Meet My Dad, The Voter- ds106 Assignment Remixer

Okay, so I really did not know what to do for this assignment, just because I kept getting the weirdest remixes. But I finally landed on this one, which I kinda liked.

So, since it was kinda simple, I decided to make a funny little tutorial for this assignment. Here it is:

  1. Find a funny picture of someone you know. Think very carefully; maybe you have a crazy aunt in Kentucky, or a brother that loves to unicycle. The options are limitless. For me, my dad is the kooky bird of the nest. I found this really interesting photo from this random family trip we went on a year and a half ago:

  2. Next, use a photo editor to edit the photo. I like to stick with Pixlr because it’s super easy, and I don’t have to download anything. I decided to make it seem more old-school by making it sepia-toned. You can also go with black and white. Just change it up, so it looks old.
  3. Add in text that relates to voting/will persuade people to go out and vote. I decided to do something funny, and went with the “Dos Equis” guy approach. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, please go watch some T.V and educate yourself.
  4. Make sure to save it! If you don’t, you’re going to just hate yourself for a minute.

Here’s my finished product!

I wish I had a funnier picture that was actually related to voting to use… But hey, not everyone’s going to have a good submission for this assignment, right? Let me know if you do this remixed assignment! I would love to see what other people do (:
