I did the assignment called Sound Scapes, worth 4.5 stars. I used Audacity as my sound editor and FreeSound as my source for the sounds. I also used an app recommended by SoundCloud called AudioCopy in order to record the ITCC elevator on my iPhone and then directly upload it to SoundCloud. So what I did […]

Clearly, guinea pigs are evolving in an effort towards world domination.  They are masking this attempt by being oddly cute, but beware, any day now their alien overlords will return to check on their evolutionary progress. I began this daily create by importing the striped hyena image and the guinea pig image as layers into […]

Stars:3.5 For my first audio assignment, i went with the “Greatest Hits Storytelling”. My memory of the Smiths assignment i did came to me and i was automatically excited. With this assignment, we need to collect a minimum of 5 songs from a band that tell a story. A little intro to my decision, one of […]

Today I practiced making a radio bumper for the daily create!! I did not know how to do this and was pretty scared, but I worked on GarageBand for a bit to figure it out. First, I looked over the Beatnik terms and wrote a script. I decided to do an advice-type bumper because I […]

    Found this little guy in google images with the cape and crown and it reminded me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones. Then I uploaded it in GIMP to give him the red eye and angry eyebrow. Tada! Evil guinea pig.

I thought I’d help my radio show group kill two birds with one stone by creating an audio assignment that related to the content we’re creating for our radio show. The assignment is to make a radio ad out of product placement that occurs in a TV show or movie. … Continue reading

As you all know, we are required to create a promotion of some sort for our radio show. My GIMP skills are grown tremendously over the weeks and this totally proves it. The main focus of our radio show will be  about the science behind The Wire, as you can tell with my little poster below. […]

In honor of hunting season, I decided to do the “Sound Effects Story” (3.5 stars) of someone shooting a deer with a bow. I obviously could have made it much longer because the background noise could have gone on forever before the deer walked up but I didn’t because it had to be less than […]

For Today’s Daily Create, it was all about evil guinea pigs. Normal guinea pigs don’t exist, right? Obviously.I’ve never actually seen one in person, so my resources were very limited. I found this funny, yet very evil picture of a guinea pig dressed as a wizard/witches. Since it’s Halloween season, that seemed perfect. Halloween and […]

My first audio assignment for this week was the “DS106 Radio Bumper” Assignment (1.5 stars). I decided to do it since we have our radio shows this week and next week and we need some bumpers for them! I didn’t do this assignment in the previous audio week because I liked a lot of the […]

Since Halloween is this month, I decided to create an assignment, worth 3 stars called Spooky Sounds. For this assignment you have to make an audio track using found sounds or your own recordings that is creepy, spooky, scary, halloween-inspired and make it more than a minute long so we have time to get scared! I […]

TDC 1004: Evil Guinea Pig

I did today’s Daily Create, which was to share an image that illustrates how evil guinea pigs are. I googled “evil guinea pig” and a picture of a guinea pig in a communist Russia hat appeared. I saved the picture, opened it in GIMP, and made its eyes red as … Continue reading

Middle school chorus came in handy for this assignment. Our music teacher used to have us imitate a rain storm using only our hands and feet. I began by rubbing my hands together. This sounds like the wind blowing the rain clouds in. Then there are light drops of rain. For this, I did a “golf clap” […]

For my second Daily Create I did the  “Evil Guinea Pig” for this assignment I had the task of taking something that was very much pretty and furry and that was loved by everyone and make it look Evil. So I googled Evil Guinea Pigs and I didn’t come up with much so then I […]

For my first daily create I did the DS106 Letterhead. I completed this daily create on Microsoft Word. I wanted to incorporate many different things that we go in the class, so I did a lot of subsections that we go in the class. I did a a picture of a camera symbolizing the Visual […]

Since we’re focusing on the radio show this week, I figured today’s daily create to make a radio bumper would be perfect. The twist with this one is that I had to use certain examples of beatnik slang. Hopefully I did it correctly. I equalized my voice with the AM radio setting and leveled it […]

I love the movie Pitch Perfect, and I knew I wouldn’t mind listening to the soundtrack over and over, so I decided to transform it into a radio show for the Movie as Radio audio assignment worth 3 stars. In order to do this assignment I downloaded a few clips from the movie and almost all […]

This is for the Cheesy Radio Ad for your School assignment, which is worth 3 stars. I decided to do this one because honestly, my friends and I spend a lot of time making fun of the billboards that UMW puts up, especially their slogans. Going in to this, I had no idea what to […]

For the audio assignments for this week, I really liked the idea of doing a dramatic reading, but setting it to different music to give it a completely new feel, so I made an assignment for it. For my dramatic reading remix, I did a reading of a cheesy song from my childhood, S Club […]

Here is a sound story that I created in Audacity using sounds I downloaded from Freesound.org. After searching through a bunch of sounds trying to figure out what I wanted to make my sound story about, I ran across all the dog related noises and I decided to recreate the … Continue reading

I completed today’s TDC, my attempt being to get a jump on this week’s assignments. I chose to do my letterhead with piktochart to make a letterhead that reflects a combination of DS106 and The Wire since that is the courses focal point. I uploaded some images of The Wire and played with varies fonts […]

Today’s Daily Create – a ds106 letterhead I made this by first downloading the Polygon font from dafont.com. I then made a blank document on photoshop and added the text. I then got the computers from the noun project, and added them to the sides of the text. I really wanted to go for the […]

The season 2 finale reminded me both of the season 2 premiere and the season 1 finale. The episode opened with this shot of the water, much like the season started with McNulty out on the water. The beginning of this episode also began with finding a body in the … Continue reading

Looking through past posts on the wire106 site, I found a bunch of ideas that people had posted, including Travis, Jeremy, Desa, Imran, Nicholas, Ien,  Melinda, Danielle, and La Kisha. Most of them are already in groups. If you’re looking … Continue reading →

Daily Create | Design your own weird and wonderful letterhead, just for DS106 use. After messing around a little on photoshop and NounProject, I came up with this. All symbols represent different weeks during the semester.

  For today’s daily create I answered the question “I feel like…” Instead of doing an object, I wrote that I have a lot of reading to do. Today will be very busy but I have to somehow find room for reading 100 pages of a novel for class! Yikes.

Another week gone by in DS106. It was quite the week I started out the week stressing but I managed to make it through. I really enjoyed all of the
