Much like the chipmunk-ify assignment a week or so back, I texted my friend to ask her opinion on which two similar movies to mash together for an all-new-movie poster. She was her typical, kind self and threw out a... Continue Reading →

I decided to take pictures of my friends at moments where they were not paying attention. Once you have photos of them make a collage of the photos. I decided that this was a moderately easy assignment and definitely a visual assignment, so I made it worth 2 stars. Some people may not know about […]

For this MashUp Assignment I chose the Your Favorite Teams assignment (3 stars). The basis of the assignment is to mix together your favorite team’s logo into one logo. The goal is to make it work together as if it could be an actual team logo. Here’s my design: As …

I lucked out! The random Remix generator was on my side, because the first assignment suggestion it spit out was a completely do-able, fun project that still required a bit of thought and Photoshop skill on my part. The original... Continue Reading →

Error Error Error. Is all I felt like I saw these past two weeks. They have been very frustrating, not because I didn’t enjoy the work, but because I had countless errors occur. I felt so helpless at points, I wanted to be working on homework, but something would go wrong with a program, and […]

This post is dedicated to my experience with the remix assignment using Mozilla’s Popcorn Maker. The goal in this assignment was to take a video that was pre-created and remix it, adding images, video, and audio to it. I really... Continue Reading →

For my third Mashup assignment I did the Favorite Teams Mashup. I decided to combine some of my favorite Boston sports teams together. I combined the New England Patriots logo with the Boston Bruins logo using gimp. I wasn’t sure which teams I should combine but I ended up going with a couple of retro […]

Tinker bell and the Pirate Fairy Animal Architecture Do NOT touch DS106, Saving trees Day in Icons I also completed the intentionally blank post in the […]

This was really hard for me to get, but I tried my best and finished it. Here is the final remix. Finding the videos, sound, pictures, and maps to put in the video was fun and not too difficult, it was the editing and actually adding the things that was the most difficult and I […]

Original Assignment (2 stars)   This is the first I have heard of Talky Tina. Either way, This little girl is creepy looking. The goal for this assignment was to find an image of her, chop her head off, and … Continue reading →

These weeks were the most stressful of the semester, by far. Not just because of the mashup assignments, but also because in the middle of week 13, my laptop charger broke. And my laptop was dead. My MacBook is an older… Continue Reading →

I started off on this assignment not knowing what to expect but eventually found it to be somewhat of a fun and interesting experience. I enjoyed taking a piece of content and making something completely random out of it. The Remix generator itself produces its fair share of great matches and equally dismal matches. In […]

I created a Mashup Assignment, Making a Song, in which people will have to combine different lyrics from at least 5 songs in order to create a new song of their own being at least 2 minutes long. I got this idea when I was doing my music mashup assignment because I made a mini […]

Original Assignment (3 stars)   For this assignment, the objective was to pick a store that we frequent visit, and edit their original logo (using text, images. etc). Although I dislike the Macy’s here in Fredericksburg (kind of limited than … Continue reading →

I created this assignment called “10 Second Throwback.” For this assignment you have to create at least a 10 second long mashup of songs that are considered “throwbacks.” The music can be from any genre as long as it is nothing recent. I choose to use two songs each 5 second clips. My first song […]

Third assignment I chose was 10 second song mashup. I obviously chose it because of my love for music! This was tricky because I used 5 songs but only 2-3 second clips of each.I don’t want to tell you too much from the process because it might give away the songs I used and the […]

This week I did 4 assignments totaling 10 stars! First up, Growing up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (The assignment is called growing up with Drew Barrymore) First I looked up all of the movies the twins have been in, already knowing I was going to introduce the video with Full House because it was […]

I have to admit, I really enjoyed the remix section of DS106. It as a lot of work, but genuinely really fun. I talked about it a bit in my What is Remix? post, but I think that remixes and mashups are… Continue Reading →

I decided to do a tutorial for an assignment I created earlier in the semester called Safe Havens. (sorry there is no picture for it, I was positive I added one!) To me a safe haven is anywhere you feel comfortable and at peace, for me it is with my dog, Banditt at the Lake […]

This post was worth two stars. It was goofy and fun and the perfect way to end nine points of assignments. The point of the assignment was to put the face of talking Tina on anything we wanted. I choose the Statue of Liberty because I thought it would look funny and be outrageous and […]

Second assignment choice, Music Mash! If you pay attention to my blog, you can tell my life revolves around music so why not chose a music mashup assignment! I am very proud of this assignment, because I managed to cohesively mash parts of 4 songs together and make my own mini song. Here are the […]

My last mashup assignment was called Twittr, it is basically mashing up two of your favorite websites and making a new one. I mashed up Facebook and Instagram to make Instabook the site where you can instantly share pictures, updates, locations, memories, facts about you, and it puts it all into a running book that […]

The remix generator took the “Storytelling collage”  and the “Happy Days” assignments and mashed them up for me. So I did a Happy Days collage that includes pictures of the cast and the title.I got lucky because this remix is fairly easy, seeing as how individually the assignments were fairly easy, telling a story through a collage […]

Remix Assignment For this assignment, I will be telling a short story, using only sound effects. In addition, the remix assignment suggests to use elements from a Jackson Pollack painting. We must also use some elements from another students assignment and incorporate … Continue reading →

Required Assignment First off, Mozilla Popcorn is a tool that I would not recommend. After many times (and I do mean many times) of starting over from the beginning, I started to get the hang of it and was finally … Continue reading →

I was looking through the mashup assignments for another one to do and found the Movie Mashup. For this assignment you have to combine two different movies together into one movie poster. I decided to combine two famous trilogies together of different genres that are often compared as classics. I chose Lord of the Rings […]

When I read that one of the requirements for these two weeks was to record myself explaining remix culture to someone, I wasn’t annoyed. I wasn’t frustrated. I didn’t struggle to think of someone with whom I could speak. In... Continue Reading →
