Here I sit, trying to record all of this week into one small blog.  This has been a long week.  There has been much activity here from my view on the roof.  I have been busy with daily creates. I drew with a light sabre, recorded a view of winter, and contemplated how I would […]

For my third inspirational post, I chose Jeremy’s design assignment “D’Angelo escapes prison and is on the run”.  I am a huge fan of the series “The Walking Dead”, and **SPOILER ALERT** until tonight, there have been three actors from “The Wire” on the show.  The reason I chose this work was because I thought […]

For my second inspiration post of the week, I decided to go with Travis’ audio assignment “It’s Halloween Season”.  The reason I choose this assignment is because I think it is one of the best examples of a ds106 assignment.  It encapsulates so many things that are characteristic to this class: It is a really […]

The Baltimore Wire Radio Show:  Broadcasting live on Thursday @ 9-10pm on ds106 radio. https://magic.piktochart.com/output/3132595-untitled-banner This was such a fun project.   Our group consisted of the members:  Lakisha Mahone, Desa Stone, and myself, Melinda Albrycht.  We each worked hard to put together a radio show as if it was a radio program broadcasted at the […]

…get it? [via] Honestly, it was really nice to have a week of reflection; of looking back (in my case, WAY back) on the work of others from DS106. Its a little over halfway through the semester.. I think taking… Continue Reading →

So for my first inspiration, I chose Ien’s “App Logo” design assignment.  The reason I chose this assignment is that Ien went above and beyond on this work.  Not only did he complete the assignment, he create a backstory to go along with it, as if he really is creating the app and is just using […]

I listened to the radio show done by Meredith, Demi, Amy, and David titled “DSTW 76.5 News Radio Show”.  This was such a good radio show.  I was holding my sides laughing.  I loved the Bubbles interview in which the description was so vivid describing the blood on the scene.  I loved also the push […]

I was inspired by Brittany’s example of typography in her design blitz because I looks like something that I have in my house. I try to put up pictures that my kids can see of sayings that might inspire them … Continue reading →

This week we were required to pay homage to those works of art that may have either been bypassed or overlooked by  you over your fellow students. This week also was a time where we responded to one another radio shows.   The radio shows were an inspiration alone, the amount of talent which was showcased …

This was a very relaxing week compared to how it’s been over the course of the semester. (Not complaining at all!) I enjoyed taking the time and just going through all my peers work that I hadn’t seen yet. Here’s what else I had going on this week. The Radio Show I enjoyed putting together… Read More

  I was inspired by Maggie’s picture because of the moment that it captured in the stained glass window. You never know who you might be inspiring. I always try to remind my son of that. He plays football for … Continue reading →

Alright, so this is slightly embarrassing, but I already sent it to a bunch of my snapchat friends anyway. I brought this weird looking emoji to life. I have no idea who would make this face or what for, but here it is! https://www.flickr.com/photos/12...

Daily Create | Emoji come alive!! Hey everyone, meet Apollo, the bearded dragon who currently lives in my home. Totally took advantage of this assignment to introduce her to you DS106ers. ;) She’s pretty swell, huh?

I love how Ien took the initiative to go ahead and create his own assignment. This class is a lot of work, so when someone puts forth extra effort, it deserve some recognition. The screen shots and his commentary really made the post too. Creativity makes this class and you definitely showed it with this… Read More

I was inspired by this picture by Stefanie for several reasons. My life as a single mom of two kids going to school full time and working tends to be a little much at times so I can completely related … Continue reading →

This week we hosted our radioshow and had the chance to listen to other radio show projects. Each group did a fantastic job creating their radio show since it involved so much work and collaborated effort. I found that doing audio assignments does not become easier even when completed as a group, and I still […]

http://www.verilyso.net/ds106/dc/emoji/#comment-1039 This author made fantastic use of pop culture by creating an African watering hole image using emojis in place of real animals. The blended image is serene and peaceful. It is inspiring using your im...

Hiya! Another week down! This week was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed looking through the class feed and see all of the awesome things we are all making! I was really excited to find out that this week was inspiration week because I enjoy looking at other people’s work. Here are my inspirations! Inspiration: […]

http://www.blindsidearchive.com/assigments/they-wait-around-like-we-didnt-notice/ This is a great use of pop culture to make creative assignments. I remember these cards way back in high school and I like the use of the characteristics the author uses ...

http://www.nixmemita.com/ds106/teach-me-how-to-ziggy/ The author was inspired by another assignment to create her own, and she did a fantastic job using the characteristics of Mcnulty in creating a “dummy guide” to his character. I will use her work as inspiration for future photoshop design assignments.    

Whoa. Week 9 is already done? Ds 106 has been flying by. Like Groom said in his weekly assignment post, we focused on inspiration and the radio shows this week! Compared to the previous weeks, this week was a lot less stressful. I enjoyed looking back on our work and see what inspired us. Also, […]

I listen to the Baltimore Wire Radio Show. I really like the intro song which was also “The Wire” intro song. I love the side effect for the track phone lol that was very funny ! Your radio show had a great radio sound, it sounded like I was listen to the actual radio in […]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126467562@N03/15016865303/ I think Travis has shown some awesome work throughout this class and his photoshop skills have been great even though he says he’s pretty new with it. This Design assignment, which was to animate a book cover, shows very talented animation skills. I saw this post he did a while ago and thought of… Read More

Daily Creates This week we had to complete 2 daily creates. Make A Winter Drawing – For this daily create we had to make a drawing of winter. I decided to make a snowman and a Christmas tree along with some snowflakes.   Take the Thirty Challenge – for this daily create I decided to […]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Once more, we have all made it to the end of yet another week. If you can’t tell by the title, I have had to spend the entire week reflecting on the past and doing some other interesting things. Well, enough of my babbling about the overall week; let me break […]

Week 9: Get Inspired I loved that this week was so relaxed, and all about reflecting back on the work that all of us DS106ers did over the past 9 weeks. Wait… did I say 9?! It’s already been 9 weeks! It’s ridiculous how fast time flies by, and because…

Ien Harris’ ds106 emergency alert This was posted right around the beginning of the semester. It was an omen of things to come. I think it captures an intuitive understanding of the ds106 ethos. Melinda Albrycht’s poem “The Wire” Melinda’s … Continue reading →

This week, rather than focus on an element of art or storytelling, we turned to the works of our fellow classmates. The biggest presentation of such was our radio show, which aired on Tuesday. Our group is very happy with the happy and satisfied comments we received concerning the broadcast. It means a lot to […]

http://www.kmahone247.com/assignments/visual/just-over-half-done/ This picture inspired me to go for creating excellent work. After I saw this picture, I decided I should probably step my game up and try to make some really awesome stuff. This picture was just designed very well. Maybe this does not do for you what it does for me, but I rather […]
