The third assignment that I submitted to the inspiration page was the London Bridge Techno mashup.  I again was inspired by this because of the combination of two songs that seemingly would not go together. I am always amazed by the kind of combinations people come up with for work like this. This one is […]

For week 9, it’s all about being inspired. The beginning of design week was really intimidating. I’ve never used any application like GIMP or Photoshop so i was hesitant at first.One of the first images to inspire me to go out of my zone was Brittany’s “Splash the Color” assignment from the design assignment bank.

The first post that I remembered being inspired by was Lauren’s Sketch a Screenshot assignment. I really like this post because the sketch was so well done. If I had done this I would automatically done the sketch by hand because that’s what I think of a sketch. Lauren did hers on the computer though, and […]

The assignment that Inspired me were Animated GIFs.  I really like animated GIFs and I have been doing them for a few semester already, but I’m still not a pro at them.  I’m not sure of their real name but there domain name is (sydthek1d)  and there were a pro at Animated GIFs. In the […]

So my first piece of Inspirations was none other than Meredith Fierro. I remember a while back a “Website Banner” that Meredith did and I really liked it. It had a lot of different things that they all came back and connected as pictures taken from the outdoors. They were all beautiful pictures, one of […]

I’ll give it a try. The first thing that came to mind was “halfnhalfindie.com” or something along those lines. “Half n Half” […]

You’re listening to WMAD Radio… Planning the Show We knew that we wanted to discuss the theme of corruption throughout all that we’ve seen of The Wire so far, but we weren’t sure how to turn that into a show. During our Google Hangout with Paul Bond, he suggested that…

Here is my inspire post for this creation. The original blog post can be found here. This might come across as bragging about how awesome our radio show is, but I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL that Jessica created. It’s a hilarious, well crafted mash-up of a culturally insensitive scene from The Wire … Continue reading

Here is my inspire post for this creation. You can find the original blog post for this creation here. I love how Paul took a simple detail from The Wire–Ziggy’s duck–and made something smart, creative, and comical about it. The orange, black, and white color scheme really catches your eye. The … Continue reading

What I was thinking about nonstop while watching the 2nd episode of season three of The Wire was the Barksdale organization and how it continues to run. In one of

Hi guys! So this week was the radio show week! So as a group, Demi, David, Amy and I decided we would create a news reel for different events that happened throughout the Wire. We met twice during the process of creating the radio show, once to brainstorm what we were going to do and the…

Another week gone…. This week was all about our radio show, and boy was it an adventure!  Let’s get right into it. On Wednesday, our group (me, Ien, Carmela, and Jeremy) got together briefly and set our radio plan in motion.  The timing was a bit rough.  We had met last week, but with Fall […]

This week has been a work in progress with a wrap-up of the radio show my group has been working hard to complete. I finished the radio bumper I made for the show, and finished recording the last section to complete our radio program. I covered the warrants and laws behind wire tapping, which is […]
