I decided to do today’s daily create which was to make a self help audio recording. My tip was to simply pray. Its what I do daily and I swear

While browsing through the assignment database, I was inspired when I found one about making movie trading cards. Not only that, but as a casual player of Magic the Gathering, I decided to go ahead and make some Magic inspired cards of some prominent new characters of season 2 of The Wire.   I had […]

I really wanted to use a picture of Omar for this assignment, so I remembered this picture from S1E13. For whatever reason, I decided to use one of the lines that the judge said to McNulty. I then thought that it might would appear that this is a believable line if I attached Avon’s name […]

DAILY CREATE: Make a self-help audio recording. It can be written in the style of a self-help article or book. Or you can take it in a more subtle self-help direction. For my daily create I decided to make a… Continue Reading →

Saturday Daily Create: Today’s daily create was great. Allowing me to give advice to other people and them being forced to listen to my audio made me feel powerful. Most people gave insightful tips but life is too serious. Everyone needs to laugh and smile and remember that things will shape up. Maybe that should […]

I guess I should have read the previous chapters of this book because I didn’t know there was a web storytelling 1.0. But, that’s not the point. What is important is my reflection on this information-loaded chapter from Bryan Alexander’s novel The New Digital Storytelling. Before I started reading, like i always do, I looked at […]

I just finished my daily create for a self-help tip! I think it really speaks to all of the seniors out there and I hope it helps someone!

What is the “digital” in Digital Storytelling?   It is definitely not just the fact that the storytelling is taking place on the Internet. After reading Bryan Alexander‘s “Web 2.0 Storytelling” chapter from his book The New Digital Storytelling, I came to the conclusion that digital storytelling is similar to “analog” epistolary novels. Epistolary novels are novels that are written… Read more →

Maybe it’s just me, but this week felt like things had really leveled up in this class. There seems to be more work of a higher caliber that’s asking us to really get creative. While the list of things to do this week seemed daunting at first, as I began … Continue reading

I did today’s Daily Create, which was to upload a self-help audio recording to SoundCloud. This morning, while having brunch at Foode with my friend and I was lamenting how much work I have to do this weekend and how it’s only going to get crazier, she told me to … Continue reading

  Just some friendly advice to help yourself!

For this assignment, I told myself I would pick something random and do whatever came up and make it about The Wire. So what do I get? The Contest Nobody Could Win (Video-Mashup Edition) The directions are to: Create a … Continue reading →

So for my very first assignment bank I felt it fitting to pay hommage to the very first invite I received to the Twitter community, Talky Tina!  I chose to do a Mashup assignment placing Talky Tina’s head on another object or person.  I went to FACEinHOLE after choosing a Talky Tina image from that […]

Triple Troll Epigraph: The quote was done by Jimmy McNulty.  He quoted this while drinking his 14 shots.  He was referring to Rawls and his hatred of Jimmy. (Episode 2 in Season 2) The scene is between Cedric Daniels and his wife, Marla.  Marla is always concerned about how Cedric’s past can come back to […]

I wanted to start warming up with a nice “Troll Quotes”assignments, one of my all time favorites. This troll quote is actually inspired by the theory that the hard-ass character Major Bill Rawls in The Wire is ironically named after the political philosopher … Continue reading →

Today’s Daily Create was to make a themed video montage. I took all the Stringer Bell clips I had saved from the first season and put them together with the song String’s Gonna Get You (YT) which I actually have … Continue reading →

So for this weeks Digital Storytelling assignment, I had to do 3 daily creates. Below are what I did for my 3 daily creates. Daily Create 1->Assignment 1 In this poem, it actually does describe how I am in the morning. I really didn’t realize how I was till my mom told me I roar […]

A lot of what was discussed in “Web 2.0 Storytelling” reminded me of what I learned about and implemented in Professor Whalen’s Transmedia Fiction class last fall. However, the discussion of these web-based formats for story telling in this reading seems more like the building blocks for transmedia or an … Continue reading

For my first DS106 assignment for The Wire this week, I chose to tell the story of who Stringer Bell became after The Wire using a GIF animation. The assignment can be found here. Although we have just worked with creating GIF images, I was interested in this assignment because…

In the Visual assignment category, I chose to do the Colorize It assignment. I took a photo I had previously taken, and adjusted the colors in the picture. To change the colors of the pictures, I opened my original image into Pixlr and used the Magic Wand tool to select the flower, the leafy background, the middle of the flower, and… Read more →

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. That is what I hear all day. Every single day. The day I was taken out of my box was the best day of my life! I glowed like the sun. I felt so beautiful and special, but it was very short lived. After about two minutes, I was put […]

Hey guys!  Here is my submission for today’s daily create.  I was super excited about this one today, and then things got hectic and I almost ended up forgetting about it!  As a disclaimer: I did not invent this, I just drew it.  I actually have a shirt with something similar on it.  I have […]

I did the daily create again today. My favorite mathematical expression are y=mx+b and a2+b2=c2    . When I looked at twitter, it seemed that y=mx+b was overly done, so I went with the second one. I got my a from here, my 2 from here, my b from here, my c from here, my […]
