This is the first design assignment I did. Here is the URL for the assignment: <http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/cartoon-the-head/>

I had fun putting this together. This picture it gave as an example was a lama (I think) with sponge bob’s head. I was looking at some cute animals and saw a duck. I thought what better than to put daffey duck on top!!! I used fotoflexer.com to put this together. I had a little difficulty figuring out how to size things and paste them. But it was pretty fun and easy!

This is my second design assignment, taken from this link: <http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/ds106-post-secret/>

I had a lot of fun with this. I found a picture of a post it note and played around with color effects on fotoflexer.com. Once I found the effect I liked, I thought about a “secret” to post. At first, I had this really nifty sparkling font that gave the post it an awesome “secret” effect. Unfortunately it would not save properly on my computer and would not allow me to post it. SO I had to use a more normal font:/ EIther way, I really enjoyed this assignment and the making of it!

This is the cover of my imaginary autobiography. I got the assignment here: <http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/design-the-cover-of-your-autobiography/> This was a really tought assignment for me. I think the hardest part was thinking about what would represent me and the content in my book. Anyone who knows me, knows that green is my favorite color. Green is the color of growth, of life. I chose this picture because the plant life is so vibrantly grren. The rushing river is representative of all of the obastacles in life that I have had to overcome, and all of the life that has been infused because of those obstacles making me who I am today. I used fotoflexer.com to complete this assignment. It was fairly easy and once I knew what I wanted to do, it was rather enjoyable.

This is my movie poster, taken from: <http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-a-movie-poster-for-your-website/>

The title that I have chosen for this may seem really odd to some people. I do not mean it as if those who visit my sight will be enlightened; rather, I mean that this is a space for me to converse with different discourses and become enlightened by everything that I am uncovering and discovering. The picture on the bottom I added because of the sunset. It is vibrant and so full of life like I think that we should all be. I chose the lightening as the main backdrop because I think we could all use a burst of electricity to power us and infuse us with strength and power. I used fotoflexer.com to put this together and had a lot of fun doing it.

I had a lot of difficulty putting this togther. I used fotoflexer. My main issue was layering the two pictures, they did not want to be cropped together and they did not want to fit appropriately. Originally the face I placed in there was supposed to be on the other character from Star Wars, however, this was very problamatic for me. It seemed to fit much better on the other character.
