I am sad to say that Radio week is over! I was able to comment on other classmates’ posts and see their progress of the week whether it was a struggle or a success. I had two weeks to create a radio show and it feels like the week where I was listening to LimeTown […]

Continuing on the radio week! Unlike last week where we decided on the content of the show, we created the radio show itself! My group tried to meet up to make the audio sound the same however due to different schedule we could not meet. Furthermore, we generated a script for our show and had […]

Week 7 was hectic! This week was midterm week and I had several exams to do and by the time the week was over I felt so out of the loop. This week was bad week to be out of the loop since it was all about creating the designs of our radio show. I […]

The whole point of this week was all about Radio creation. The main task was to get into a group so we could start to brainstorm. I did not want to be put into a group that had ideas that did not have any similar ideas. I am a very shy person so to talk […]

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/good-morning-message-for-the-village/, it was rated 2 ½ stars. “Good Morning message for the Village” was to generate a cheerful good morning message to the “Village” or more specifically for your community (ds106). Since we could change up assignments to help in designing our radio show, I decided to change up the requirement. The […]

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/music-mash-2/ , I had to take two or more songs that are similar and mash them together into a conversation.  This assignment was rated 4 stars. I choose to create a conversation between Little mix and the chainsmokers. I choose the song Touch by Little Mix and Paris by the chainsmokers. I […]

One of the requirements for this week alongside the 10-star required assignment was to create a poster/bumper sticker/logo etc. to promote our radio show. The group decided on the name “Agents on Air”. I decided to make a logo since one of my group mates already made a poster for our show. Furthermore, she had […]

For this week, we had to do 10 stars worth of design assignments. I choose to do the assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/emotions-through-sound/ . This assignment was rated 3 ½ stars and it was to create an emotion by combining different sounds. I choose to create the emotion happy and surprise from someone having a birthday celebration. I […]

This week for ds106 was all about Design. This week was fun because I could finally put my creativity to the test. I always enjoyed the concept of design even though the only thing I could draw is stick figures. Nonetheless I am more of the brains in any design operations so I was able […]

When I first browsed the Vignelli Cannon, I was a little skeptical by the way the text was small. It looked boring to me and it remind me of any text in a book that the teachers make you read. However, I was proved wrong once I started reading the text. I overlooked the small […]

Throughout the week, I was task to take pictures of objects for the Design Blitz that showcased several design concepts. While I was reading about the different concepts it helped me see the world in a different way. Ordinary objects around my house became an art of design with several colors, patterns, etc. The first […]

For this week, we had to do 10 stars worth of design assignments. I have a total of 8 stars so I choose the assignment to satisfy the requirement for the week since it was rated 4 stars. This assignment was to design a newspaper and add a story to it whether it was real […]

For this design assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-a-crime-scene/, it was rated 4 stars. It was to create a crime scene using a scene that you personally know. After several clicks through the assignment bank I came across this gem.  I always thought the process behind searching the crime scene was interesting so I thought it would be fun […]

For this assignment, I had to create a TV or movie minimalist poster. The hardest part for me was picking a movie or TV show that I wanted to create a poster of and as a result I choose the Beauty and the Beast. I absolutely love the movie ever since I was a child […]

This week for ds106 was all about audio. I was a little skeptical about doing anything audio related because to be honest I hate recording anything that I am in. However, as the week progress I started to come to like these assignments that I had to do. I listen the podcast called “Moon Graffiti” […]

I hate to say it but the Lime Town Mysteries has finally ended and to be honest I’m left with more questions unanswered than I thought I would at the start of the podcasts. I absolutely enjoyed the dark aspect of the story especially with danger in every turn Lia Haddock made. The background sounds […]

February 15 Continuing on to the third radio show. The Lime Town continues its mystery but this time we can finally get some answers. Lia Haddock is interviewing another survivor. It is crazy how the world is still trying to find answers on the missing people but it seems there is a lot of survivors. […]

Feb 12   @ds106dc Which pen should I use for my notes: gel, normal, fineliner? #tdc1862 pic.twitter.com/iiia5bTKWJ — Amari Byrd (@A_marillo) February 12, 2017

I really like the “Moon Graffiti” podcasts. While I was listening I could make out all the sounds that was in it. The sounds were so real that I could close my eyes and I could see the astronauts and their struggles on the moon. It is crazy how they made a separate letter in […]

I decided to do the assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/dramatic-reading-remix/. The assignment was rated 4 stars. This satisfies my 12 star requirement of audio assignments since I am over it with 14 1/2 stars. For this assignment, I was instructed to take a song and record myself doing a dramatic reading of it and put the dramatic lyrics […]

The Radio Bumper assignment was to create a radio bumper for the ds106 radio station. This assignment was rated 4 stars which I believe should really be 5 stars. Before I started the assignment I did not know what a Radio Bumper was so I had to search the internet for some example videos. Once […]

One of the required audio assignment was  http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sound-effects-story/. For this assignment you had to tell a story using only sounds. Since we had to incorporate our secret agent character, I decided that this assignment was perfect to combine my character with. Once I knew what I was going to do, I used the sounds from […]

February 14 Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and we know that Valentine’s day is all about happiness and love. However the Lime town mysteries is anything but that. It is more dark and creepy. I almost forgot about the radio show until I looked at the time. Thankfully I tuned in time before the radio started. […]

The first and my favorite radio show idea I would suggest would be to tell past or recent mystery stories just like “Lime town” mystery but adding a twist to the show. For example, tell three brief stories of mysteries that nobody could crack but one of the stories have to be real however the […]
