After class last night I thought it will be appropriate to give professor some insight on his idea of remixing ds106. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that its a excellent idea. I say this because when you hear the idea of making art, you immediately think of creativity. What’s more creative then doing a remix?

Remixing previous ds106 assignments done by other students really makes you think outside the box. It’s easy to look at a assignment and know this is what I have to do, although that limits your creativity. But to have the chance to literally do the opposite of what a assignment says gives you the ability change the idea of the assignment.

Remixing ds106 I believe will make us more creative, it gives us the opportunity to literally do assignments backwards, instead of doing them from scratch.

Some remix ideas that I came across with are the following:

• Reverse the assignment, if its a video put the beginning at the end and vice versa. If it’s a photo flip it upside down.
• Remix the assignment by incorporating a 70′s theme. Use bright colors, put red hair on people, bring on the long hair.
