    Well, it’s been video week, and I finally made a quick little video at the end of it. This was made by clipping some frames from The Prisoner episode 9 “Checkmate” using MPEGStreamclip, exporting them to a folder. I first tried them as a GIF, but didn’t like a GIF that stopped. But I recalled […]

    by


    I am really taken by bot wisdom of late. We did one daily create with @everyadage and I have been following it ever since. I love the nonsensical prompts that almost make sense. A couple of DS106 participants have been playing along with me @JanWeb3 and ds106ronald and we have been taking a few of the adages and making creative edits with the prompts. 

    So here is: Is it not unimportant to have trumpets coming from a bitter tulip?

    I tried so many possibilities for showing this visually! How do you show a bitter tulip? In the end I settled for shrivelled equals bitter. What background is appropriate? In the end I settled for showing wonderful music coming out of the trumpet being played by the bitter tulip. 

    The idea here was: Is it not unimportant to have trumpets coming from a bitter tulip when they make such wonderful music? 

    As it is a saying (we have many sayings in the village) and I used village plain font, I am having it count for a few credits in #prisoner106. 

    How? All images CC0. I used Photoshop and mainly played with embossing and skew tools. Got texture somehow in the background and made a nice frame for it through render > picture frame. 

    This was challenging in design and made me play with new tools in Photoshop - had never used skew before. Hard fun! Thank you Ron and Janet for playing!

    DS106 GiF TV Needs You

    by
    I don’t think I am going to make many of my targets for credits in prisoner106 this week. Friday and I’ve not watched any of the footage yet. I’ve stayed in my Village apartment watching the DV. More specifically DS106 Gif TV. I though it might be time to write a bit here about that. […]

    TDC1298– Make a drawing with a cut out for clothing. Take a photo of your  card and environment to complete the image Well – sort of took liberties. I did not do a drawing only a photo.

    Slow Subterranean Blues

      Think that I might need some credits this week as I need some digging tools from the store. So I had a look through the assignment bank and found this: ds106 Assignments: Sound to Visual with 3 credits. Using creations you have already completed in #ds106 – select an audio project you were happy […]

    I Can Read Televison – Free Man

    by
    I like the “I Can Read Movies” Design Assignment 55. It’s fun to try to capture a movie (or television show) with a cover image as well as imagine the design of an old paperback book. The Basics This book cover is based on the Spacesick’s Jurassic Park rendering — I liked the black background […]

    I like that sign too; very clever! I find it really interesting that you, Melanie and I all did the four icon challenge for the same episode. I made mine, looked at the assignment page to get the right tags, and found yours and Melanie's there. It's cool that we picked different things to focus on. I want to do the web club. I will do the web club. I need to get off my butt and do the web club.

    Passing time in the Village – Chicken GIF

    by
    A relaxing day in the Village while No. 2 is missing. Not as productive as @byzantinebooks, I saw that he spent the day working in his bungalow as well. Then I saw @iamTalkyTina posting the catapulting chickens so decided to work on getting my chicken to actually cross the road. Still trying to figure out the ... Read more

    Crossing a Road

    by
    This was for yesterday’s The Daily Create, tdc1295, “Why DID the chicken cross the road?” I also posted a static image of the one of the end frames to Flickr so that it would show up on The Daily Create website. The chicken flying part is from a Ruby Tuesday’s commercial. They also have a […]

    Just fun between assignments

    by
    There seems to be a disruption in the ether. The new new new new Number 2 hasn’t posted any Week Five assignments yet, so I just relaxed in the bungalow with an Independent Study student and a contract consulting gig I’ve got this week. But, GIFs! This first one shows the creative spirit at work […]

    Week Four Review: Design

    by
    My ideas around escape or rather not attempting to escape seem to be reflected in the surveillance tapes we were directed to watch this week. Number six seems to be more involved in Village Life and made fewer attempts to escape. My own week reflected this, I got out a bit more and continued to […]

    Your Community Needs You

    by
    I in going through some old files here in my quarters within The Village, I found an old something from quite a few years back that I though my True Friends might be interested in. I have made a small number of references to some aspects of my history with The Village, and while I […]

    Terminal Waypoint

    by
    I have continued to have success in avoiding the “sleep light” at lights out, and have made some additional progress in exploring the secret crawlspace I found beneath my cottage in The Village. After several successive evenings of further exploration, I have uncovered a vast underground labyrinth of tunnels and corridors. While I have encountered […]

    A plea for help

    The raging headache I’m experiencing could be a result of my social conversion therapy or perhaps it’s a result of the design assignment I’m currently working on. I’m trying to make a vintage postcard.  I’ve been following this tutorial on … Continue reading

For this design assignment you are tasked to create an attractive advertisement/flyer for some type of event. Be creative. Any event will do, but the point is to entice people to want to attend your […]
