — Elizabeth Caplan (@WalrusQueenAbby) June 30, 2016

First off, wow, I never knew I could be capable of doing so much of these things on my own. For the first week, I feel that I accomplished a major part of the assignment, but probably not all of it. There were so many parts that really confused the hell out of me. For […]

#ds106dc #tdc1631 $10 OBO! You haul it. What is it? Who knows! Probably would make a sweet doomsday bunker, though! pic.twitter.com/mKR5ZMNl3A — Elizabeth Caplan (@WalrusQueenAbby) June 26, 2016

One of my childhood homes was in Troutdale, Oregon. I spent a few years in this cute little house with my mom. It was just a two block stroll from the cute and antique shop filled downtown part of Troutdale. #ds106 #dailycreate #tds1630 This is my childhood home. A modest 2br 1ba in Oregon. pic.twitter.com/YXBVUsNK6b […]

This was a fun one. I took a picture that I’ve had of myself since I was a teenager (I’m 24 now), I took a trip to Disneyworld when I was 15, and celebrated my 16th birthday on a Disney cruise with my (then) best friend, and our moms. I have always been a big […]

This visual assignment really caught my eye. I love patterns and repetition, but I also love colors and chaos. This program, WeaveSilk, is amazingly beautiful. You create your own mixture of colors and patterns to create something truly you. Any type of program that can make me feel completely relaxed and peaceful is a necessity […]

Hawkeye is my favorite person (dog) to spend time with. He is my 5.5 year old Treeing Walker Hound. He weighs a hefty 65lbs, and as you can see from the collage, he LOVES to sleep. This is my second visual assignment of the week, and I’m feeling really stressed out trying to get all […]

Well, this was an interesting visual assignment. With the requirement being, take an eye (this is my eye), and overlay something into it like a reflection, as well as no background in photo editing, I think I did a fairly decent job. I got my eye on some pizza, and some pizza…on my eye. My […]

First off, I chose to do this in my house, because it’s been nasty and rainy, and I didn’t think I wanted to take a picture of someone else’s feet in public. So I improvised. The experience was overall kind of stressful, I felt panicked trying to figure out what to take pictures of, or […]

How interesting to be using Twitter for a college course! #ds106 — Elizabeth Caplan (@WalrusQueenAbby) June 23, 2016
