I was inspired by Jessica’s design assignment titled Silent Moonrise Kingdom I love that Jessica took on this 5 star assignment. It really shows she wanted to put in the effort to come up with something great. Isn’t that what DS106 is all about? I love all the different aspects of what this assignment entails;… Read More

For today’s daily create I messed around with a fun new application called “Art of Glow.” I had a lot of fun drawing a few different things before I made one I really liked. It was an easier daily create, but it was nice to have something fun to brighten my day on such a […]

SydThek1d’s assignment post of Cartoonize Bubba inspired me. I didn’t know the assignment prior to seeing her posting. First she cartoonized a picture of ziggy and his duck but then the second picture she cartoonized was of her dog bubba. Once I saw this image it made me think of a picture of my dog […]

Since my camera did not have the setting like the tutorial showed and the real app cost money, I decided to improvise and downloaded this app called Art of Glow. You just draw on it with your finger and you get these light paintings! This one is my ini...

Yesterday, I participated in the live streaming of the TDSN Radio Show. I thought live streaming it and tweeting it was a really cool idea for a way to engage more of the class together. Instead of picking a show and listening to it on my own, I got to respond in real time with […]

I liked a lot of things about TDSN radio. I liked the bumper that they made and how they used it throughout the show to show cohesiveness. I also loved the background music that they chose. I liked how the theme song was in the background while they were talking about the history and explaining […]

I did today’s daily create. I originally wasn’t going to do it because I don’t have a camera that I can set for long exposure times. But then I saw Lauren’s post about how she did hers and it seemed easy so I went for it. How I did it: I downloaded the Art of […]

The Great Barksdale by Maggie Stough One of Maggie’s many commercial for our radio show about product placement was a commercial for The Great Gatsby. In the show The Wire one of the main characters in season 1 and 2 talks discusses the book The Great Gatsby with the book group while in prison.  What Maggie did that inspired me so much […]

Wire 106 Radio Poster by Nicky Memita Nicky’s Wire 106 radio poster inspired me to be more daring with colors when I design my own work. The colors of the text not only work nicely together but they also work with the background and all of the colors in the background image. I love how you […]

Minimalist TV Poster by Meredith Fierro Meredith’s minimal tv poster really stood out to me first, because I love minimalism and seeing how other people tackle it, and second, because her minimalist design is bold. I love the contrast between the black and purple, as well as the white on the pills. Setting apart the drug […]

Season 3: Episode 5: “I had such fu#kin’ hopes for us” -McNulty Bubbs’s friend doesn’t understand why Bubbs is helping Kima and Jimmy for money. Bubbs is going along with his plan to get money from the white guy on the ladder. His buddy gets the money and then Bubbs isn’t in the alley when […]

Daily Create | Make a light painting. For today’s Daily Create, I took the assignment’s advice and downloaded an light art app to my iPhone. I used Art of Glow, mainly because it was free, but it also seemed like I… Continue Reading →

The first Daily Create that I have decided to do this week was the “Make a Light Painting”. I’m not a very good drawer, but I when it comes to drawing with light I figured that I could not go to wrong. So I decided to look for some application on my computer that would […]

Hi there! This week, after a tedious week of editing audio for our Radio News Show DTSW 76.5, the final product is premiering on ds106 radio! While we are preparing for our group discussion on our process for creating the radio show, our task is to get inspired! And I think this is a great topic […]

Overall, I think you guys did a fantastic job. You really put together an awesome radio show. I loved your theme and your thoughts were very organized and everyone was very knowledgeable on the topics. Here are some thoughts I had on your different sections. Section 1 Carmela, Ian, Jeremy, John were introduced as the… Read More

Hey guys! So I just wanted to write this up quickly, but the radio shows are premiering! Tonight was the first night of three nights where our final radio shows will be shown on ds106radio! Tonight was The Science Behind the Wire! Carmela, Ien, Jeremy, and John created this show, where they discussed different technologies that […]

I enjoyed the radio show, it was entertaining to hear their take on the scenes and really enjoyed the commercials and music choices. I like how they integrated music that relates to the wire’s characters. The advertisement that followed the Sabotka memorial was a great interlude to the radio show. It reminds me of what […]

Tonight I tweeted along with the awesome radio show, “The Science of the Wire” and wrote my week’s review of the same show. It was really interesting to follow along and hear fellow students on a show like this. The idea of the radio show was really interesting. I think the introduction could have been […]

The post “New Morning Star” inspired me during audio week. It was not an assignment that I decided to do, but as I was browsing through everyone’s assignment, I listened to a few different recording ones. This one was one of the highest quality and seemed to be the most understandable out of the ones […]

The second post that inspired me was Travis Peed’s “The Right Logo For Me.” This was a daily create assignment but Travis went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. I know it took him longer than ten minutes to do it because it is very impressive. He made a logo out of […]

Red, Yellow, & Blue There was A LOT of this color scheme in the episode. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so much of it. Red highlights, blue sign & car, yellow shirt. Red and blue sign, yellow shirt and lines on the road. Yellow legal pad, blue shirt, … Continue reading

For my first inspiration piece this week, I went with Jess Reingold’s post “Now You’re in the Game.” I remember when we were first going to make GIFs I was very intimidated. I had no idea what to do or where to start so I looked at the examples and tutorials and eventually figured it out. […]

In this video discussion of season 3, episode 5 of the The Wire, “Straight and True,”  Paul and I focused on the limits of reform inherent in the logic of capital—or something like that. Also, we explored the struggle for … Continue reading →

I think Imran did such an awesome job on the bumpers for our radio show and his ending bumper was so wonderfully funny. It inspired me to do better bumpers, or at least try to, and I applaud him for making a bumper so good out of such little content. Clearly he knew exactly what […]

I was really inspired by Maggie’s “Return to the Silent Era: Edward Scissorhands” video assignment. It was so cool and really reminded me that old material can constantly be updated or revamped when put into a new context. Maggie completely changed a movie trailer and gave the movie a whole new feel as a result. […]

For my radio group we had to make a lot of commercials and one of my favorites was Jessica’s “It’s a Kodak moment in the house!” commercial. It really incorporated something from the show and sounded like a real commercial. It was one of the first ones I heard and it inspired me to make […]

Avon & Stringer The tension is building between them. Stringer is dreaming bigger dreams outside the drug dealing and corner owning. He’s a smart businessman and his plan is definitely very smart and safe. Avon, on the other hand, seems unable to dream outside of this world he’s made a … Continue reading

For my final inspire post, i chose Jessica’s “Cheap Sunglasses” design assignment. Unlike my other two inspire posts, i did not end up doing this assignment. This post inspired me in different ways. Out of all the posts i’ve seen in the class so far, this one stood out. What caught my eye was the […]

For my second “inspire” assignment, i continued to look in the assignment and stumbled upon John’s “Where are they now” assignment. This was similar to Brittany’s in the sense that after seeing this, i wanted to do it. This was hilarious. I loved how John did this. You always see on Buzzfeed the “where are […]

The second assignment that I added to the inspire page was Carmela’s Classical Rap mashup. I really loved this mashup because I thought the combination of Mozart and 99 problems was hilarious and somehow worked. Before hearing this, I never would have thought that these two songs could go together but apparently they do. This […]
