This week I completed three Daily Creates! The first one was about words on the wall. I wanted to tie Bob Ross into this. The second one was about Facebook being down. The third one was about a dog creating a password.
I was super productive this week! I began with creating my group and then brainstorming ideas for our radio show. I recored and commercial and bumper for our show The Core. Making both of these was really fun! I met with my group and we made our radio show intro and planned out what we …
I decided to carry last weeks theme into this assignment. I created a logo and a sticker for our radio show. I used Canva for templates and then switched around colors and fonts. I really enjoy making stickers and logos even though these want realistically go anywhere.
My group got started working right away. We all agreed on the topic “Freshman advice” because we think we can give a lot of good insight while making it enjoyable. We created a group chat to start brainstorming ideas and figuring out when we wanted to meet up. This week we each have started to …
I chose to create a bumper that promoted our radio show. I went plain and simple with this one. I added some back ground music to layer on top of my voice. I had to record this a few times because I kept messing up on my words, but I finally got! I downloaded it …

This is my first time ever creating a Radio Bumper and I have to say that I was very nervous do this. I had to re-record my voice so many times. I am someone that does not enjoy hearing their voice after being recorded but as I figured out what I was going to say …
Everyone knows that there is a strong love hate relationship between cats and dogs. With the dog in control of this situation I felt this was the most likely thing that they would say.
You’re Listening to DS106 radio with The Core… Our radio show is giving advice to freshman at Mary Washington. We all remember freshman year as being very overwhelming and not easy to navigate. So we thought it would be helpful to give them some tips and tricks we have discovered
Unfortunately, I was not able to participate in DS106 radio. Due to my conflicting schedule with my classes and work, I was unable to make it in to listen to everyone’s bumper. However, if we ever get the chance to do this again, I would love to participate share some of my audio creations! Sorry …
I attempted the All the Relaxation assignment. In this challenge, we were tasked with putting some relaxing audio sounds together. For this assignment, I used the Snowfall audio, the ocean waves audio and the heavy rain audio. All of these sounds put together really and truly make me feel so relaxed. I even almost fell …
For this post, I took on the challenge of making a sick beat. Like I have stated before in one of my posts, I have never really had to really listen and put beats together to make it sound decent. I have experience with playing instruments like piano, violin and guitar but I have always …
So far progress has been great for my group! Yesterday we got together over the phone and I created an organized google doc where we have everything written out and assigned. During this call we agreed that we did not want our show to be serious, so we went with a more light hearted idea. … Read more "Progress"
I used Canva in order to create my group’s promotional poster for our Radio Show. I went for a really simplistic style that still caught the viewer’s attention. Everything I used on this poster was free on Canva! I just inserted the background and resized the image to fit the poster. From there I picked … Read more "Promo Poster"
For the Sound Effects Story assignment, I decided to put together some audio sound effects to make it seem like one was taking a ride through the park. For this assignment, I imported sounds of a bicycle riding, children/adults talking and playing in the park, a dog barking, snowfall calming music, a water stream/streaming water. …
Record glimpses of different sounds you hear throughout the day, at university, your job, or your city. Compile as many sounds as you would like (ideally in 10 second burst), this makes it easier for editing, chopping, and creating. Then, lay the sounds on some background music you borrow or
We are on a roll within my group. We have already came up with so many ideas for our show. We met on the 5th and went over a bunch of the different aspects of the radio show. During the meeting we were able to come up with a radio show name (Stories From Behind… Continue reading Stories From Behind the Counter Progress
For this assignment I started off with using a site that was made for creating bumper stickers. The problem with the site that caused me to use a different one was the customization options. I switched over to using a site called Canva. This was a super easy site to use. With so many opportunities… Continue reading Radio Bumper Sticker
I was trying to think of something I could get people to buy without seeing a picture and that related to our radio show. I chose to record a commercial for a planner named The Core. My best advice fro incoming freshman in college was to stay organized whether that is with a planner or …
For the first audio assignment I did this week, I decided to modify the “80’s Product Radio Commercial” assignment so I could create a commercial for our upcoming radio show project. At this point in the week, my group (The Fab Five) have ...
Within this assignment, you must find some spooky sounds and create a scary audio clip. Select more than four sounds and overlap them on a program like Audacity. You can use Freesound to select your sounds. Make them as spooky as possible. Good luck!” This assignment was by far one of my most favorite ones… Continue reading Spooky Season
This assignment doesn’t have anything to do with our radio show but I still wanted to do it because it looked fun. I tried to create New York City as that’s my favorite place I’ve been too so far. I used the sounds of cars driving, people honking (of course), and even added a background …
I feel that this is what happens to a good portion of people when the internet goes out. People become so invested in social media that when they don’t have that anymore they don’t know how to function around real human beings.
For our radio show project for DS106, our group decided to take a creative approach and recreate an episode of a radio drama from the 1950s. I was actually the one to come up with this idea a few weeks ago when we were brainstorming ideas for this pro...
