Photoblitz! I know the title really has no relevance to this assignment but that was the first thin to pop in my head when i read the “photoblitzer” assignment. I was kind of confused when i read this assignment. 20 minutes to take only what, 7 photos? Really? Then i realized i live in a […]

For 9/25/14’s TDC, we had to play the radio station 106 in our area and record what was playing. Here’s my compilation of all the 106 channels in Fredericksburg. I recorded it straight to SoundCloud.

Finally! My last visual assignment for this week! This week i’ve been getting too comfortable with GIMP by simply cropping and adding text. I felt like with my last visual assignment of the week i should do something i haven’t done before. I mean, this class is about becoming familiar with different skills, right? RIGHT. […]

  I started the assignment 4 Lines, 5 Dots, 1 Curve (worth 4 stars), thinking it would be really difficult to think of something to make with those limitations, but then it came to me…ice cream! I’ll admit I could have been a little more creative with this assignment, but I did want to make something recognizable. […]

Two visual assignments down, only 2 more to go! I think. It took me a lot longer to find another visual assignment that i found interesting. After going through like 4 pages, i found this assignment. I was a little suspicious that it was 4 stars.. So i’m not taking any chances and i’m doing more […]

For my final visual assignment, I did the 10-Step Photo Challenge. I stepped outside my front door and starting counting steps from there to the sidewalk. Sometimes I took small steps, other times I took big ones. I turned around. I looked from side to side. I did a lot … Continue reading

I did today’s Daily Create, which was to post an audio clip of what’s playing on the 106 FM radio station. I only heard commercials when I tuned in, so I’m not sure what genre 106.7 FM plays.

Hey guys!  This is my daily create assignment for today!  I tried to find something interesting on fm 106.something.  Here’s the result… btw, Known was giving me a real problem with this…I’m not a fan of it right now…  

  I started my photoblitz this morning at 9:41 and finished it in only 10 minutes! I was surprised at how quickly I thought of things that could work for photos! Here they all are! 1. An interesting shadow: I actually had just lit a candle before I started my photoblitz and it turned out […]

Today’s Daily Create – What’s on I used my favorite radio station, 96x from the Hampton Roads area, and recorded one of the bumpers and part of a song. To record it I used Audacity while I streamed the radio station online, and then exported it as an mp3.

For my Photoblitz I decided to do the assignment in my own apartment (mainly because it was raining outside), so all of the pictures are weird things sitting around my apartment. This was a really fun assignment, even though I think I annoyed my roommate because I did it early in the morning, and it was […]

Daily Create | What’s on your radio? I’m drinking tea and cuddled in my bed reading on this rainy evening. This song has been on repeat! I added it to the #tdc991 group here.

McNulty The episode starts off with McNulty on a drunken rampage. If nothing, all his actions led me to lose all my sympathy for him. Drunk driving just isn’t cool. I thought this was an interesting shot, as I think it sort of prods at a “what have I done” … Continue reading

This was a fun assignment.  I took three different pictures of myself making sure that I was the only thing in the picture that moved.  Once I had all three pictures, I used piZap to clip and merge all three pictures together.  I then uploaded the picture into Flickr.

I did the photoblitz earlier today but didn’t have time to blog it so here is the blog post for it. First, here is my assignment: The first one is something with the number three–rather than using the actual number, I took a picture of three of something: Redd’s Apple Ale:   For this one, […]

I’ve been doing a lot of office nesting over the last six weeks or so. Why? Well, because we moved into a brand new building (which rules), and it just so happens the director of DTLT (that’s me) got an … Continue reading →

One of the visual assignments I completed was “An Album Cover.” For this assignment I was given a link for a random Wikipedia page, Quotes, and Flickr. The title of the wikipedia article was the name of my band, the last 4-5 words of the last quote was my album title, and the 3rd picture […]

After Groom said that my other 8-bit post was too small, I tried it again with the same picture hoping to make it easier to make out. I did it the same way, imported the picture into GIMP, resized it–this time to 1000×1333–then pixelized it (20×20 pixels) and voila. Here is the first try: Here […]

I did the visual assignment “Photo It Like Peanut Butter,” which is worth 3 stars. To do this assignment, I checked out a DSLR camera from DTLT (just to experiment with) and I set it to “continuous shot” mode that way I would be able to kind of recreate the process the process of getting […]

My first Visual Assignment was “We’ve Found Your Match” For this Assignment I did a picture of my roommate Abbie and Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. If you wanna see you can check it out here! This Assignment was 2 Stars. My second Visual Assignment was “Pick a Bad Photo,Apply A Vintage Effect and Write Something […]

I loved this assignment.  It was so funny to work with images and to place random images into my panorama of the view from Monroe towards the fountain.  I took the panorama picture with my phone.  I found random images on google and used piZap to merge them all together.  I then uploaded the picture […]

Visual Assignment 2! This one was great. Just the assignment itself was hilarious because i love both historical figures and disasters. What mostly attracted me this assignment was the whole idea of cropping. I get the hang of cropping when i completed the “Me and Bae” assignment where i cropped out Stringer and Avon into […]

Something my dad and boyfriend having been talking about a lot lately, today especially is a motorcycle. So I thought this assignment would be fitting to do a blueprint of one.   To make it look more vintage, I just...

Ah, GIMP, we meet again. For my first visual assignment, i wanted to parallels because that was one of the things we discussed in the live tweeting which i blogged about here. The visual assignment was created by the man himself, Groom. The basic idea of this assignment was the find parallels between movies, shows, […]

Photoblitz! I had 20 minutes to take all of the pictures in the instructions. My instructions: Let’s go!!

Another awesome Daily Create today (thanks Mariana!), this one was imagined by Tom Woodward and has you picking a patent image and cleaning it up to make it look cool. I couldn’t find a patent image I was in love with, so … Continue reading →

Story Map | create a map telling a story of a trip you took or would like to take. Worth 4 stars. I think the following is pretty self-explanatory. Check out the road trip I would take after graduation:

For today’s daily create, I had to make some old fashioned style design schematics. Since our focus is on The Wire, I decided to use the schematics for a pay phone! I just used GIMP and used the provided layers and the ‘multiply’ function to put it all together.

The title of the episode was “All Prologue.” I think that relates to D’Angelo’s epigraph, which came in his response to the book discussion assertion that “there are no second acts in American lives.” The discussion leader was novelist/screenwriter Richard … Continue reading →
