My title isn’t as creative as the assignments i completed in these past two weeks. Once again, our work was spread out between two weeks. It wasn’t as bad as last week which i waited to do until the last minute. That really sucked. I was more responsible this time and did my work in […]

For this assignment I used this picture of Daniels to age him.   I uploaded the photo into Gimp to make the edits. To make his face a bit droopier, I used the IWarp tool. This gave the effect of the baggy eyes and double chin. Then I used the airbrush tool to give him… Read More

The first assignment I chose to do was Emoji This. I took 5 common emoji faces and then took pictures of Daniels expressing those emotions. Simply using paint, I copied pictures from Google and then used “different” facial expressions of Daniels. First we have Daniels’ serious face. He’s pretty serious most of the time. Next… Read More

For my last mashup assignment of the week, i went bold and chose the “Lip Read!” assignment worth 4.5 stars. I’ll be honest here, i chose it because it was worth 4 stars and i didn’t want to have to complete 2 more assignments worth 2 stars. BUT! I did enjoy making this. Since i […]

This assignment was perfect for Herc. Marlo stole Herc’s video camera, which Herc is risking his job over. Process: I used this website to create this poster. I downloaded the image of an old fashioned camera and the just uploaded it.

For the assignment I created on creating a motivational poster for a character from The Wire, I decided to do a tutorial. Here are the steps I used: Pick a character from The Wire. I picked Herc Find a picture you want to use. Then I uploaded the picture to this website And simply added the text and downloaded it.

This week was about mashups, remixes and our final project. This week I submitted my two daily create ideas and did the two tutorials as well as completed the assignments.   The Wire Episode 5,6,7  The disappearance of Lex in a alleyway is getting more attention from police and the corner boys. Namond asserts that Chris is turning his victims into

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Once again I bring you a bi-weekly on what has been going on, and trust me, a lot has been going on since you last visited (or if you have been visiting, this will be slightly new). Anywho, enough with my introduction rambling! Time to start off strong. The Wire Mayoral […]

For this assignment on Herc, I thought it would be good to do an ID. Here is Herc’s business card, similar to what I’d think he’d handed out to Marlo in episode 8. Process: I searched for a business card of Baltimore Police and found a template, then I uploaded it into pixlr and erased the name already on the card. Since I

These two weeks were a bit of a struggle for me. The first week I didn’t do much besides daily creates and watching episodes because my workload has been CRAZY. So thank you for giving us two weeks to do this stuff, I appreciate it. Also thank you for giving us until Monday because I […]

For my second DS106 Mash-Up/Remix assignment, the generator remixed “What’s the Meme?” with DS106-ercizing, to create this assignment (3 stars). I had to create a meme that also advertised DS106. My issue with this assignment is that I also wanted to include “The Wire”, so instead, I decided to create…

For my first Mash-Up/Remix assigment (ever!) I used the DS106 Remix Machine to generate a random remixed assignment. On my first go, I got an assignment (5 stars) that I was really interested in doing! The remixer wanted me to create an animated magazine cover, but introduce a character that…

For my second assignment from Rawls’ point of view, I decided to do “That Bleeping Censor” (5 stars).

Daily Create #1: A 3:30 Sketch (that I did much later than that). I did the inspiration sketch quote last week. I chose one of my favorite quotes (Philippians 4:13) and drew it (?) if you can call it that. I used markers and a piece of paper and then took a picture of it […]

For my remix assignment this week, I chose an assignment that looked fun, the A to Z food picture collage, and hit remix. The first one that came up was the “‘Stache it” assignment. I figured I could have some fun with that one, so I went for it. How I did it: I decided […]
