The second week of the Radio show was very enjoyable. My group met on Monday night in the recording studio. I was in a group with Landon, Shannon, Bryan, Christine and Jack. I knew almost all of them from outside of the group. Brian had his own microphone, so we used that along with … Continue reading Radio Show Week 2

I have talked to them a lot over text message about our radio show project. They have already met but I was not able to … Continue reading Progress

Radio Show Promo: the title of our radio show is Inside talking starring Lena Meyers. I think the black and white and plainness of the logo adds to the mystery of what the show will be about.

The spacing used throughout the film reminds me a lot of all the options given to us for the Design Blitz. I think the most important element used in this movie that was discussed is the “Use of Space.” I think that the use of space in this movie was essential to helping build the … Continue reading Films

I agree to the statement that Vignelli Canon suggests that states that “Creativity needs the support of knowledge to be able to perform at its best.” Creativity cannot run freely but needs a balance of knowledge and the subject to perform. I also believe that graphic design can be on ink and paper as well as in the … Continue reading Vignelli Canon

This week was slightly challenging. I was very busy with life and put ds106 on the back burner. But i did learn a lot that I did not know about copyrighting. Also, I took different approaches to taking pictures that I hadn’t done before. Overall, I learned a lot from this week.

My impression of the copyright law is that it was put in place to respect people’s work and allow them to receive private reward. I believe that this law satisfies those in need of protection over their own work. This law decreases claims of the general public as well as decrease plagiarism. The fair use … Continue reading Copyright & Creative Commons

Week 4: This week was definitely the hardest one yet. I have never really done much with audio and I struggled a little bit. Also, I have never payed much attention to sound.

911 Call – 3.5 STARS For this assignment, I did a fake 911 call of a woman with a hangnail.

Sound impacts mood and creates atmosphere by drawing attention to the listener and allowing them to interpret how the sound makes them feel. For example, “spooky sounds” create a dark, somewhat uncomfortable tone. Sound helps express the visual image by defining mood and directing our attention. Sound is emotionally direct, so it is a powerful … Continue reading Audio Reflection
