The Thing from Elm street on a Friday
Favorite Movie Quote In my opinion the 80’s produced some of the best horror movies of all time. Most of the movies i’m fond of from this era are those films where you have to think about what you just watched for about twenty minutes after. The 80’s pioneered a new wave set and costume … Continue reading "The Thing from Elm street on a Friday" -

Weekly Summary #2
Hello people! So this was the first week I had to create and publish actual work for ds106. I used different platforms to create my work such as Canva. This week was a bit stressful because of all the different assignments and places to post my work at. This week taught me how to be organized for the weeks ahead. My first completed assignments this week was two daily creates that I saw on Twitter. These daily creates are so fun because I love to express what I like and filling in the blank of a sentence. It is interesting -

Maybe I misspokeā¦
I’ve made a poster of Matrix’s Morpheus, holding the iconic red and blue pills, with a quote from Sean Connery’s James Bond “Never say Never Again” giving credit to Neo, another Matrix character. I love the Matrix and always confused the characters names with one another, specifically Neo and Morpheus. I was quick to find … Continue reading Maybe I misspoke… -

@ds106dc #tdc2789 A friend of mine had an aging set of chairs on his back porch area that we used more than a few times a week. One night I went to go sit in one of the chairs and all the legs collapsed from under me. Anyone else could have broke it,... -
Never been KISSed
What’s more 80’s than full hair and makeup, lengthy guitar solos, tights, and sky high boots? That’s right- nothing. When people think of the 80’s they usually think of neon and athletic wear and forget all about the impact KISS had on 80’s style. While their popularity grew in the late 70’s the 80’s saw … Continue reading Never been KISSed -
The Colors Within
For one of my assignments I created a movie barcode. Keeping with the theme of the 80’s (but making it my own a little bit) I made one with screenshots from Bladerunner 2049. It may be obvious that this is my favorite movie- but I can’t get over how beautiful the colors are. I saw … Continue reading The Colors Within -
80s were all about crazy clothes, and bug eyes?
So this assignment seemed silly and fun and I’m all about that life. I chose two of my favorite 80s musicians and I bugified their eyes! Let’s start with the image that turned out the best: it’s Madonna! This image gave me a false sense of confidence. I photoshopped her eyes to be bigger and, ...

Daily Create Colloquialism
@ds106dc #tdc2792 For this daily create on Colloquialism, I’ve decided to use the the word yinz. I’m originally from Pittsburgh, PA and yinz is their version of the word y’all. For example, instead of “y’all have a nice day,” someone from Pittsburgh would say “yinz have a nice day.” I’m not sure the origin, but […] -

Come to the 80ās Movie Party!
Something I always wished I could do and was good at is Photoshop and graphic design. I am horribly un-creative and struggle greatly trying to think up of anything unique. However, I do like to challenge myself and see if I can do something, even if I don’t think I can. While figuring out my … -
A Message From The 80s
This assignment I chose is called Destination Post Card where you are suppose to find a destination image and add some text to it to make a postcard. Here is the destination post card I created. I did use a photo editing software on my iPad to create this called Enlight Photofox. My destination or... -
Can you guess my Haiku poem?
This is the original assignment. I chose this for a fun, new learning activity that does not include our 80s theme from the assignment bank. This writing assignment basically asked me to take my favorite fairytale and create a Haiku that will allow the reader to read it and guess what fairytale it is. This assignment was fun because I have not made a Haiku in a long time. I actually forgot what consisted of creating a Haiku, so I had to look it up and it is made up of three sentences with the first and last line having -
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR
For my first assignment I chose, Movie Posters That Matter from the visual assignment category. The instruction for this assignment was to: “modify a movie poster with a title and slug for an issue that means something to you or provides a launch point for discussion on a social issue.” There were many excellent 80’s […] -

I only listened to 80ās music until I was around 7
by @yarasaleh68 September 3, 2019I picked this activity because I was curious as to what words that I use that I feel are common but aren’t. I wrote about this story because it related to the theme during this semester and because I have so many memories of listening to 80s music with my dad. I tried thinking of …Continue reading "I only listened to 80’s music until I was around 7"

Too lazy to solve math equations? This program will help!
While looking for assignments to pick out of, I found that there was an assignment bank for coding. While being a coding nerd myself, I had to check it out. Even though there was only one thing listed, I was excited to even do it. I’m trying to minor in computer science, and for awhile …Continue reading "Too lazy to solve math equations?

Micheal Jackson, Showtime!
This is the original assignment. For this project, I chose to dig into design assignments on the ds106 assignment bank page. The directions were to design a poster for an event that is coming up and it could even be made up. Then it asked for me to advertise my poster on my social media accounts. I decided to focus on our 80s theme for this assignment and I decided to create a fiction poster. I love Micheal Jackson so when I saw I had to create a poster for an event, I immediately thought of music, Jackson, and his -

Top Gun.
by @ds106_mckayla September 3, 2019This is the original link to the assignment. I chose to take a picture of one of my all time favorite movies Top Gun from 1986. This assignment asked me for my favorite picture and why I love it so much, so I decided to create my favorite picture within seconds. The process of this assignment was I took a picture of the movie and uploaded it to my computer and then wrote up my summary and tagged the appropriate tags so it will show up on the Assignment Bank. I love Tom Cruise and the action within this movie. -
What Would the World Look Like ifā¦
For this design assignment I asked myself: What would the world look life if the Berlin Wall never fell? This is a difficult question because so many events happened before the fall of the Berlin Wall. To appropriately complete this assignment I had to set a few rules in my mind. Did technology still progress…
