The best way to learn and develop a skill for design is to first become conscious of a good design when you see it. Then to evaluate and analyse what makes this design “good.” What is the design trying to communicate? Pay attention to the details, because the more details you find, the more the … Continue reading Designing

I thought a picture of a sunny day with some text about death is contradictory Contradiction Creation

This week had a lot of great tasks to complete over one of my favorite topics. With design being all around us I think it’s an important topic to learn about. Here’s my work: My DesignBlitz Post: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/10/09/designblitz/ My Design Readings Reflection: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/10/09/design-readings-reflection/ ds106 Assignment Bank Assignments: A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/10/09/a-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing/ PSA Billboard: […]

One of my tasks for this week was to do a DesignBlitz. I had to find 6 good examples of design elements and 2 bad ones. Here’s the good ones: I thought this poster I recently created has a good use of line. This is a part of the typeface project I’ve been working on […]

Design is a topic that I like very much. The great thing about design is that there are so many ways to use it. Everyone has their own way of designing and their own ideas to bring to life. Understanding the elements of design is also important if you’re trying to get better at designing. […]

I found the information and resources on design to be interesting. I didn’t realize so much went into making a good design for something. After reading some of those articles I do appreciate more all the work that artists and designers put into their work. I read the 10,000 hour article and thought that’s a […]

I read some articles and watched a few videos on some aspects of design and I was impressed by everything that goes into design. I would not be able to keep all the information in mind while designing something. Even choosing the right colors is more complicated than I would want it to be. This […]

Design is definitely something I want to learn more about. I find the psychology behind it very interesting such as the effect color has on us and how people have a natural way they scan an image. A good design has a strategy.

I tried listening to the podcast, but when I pressed the play button nothing happened. I also got multiple warnings from my browser that the site was not secure so I didn’t want to spend much time on that site. I found the radio broadcasts to be very interesting. I had never heard of the […]

This week was on audio and it was better than I thought it was going to be. I’ve never really made anything on audio software before so this was out of my comfort zone. But it surprised me how fun it ended up being to create little sound clips.

For this assignment I chose to do the recording of a quote then add background music to it. “Do not let the past disturb you, just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.” – Mother Teresa #ds106 #AudioAss...

-Interact live with the live-tweets do Q&A 80’s themed (What character would you play in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? etc). 80’s Trivia. If it’s trivia over songs, we could play the correct answer(song) after the question is over. -We could do a drama set in the 80’s. Maybe the reenactment of a diary entry. Could … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

I listened to the lady vanishes and ICBM Nuclear Missile Close Call. I found both of those stories to be interesting. I’ve heard of David Copperfield but I’ve never heard of him making the statue of liberty disappear. It ruins some of the magic once you actually know how the trick is done. Even if […]

This week’s assignments were all about audio. I had to do some quick learning this week which made it a challenging one. Overall, I learned quite a bit. First I listened to ds106 Radio and This American Life Podcast. My reflection blog post is here: https://gannonradenberg.home.blog/2019/10/01/ds106-radio-this-american-life-podcast-reflection/ Next I began working through some audio assignment in […]

This week I was tasked with completing 9 or more stars worth of assignments in the Audio section of the ds106 Assignment bank. Here is my work: Sound Effects Story (4 stars) Make Your Own Ringtone (3 stars) Imitate Some Weather (2...

Last Wednesday I tuned into ds106 Radio. I started listening a couple minutes late and since it was my first time tuning in I was sort of confused by what was going on. After reading some of the live-tweets that others were sending out I figured out we were all listening to a podcast that […]

For this assignment I took the song Fine and Mellow by Etta Jones and created it to sound like you were walking by a club where the performance was taking place. #ds106 #AudioAssignments #AudioAssignments2227

As I am listening to “The Lady Vanishes,” I notice how the music is not constant and that it changes from section to section. I think they do this to help keep this story from sounding static and stale. It helps set the mood and creates interest. It also helps to keep interest when they … Continue reading Listening

For this assignment I used freesounds.org to supply the sound effects for my story. It was fun mixing two or more sounds to play at the same time to help create the story better and less choppy. Also using fade out was very helpful. #ds106 #AudioA...

Here is my ds106 radio bumper I made using Adobe Audition and the audio library on YouTube. I have never really played around with an audio editor before. It was very similar to a video editor so thankfully there wasn’t much of a learning curve ...

I thought the video on Annie Leibovitz was interesting. I’ve never heard of her before watching it. Even though she is a celebrated photographer I thought her photos looked awkward, but I guess I’m no expert on photography. It was a delight to see some photos from the 80’s to see the clothing and the […]
