    Design Reflection

    by
    I am very excited for this week. I think I want to be a web designer/graphic designer so this is gonna be a very fun week for me. In some of my other classes I am learning how to more in-depth how to use photoshop and other photo-editing programs so I am excited to be able to use what I am learning in those classes and apply it to what I make this week. The first thing I did was watch the video on Stranger Things. I thought it was super interesting. It was cool to see the though process […]

    What Makes Excellent Design?

    by
    Today I read Massimo Vignelli’s The Vignelli Canon and a Brain Pickings article about Chip Kidd and his book on design for children to gain a better understanding of what makes an excellent design. Honestly speaking, there were many things I never considered. In all the times that I have ever “designed” anything, I merely […]

    I really enjoyed this week because freshman year I took a theater class and we played around with Audacity. It was cool to see how the program changed and the new features. It was really fun playing around with the different sounds. I couldn’t figure out how to record internal audio at first but afterRead more

    Week Five!!

    I can’t believe we have just completed the fifth week of classes already! We have almost completed 1/3 of the semester – that’s crazy! This week was audio week.

How do the ideas in Abumrad’s videos relate here Sound allows people to be in the atmosphere a storyteller is trying to create.

    I reaaaalllly enjoyed this weeks audio assignments. It was so much fun to experiment with many sounds. I did try to limit myself with how many sounds I got because I feel that these limitations can help, creatively. There were one audio assignment that I wasn’t particularly happy with but I did learn a lot Read More

    Eerie Regularity

    by
    Assignment: Sound Effects Story Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online. The story can be no longer than 90 seconds. Another example (by a UMW student): http://ds106.us/wp-content/audio/audio_story.mp3 This was probably my least favorite audio assignment Read More

    This was an adorable Daily Create. I really enjoy the art DC’s because I can use my awful drawing skills to draw! When I start these DC’s I usually draw on regular notebook paper (rough draft) and then I upload it on my computer and into a drawing program (I used medibang) to complete the Read More

Abumrad’s ideas about using sound are interesting, with his videos having sound being used to express emotion, such as the Astronaut communication being used to express […]
