I did my own remix on one of my older assignments. I just thought it’d be goofy to make the poster I made completely country themed. It came out pretty good. It did take a while, but I enjoyed making it and had some fun as well.
I basically just …
I used a live performance of Post Malone singing Feeling Whitney and the version you hear on the radio. I made tried to make the transition of one version to other smooth and I think I nailed it pretty well. I kept the videos so you could see the live …
For my first assignments remixed I got Jump Shrimp. It said that I needed to create an oxymoron to an assignment I have already created. So, I chose the funniest one, BUG EYES. The opposite of big goofy looking eyes would be tiny eyes. That exactly what I did in …
The Shining and ET don’t really make sense together. So, put them in the same picture. BTW, I am not the best at photoshop, but I think it came out ok, and only ok. This took me a while to make with many YouTube tutorials being part of the process. …

I texted my friend asking him to record what he eats throughout his day. That was it, I put no context behind it. For some reason he agreed and that’s why you’re reading this. The reason I didn’t personally do what I ate throughout my day is because its exact …
