Thoughts on Audio Storytelling
I would agree that when Ira Glass says that writing isn’t like what you’ve been taught in highschool. Even if I had never taken a broadcasting or writing class in high school, I still understand that a paper or story isn’t going to necessarily start with any one particular topic – even if one idea […] -

Intro to Audio
In the first part of Glass’ video of storytelling, I found that it is very true where it’s very important how a sequence… -
Thoughts On Canon
I feel like the Vignelli Canon was poorly organized, from a reader’s standpoint. As someone interested in design and who has dabbled in design, I didn’t exactly agree with all of what he said, especially when he wrote, “Design without discipline is anarchy” and “Without discipline, design is automatically horrible.” I would disagree because in […] -
Reflection on The Vignelli Canon
In this first assignment of the week, we were to read on Massimo Vignelli, and how his designs were groundbreaking for other designers around the world! To start off, we learn about Massimo Vignelli and a little about his background. He was a famous Italian graphic designer in the 20th century who mainly worked on furniture,… -

From what I learned, Vigenlli seems to be at the forefront of graphic design. He started in an age of growth in the media industry -
Reflections on The Vignelli Canon
I ended up finding a great site that had a very clean and readable booklet of The Vignelli Canon. In […] -
My Thoughts on a Photo Safari
I feel like the assignment was fun, but I also feel like fifteen minutes is by far not enough time to get all the photos I needed – when already I want my photos to turn out well, and then to get that many photos for such a large list of topics or ideas felt […] -
Thoughts on Visual Storytelling
How do I feel about visual storytelling versus other types of storytelling? I feel like for me at least, trying to tell a story with just pictures versus audio or written descriptions is much harder – I feel it personally limits how exactly some could picture part of a setting, but then again, I am […] -
Reflection on Visual Storytelling
Overall, learning about new and creative ways to tell a story via creating or capturing different photos has been an amazing and exciting experience! I have never had much of a hand when it comes to photography or editing photos on my computer, so being challenged with these different tasks helped put me outside of… -
Finding hope in the land issue fear

It’s easy to slip into fear and be alarmist, but it’s a thing we have to deal with. It will slip into a race issue and will be about past sins, dignity, restoratio... -
here’s some advice
The beginning of this class was definitely overwhelming. For one, this was my first go at an online course. Understanding the necessary requirements, and needed accounts via many readings is what began the worries. But during the course of understanding the structure and how to complete a weeks worth of assignments, I began to appreciate… Read More here’s some advice -
the final crisis
Our superhero and super villain identities have been used to fight not only crimes but for our grades. It’s been an adventure using them as a creative outlet of inspiration to fuel some of our assignments. Now that the semester is slowly coming to an end, there is a need for an ultimate goal of… Read More the final crisis -

giving ds106 radio a listen!
This week we presented our radio projects! It was really interesting listening to how other groups ideas came together. My favorite part of it is the live tweeting aspect. I never knew how much I enjoyed live tweeting until this class really! It’s just cool to see a lot of the class coming together and… Read More giving ds106 radio a listen! -
// design //
You know when you make something really neat, or at least it’s neat to you and you’re all like, “graphic design is my passion!” Well, graphic design is much more than that. I truly did not know that but reading THE VIGNELLI CANON, has really opened my eyes (all while being visually pleasing). Some of the main… Read More // design // -

ds106radio experience
I tuned into the ds106 radio on Tuesday. It was really fun actually. I was skeptical because I really just didn’t know what to expect. We ended up listening to an hour show with a very intense plot and there were up to 8 listeners! There were guns, nightclubs, barber shops, sex, and brutal fights … Continue reading ds106radio experience → -
audio = storytelling
Every week we learn about a new form of storytelling. I feel that each one is important since they can support each other as well as work independently and still convey a narrative. One of the magical aspects of audio is that it doesn’t require a visual to create them. As you can hear in … Continue reading audio = storytelling → -

Reading Reflection
I just logged onto my Goodreads account and recorded 6 more books for a grand total of 60 so far this semester. I know, that sounds like an awful lot of books for only being about one month into classes but I am hoping to triple that by December. There is a bag laying on... Continue Reading →

photography to me
Photography is an art form that can tell a story without even using words. Its an art that expresses and conveys emotions that words may not be able to translate. I personally love taking pictures and even though my camera on my phone is garbage, if I have to rent out a camera from the … Continue reading photography to me → -

Malevolent Melody was born in Brooklyn, New York. She had a tough childhood growing up and often felt misunderstood by her family. She figured that the best way in coping with differences was to be positive and keep a bright smile on her face. Her best friend was someone who helped tremendously by giving her … Continue reading 🎶🎶🎶 → -
su·per·he·ro
What makes a superhero? Is it someone with an elaborate costume? Someone with strong physical ability? Or someone who has superhuman characteristics? Well according to pop culture, yes. But a superhero (without the super) is someone that we look up to and someone who guides us and encourages us to do the right thing. … Continue reading su·per·he·ro →
