Hi guys!  So for the “Movie Mashup” assignment, I decided to combine two movies I had seen very recently.  Since it it Thanksgiving week, my wife and I spent an afternoon at the theater seeing the latest installment in “The Hunger Games” series.  And, also because of Thanksgiving, we had just the day before seen […]

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/website-logo/ So, I took a bit of a spin on this assignment. Rather than make it a DS106 assignment, I decided to take it and make it about the New Day Co-Op. I used PowerPoint as my image editor and Gimp as well for the background behind the words. I figured if Prop Joe was […]

Original Post: http://www.nrandallumwdomain.com/ds106/of-air-and-life/ Remix: Cancer Sucks I really liked how this turned out. Coming up with it just required reusing an old picture and changing the message. As usual, I used PowerPoint to change the message, and I decided to look up a cancer awareness emblem and add it to the fan. When this came together […]

For my third week of my final project, I have decided to focus on the events of Season 3 of The Wire. In season 3, things are going pretty well for Pryzblewski, until he shoots and kills plain-clothed cop. In my narrative of these events, Prez comes under fire in the newspaper for the shooting. […]

For my final assignment of the week I decided to complete the mashup assignment Inappropriate Laughter. I used the scene from season 4 when Colvin takes Namond and 2 others to the Ruth’s Chris Steak House. It is an interesting scene from start to finish. In the beginning the kids are all excited to go […]

I’m really enjoying Prez’s storyline on The Wire right now (which I am paying closer attention to because of my final project). I am really interested in the school kids and how they are connected to the game. The class for kids with behavioral problems is really sad but realistic, especially when they are talking […]

Today’s daily create was to summarize a movie into two panels. I decided to pick one of my favorite movies, The Room. But then I kind of realized that there’s no way to really summarize this movie. It’s such a mess that there’s no plot to even focus on. So I decided to take two […]

Hiya! So this remix, Common Everyday Object [Remixed]: Fox News was really fun! I was thinking of what would be easy to over exaggerate and I saw the bowl of fruit that was in my kitchen! I thought that this would be perfect. How can you not over exaggerate a picture of fruit? Once I had […]

This assignment was funny, I enjoyed making it so much I did my tutorial on it. You can see my tutorial here. I decided to combine the three favorites teams of my household; the Redskins, the Bears, and the Capitals. You can see my process in my tutori...

Today’s Daily Create was to summarize a movie in two panels.  Since we’re focusing on HBO’s The Wire this semester, I chose to summarize Season 1 episode 8 “Lessons” in two panels. The epigraph of this episode is “Come at the king, you best not miss.” which is Omar’s quote and refers back to a […]

For another final project assignment, I decided to create a recipe haiku. While pinning the board for Beatrice’s dream vacation I came across this recipe for Honey Hame Biscuits. I thought this was perfect for a haiku. It’s an easy recipe with that beatrice could make on a weeknight, while helping her kids with homework and […]

EXCLUSIVE XBOX ONE & PS4 RELEASE From the Inner Streets of Baltimore…To the Hilltops of the shire.    Middle Earth is in trouble and Frodo and his buddies have called in the big guns…they needed a hero but what they got was Omar.     I choose to alter the newest release for the Lord of the Rings …

The last two weeks have been so insanely busy.  Preparing for the finals of my classes.  Working on my final project for DS106, finished watching all episodes of The Wire, and completed the assignments due December 1.  I was so glad that I had time off from work.  Spent the entire time in front of […]

For this assignment you have to combine the logos of two or more of your favorite sports teams. The steps I used to create this are as followed. Pick your favorite sports teams Mine was: Redskins, Capitals and the Bears Decide your design I picked to have all the logos connected to a bear that was standing up wearing a

This assignment was to combine two movie posters of movies that have been compared to each other.  Since we’re focusing on HBO’s “The Wire” this semester, I chose to combine it with another show it has often been compared to – “Breaking Bad”.  Here we have our two fellas watching “The Wire” on television while […]

For today’s daily create, we had to summarize a movie in two panels. I decided to do Finding Nemo because it was so fresh in my mind. I picked the two most monumental parts where Nemo gets taken and then when he is found. It really does sum up the movie!  

I once said, “You only live once, so why not take the chance to do something valuable in life?” It’s...

The title of this episode is “A New Day.” In the script, it specifically refers to the new mayoral administration and to the New Day Co-op that Prop Joe runs with the other drug kingpins. The epigraph is “You play … Continue reading →

For the mashup assignment Twittr I had to take 2 of my favorite website logos and mash them together. It was relatively easy using photoshop. Currently my 2 favorite websites are NFL.com and ESPN Fantasy Football. I have been spending a lot of time on these websites because of the football season. So I took their […]

For my remix assignment I ended up getting Let See Some ID: Happy Days. I was to create an id but also take the assignment back to the 1950’s which Happy Days was set in. In case you don’t know the Happy Days sitcom maybe this will jog your memory. I decided to use Fonzie […]

I decided to complete the Your Favorite Sports Teams Mashup. For this assignment I used the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles logo.   Then Using photo shop I cut out the O logo and merged it onto the Ravens logo. I used the magnetic lasso for the process. Then I used the clone stamp to fill […]

While watching season 4, episode 10 of The Wire, I was surprised to hear Bunny listening to Billie Holiday. For such an important character, we seem to know so little about his personal life, such as his likes and hobbies. So for my second Bunny relayed assignment for the final project, I took an animated […]

I did the design assignment “Let’s See Some ID” to create this image that I’m going to use as a component in my final project. This is a rendering of a fictitious airplane ticket from Baltimore Washington Airport to London’s Heathrow Airport.  I downloaded an image for an old plane ticket and using Photoshop, I […]

When I think of Bunny Colvin, I don’t really picture an artistic person. It’s challenging to think of assignments that relate to his role on The Wire. But a certain scene from Season 4 episode 11 inspired me. Word clouds seem to be a pretty big thing today. And so I was surprised to not […]

What a fun fortnight, re-imagining things as we re-mixed and made mash-ups!  Here’s what I did these last two weeks: I watched Season 4 episodes 5-10 and summarized them here: Prezbo’s Game – Season 4 Episodes 5,6,7 Dark Days – Season 4 Episodes 8, 9, 10 I don’t know about you, but after watching all these episodes […]

The Visual Assignment “Before and After” is about combining the past and present into a single image.  I chose to do that with an image in a rear view mirror (that I placed there with the help of Photoshop).  Here we have someone looking forward to what is down the road in the future of […]

The laugh track would remind me of how a psychopath would react to violence, changing the scene from a violent perception to a view from a psychotic mind.

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/twittr/ Actual Site: brickshelf.com + google.com This was an easy one to put together. I decided to use Brickshelf, which is a site to post various LEGO creations, and Google. Using PowerPoint I was able to attach the Brickshelf image and recolor the the words to fit the Google color scheme. I was actually researching […]
