I had a blast creating this assignment, I am incorporating my character by again using her “ex” boyfriend. She is saying to him she is over it and never wanted to sing about it because she didn’t want him to think she still liked her. Good luck trying to guess the song – its really … Continue reading "Can’t Get It Out Of My Head"

*For the assignment I decided to take a country song and sort of tie it into my southern belle. She is singing this song to her old bf to remember all the good memories they had together. I chose the song remember when by Alan Jackson and got the Selena Gomez the heart wants what … Continue reading "Dramatic Reading Remix"

This week is all about the creation of our very own ds106 radio show, however this first assignment has no connection to it whatsoever so I decided to get it out of the way. This was a snippet of me whistling a song that always gets stuck in my head and it’s sung by today’s … Continue reading Whistle while ya work

My daily create challenge for today was to make this poster. But, I feel the meaning it portrays applies to everyday. @ds106dc #tdc1505 #ds106 Today's #dailycreate make a Loesje poster.

*This assignment immediately caught my eye. I decided to mash up my favorite song (at the moment) and then the most impressive speech. So I chose MLK, I have a dream speech. I had to listen to both recordings a couple times to make sure the mashing up went together. Surprisingly enough I really liked … Continue reading "Remix A Song With Some Speech"

I am in a group with Sophia Therriault and Kelly Hendricks. While we don’t exactly know what we want to do for our radio show, we have started developing ideas. The ideas that are being thrown around are being a traveling caravan and we could talk about old western celebrities. Also talking about different western … Continue reading "Week 1 for Radio Show"

For this assignment, I started by picking a character with a catchphrase from a show that I enjoy. It took a minute to come up with one, but once I thought about this line, I knew it was perfect. I made a few changes in my initial design decision, but the basic theme remained the […]

Here is my daily create for today! Beware of the outlaws! @ds106dc #tdc1504 #dailycreate My comic dialogue! Stay away from Jesse James! pic.twitter.com/67HUwfZsf8 — Natalie Motley (@NatalieCPSC106) February 20, 2016

So, for this assignment there were two basic elements that went into completing it. The first, and by far the most difficult was thinking up the content. I had the idea to put Tyrion in the center right from the beginning, but I had some trouble thinking of ways to describe him that let me […]

So, for this assignment, I decided that I would add a couple layers and do it slightly different than the two people before me. They both used xbox avatars to complete the assignment, but it didn’t expressly say to do so. I started to make an avatar of myself elsewhere, but I figured that it […]

So, when I saw this assignment, I knew exactly what movie I would pick and I knew for sure the first icon. I will leave it at that so that I don’t ruin the fun of guessing. Probably anyone who has seen the movie will recognize it, but I will provide a few additional clues… […]

The movie posters almost exclusively do not feature “western typography.” Many of the fonts are unlike those featured in the stills of western typography.  The fonts in the posters are, however, strikingly similar, and I am curious as to whether if I was shown just the typography from one of those posters if I would […]

So, this week I was more house prone than normal due to life circumstances and did not have an opportunity to photograph and designs. The one time I did go out, I left with my phone too dead to get a photo of the flyers in Monroe that displayed dominance, or the typography on a […]

In the publication, Vignelli took a rather abstract tone, which given the subject matter, seemed entirely applicable. I took a digital design course once as a part of my journalism major at Wichita State University where we covered, although using a different frame work and different terminology, many of the thing that Vignelli discussed. Before […]

This week has been all about design. Because of a class I took earlier, some of it has been just a reinforcement and refresher, which is actually pretty useful given a natural tendency to forget things I do not use. I think to this point, the rule of thirds, rules about typography, and dominance were […]

I cannot believe it is week six already. So far, I have learned one basic thing; this class is quite intriguing. Not only am I learning about different forms of media (audio, visual, design, etc.) but also the west. It’s interesting how the class combines both to allow me to learn. Hmm. Well this week, […]

This assignment called for us to reflect on The Vignelli Canon and DesignBlitz, that we worked on earlier and to answer what themes or trends we saw in the design of Western. After going through the links provided for the assignment, I noticed how each artist had one thing that they focused on the most. […]

Week 6 Summary I started off the week with the longest assignment of all of them, reading Vignelli. I didn’t particularly enjoy this assignment because I don’t like reading all that much, but I can say that I still learned a decent amount about design from it.  It was a bit repetitive, but it was an […]

This is a poster for the upcoming baseball games tomorrow.   3 Stars
