This week was more difficult for me than previous weeks. I think audio media is the thing I am least comfortable with and the section I was dreading the most. It took a lot more time this week to complete these tasks, and if I’m being honest, dont think the quality of the posts is […]

As in previous weeks, this weeks’ assignments challenged me to be more creative and use new tools. I used photoshop for the first time and actually learned something fun that I might use for future social media posts. My phone has an amazing camera so one would think that I would use it more often, […]

When reading the instructions for this week, I was a little overwhelmed about everything there was to do. 3 assignments from the assignment bank, 4 days of posts from the daily create, editing my blog, and commenting on others posts seemed like a lot for one week. I started to stress and worry that I […]

This week was really challenging for me because I am not very tech-savvy. I could not get the website design how I wanted it for the life of me and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out how to work everything on WordPress. I know in hindsight it really wasn’t THAT hard, but […]

We have finally reached the end of the class and are starting on the project we have been talking about all semester! And I am very excited. For my final project, I am going to be recreating part of the “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Huston music video by with my own vocals. I am going to try and replicate every outfit and scene from about a minute of the music video (roughly 0:57-2:03, which is the first verse and chorus). I am going to record myself singing the song instead of Whitney to lip synch to. I […]

Well, things are still pretty boring around here. I’m over it. This week I created 8.5 stars worth of Mashups which ended up being only two. They didn’t take all that long to create, but the apps crashed on me a whole bunch. I really should...

This week was so much fun! I got to do so much photoshop with my assignment, which I LOVED! It was also a relatively easy week which was nice because my other classes have been piling on the work. The first thing I did this week was work on the mash-up assignments! The first one I did was called “Animoji Karaoke.” For this one I first made myself into an Animjoi character and then I did karaoke to a song that I thought was super fitting for our current situation. Here is the final product: If you wanna read my […]

This was a rough week for me. Our cat passed away unexpectedly, and I’m absolutely devasted. This class helped get my mind off of it even if only for a few hours, and for that I am grateful. This week my group and I completed our video project. I...

This was another fun, but easier week. I had a lot going on this week so it was nice to have a class where I could just use my creative side and not worry too much about it. This week was very similar to last week in terms of the content I created. To start off the week I worked on the assignments. We had to complete 10 stars worth of assignments this week. I chose to do two 4 stars and one 2.5 stars assignments. The first assignment I completed was called “A Word…A Picture…A Story.” I think I […]

This week we started working on video assignments. I got back together with my podcast group. We decided to create a documentary style fictional video on life after COVID-19. We each created trailers for our video. The video show plan and my trailer ar...

This was a pretty easy week in terms of work load for this class, which I was super thankful for considering the work is piling up in my other classes. I did have a lot of fun doing the work for the week though! I started off the week doing some research on the video editing process by watching the videos that were put up on the Weekly Assignments. I really felt like I learned a lot from watching all the videos and really enjoyed creating a video critique of my own. I decided to choose the ending scene from […]

This week has been rough on my end. I’m still working through adjusting to all the new schedules, but I’m getting there. DS 106 has been the only constant thing in my life this semester and for that I am extremely grateful. This week I crea...

This has definitely been the most stressful week so far but not because of this class. Like I’ve mentioned in other posts from the week, school has been put online for the remainder of the semester. This week, this class was not too bad in terms of work, and the work I was doing in class helped me get my mind off everything that’s been going on. The first thing I did this week was listen to my radio show on the DS106 Radio! It was super fun to be able to hear what my group and I had worked […]

With the cancellation of classes, moving solely online for the next three weeks, and preparing for isolation things have been a little crazy to say the least. Our class is fortunate to have been working online since the beginning of the semester, so fo...

This week was hectic, but overall the most exciting week so far. My team and I figured out what we want our radio show to be about, and we were able to complete 3 bumpers for our show, and 2 promos.

Design week was ok. I had difficulties creating some of the assignemtns. My assignments for this week can be found here.

What a fun week! Like I have said in previous posts, I am very interested in design as something I want to do as a career, most specifically website design and graphic design. I had a lot of fun taking stuff I learned and worked on in other classes into this week. My favorite part of the week was definitely the Design Assignments but I’ll talk about those a little later in this post. The first thing I did this week was research design by reading and watching the things posted on the DS106 website. I enjoyed reading the article […]

I was definitely intimidated going into this week. I have never worked with any audio editing before this week, but it was so much fun. I also liked the the live tweeting during DS106 Radio. Unfortunately only participated once because of evening class...

This week was crazy for me. It was a week where I needed my time management skills. I was busy all last weekend and then went home in the middle of this week for a concert (which was super fun). So I only had 4 full days to get all my work done. It was a bit of a struggle, and I wasn’t able to complete everything I wanted to, but I got as much done as I could which is alright with me. Besides the craziness of the week, I enjoyed the assignments and daily creates. I am a […]

I didn’t get through more than a quarter of the assignments this week. It was a rough one. It is really unfortunate because when I first read the assignment I was excited to get out and get some good original photos. It didn’t work out that...

This week has been my favorite so far. That is probably because of the amount of times I got to use photoshop. If you haven’t figured out I like photoshop so far, you must not read all my other posts 🙂 The first thing I did this week was reflect on my photography skills and my opinion of photography in general. This was fun for me because photography is something I love, even if that means just getting to look at others pictures! I shared some of the recent photography I got to be apart of so make sure to […]

The writing assignments were not that hard and I accidentally did not post one of my daily creates. Even though I wont get credit for the one I missed I’ll still include it in my weekly summary.

This is all the work from this week. You can find my daily creates here. My favorite was the family photo album from my zine. I’m not an artist, and didn’t have actual photos, so I used an app called HP Reveal to add the pictures. It’...

I started the week off my reading and watching the videos that were posted on the class site. I found them super interesting and liked that I was able to relate what I learned back to things I use everyday. I especially liked the video on the plot graphs of movies. I thought the video had a lot of humor to it which make it more fun to watch. I decided to talk about the movie Sixteen Candles and write a review on its storytelling. I love the movie so it was super easy for me to dissect it and […]
