I used https://freesound.org again to find a background sound. Then I transferred it over to Audacity, and recorded my part of the radio bumper.
I can’t always think of what to say for a radio bumper, I usually go through like 10 different scripts before I find the right one …
I really liked doing this because it is kind of it’s own promo. I used sound effects from https://freesound.org and Audacity. I wanted to find sound effects that related to our radio show. I looked up the specific sounds I wanted, and imported them into Audacity. I messed around with …
I created two different logos for our radio show. I used Canva, and tried to not use their templates because I wanted something unique. I found a silhouette of Bob Ross from Google, because he is the focus of our radio show. I then messed around with a few stickers …
Things are progressing well for our project. I’m excited to see where our radio show takes us. We decided to do a mystery show (which was an idea from my original list, so needless to say I’m extremely excited). We met on Sunday (those of us who were able to), …
This week was so much fun. It could be because we weren’t assigned as much, so I felt like I could take my time on each assignment now. I really thought hard about what I wanted to produce this week, and I think I managed to really reflect my design …
I think the readings really helped me complete my design blitz. I realized what was important, and what I could focus on in order to tell a story.
Graphic design needs your willing mental participation, even if it’s subconscious. Graphic design is message-sending into the brain. It is a cerebral …
So for this assignment, I will disclose I did edit a few of the photos to really enhance each concept. BUT this week is focused on our designing and editing skills, so I see no issue!

I LOVE this …
When thinking about this assignment, I kind of came up with a bunch of different ideas.
A Cinderella Story – “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”
Grey’s Anatomy – “Pick me, choose me, love me.”
The Notebook – “If I’m a bird, …
I wasn’t sure what event I wanted to do for this assignment. I went on the venue website that I usually see most of my concerts at, at home, and found one that I would like to go to and ended up making this poster.
I used Canva to …
So I took a different approach for this assignment. I’m not a big fan of taking pictures of myself, and I didn’t want to just do landscape picture because that doesn’t say anything about me. I knew I wanted to use my dog as the subject for the photo, …
This week was probably my favorite. Though it was a bit difficult getting to know Audacity, I learned fairly quickly. I’d probably have to say this week I learned the most (though week 1 I did learn a lot), but I think I learned outside of the course requirements. I …
I brainstormed quite a few ideas in my head for what my radio show could be. My favorite would be simply talking about my life and my experiences (podcast style), answering questions about myself, etc…
My other idea would be to have a radio show where I talk about a …
I won’t be offended if you listened to this for .2 seconds and then immediately had to turn it off. I can’t even say doing this assignment was fun, because it quite literally gave me a headache. I only used 3 different sounds from http://freesound.org frankly because I couldn’t sit …
My take on this assignment was probably pretty basic, but I had so much fun doing it. I used a total of 6 different ~scary~ sounds from http://freesound.org. I’ve been having a lot of fun messing with the envelope feature, so when the person opens the door, you’ll notice …
I had fun with this! I got to try out the envelope feature in Audacity, which was pretty cool! …
Seeing this assignment made me so excited, because every night I play some sort of white noise to help me fall asleep.
I used http://freesound.org to find my 5 different relaxation sounds and Audacity to import them. I used cowbells, 2 different types of relaxation music, piano music, and waves …
For my sound effects story I decided to basically go through what it’s like to take my dog for a walk. It’s kind of a stretch, but I personally think it relates to our theme of “The Joy of Painting.” Because my joy in life are my animals. This sound …
I listened to the DS106 Radio twice. I listened on Monday, but I didn’t participate in the discord enough to think I could write a blog post about it. I then listened to Wednesday’s, which I’m really glad I did (I personally thought it was a bit more interesting, maybe …
When listening to Moon Graffiti, I got a lot from their voices. Around 7 mins in, my heart about dropped because of their shift in tone. Though they were fearful from the beginning, they immediately went to being absolutely terrified and ready to say goodbye to their wives and kids. …
I think this week was interesting, because everyone was producing so much work. I do wish I would have taken a different approach this week. I wish I would have started with the photography reflection post/ds106 photography post, so I could use that new knowledge when I was completing my …
I wouldn’t say when I take pictures that I focus on a story. I usually take pictures in order to remember a moment (which may be considered a story, I just don’t think so). Anyone can look at a photo I took of some trees, but they would never understand …
I’m not sure why I chose this assignment. I’m not a big concert fan, but I will say after seeing so many TikToks of people at a Harry Styles concert… I want to go. However, you will NEVER catch me paying that much money to see him unless I …
THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS PERFECT – because I have the most sassy animals in the world. For a bit of background, my dog was playing at her doggie friends house… but as soon as food comes around you’re done. She will bark, and bark, and bark until she has what she …
I started looking up short poems, and nothing was calling my name for this assignment. But just as I was able to give up, I remembered the one saying that I always say.
It may not be long, but honestly it has so much meaning. I typically say it …
For this assignment, I kind of wanted to switch it up a bit. I used an older photo, but I knew I had to use one where all my cats were in the same place. I find it funny how each of my cats have a different expression on …
I honestly just Googled “Movie Posters” to start this assignment. When I saw The Sound of Music, I knew it was perfect. It’s such a classic movie, and the movie poster could be made funny in so many different ways.
Immediately when I saw her arms reaching out I either …
This was kind of funny to do. My photos look like a 10 year old took them on their iPod, but that’s what you have to do when you’re busy all day. I started at 8:31PM and finished at 8:46PM.
1. Doors can have a lot of character, be it …
I used to take a lot of photos.
In high school, I took a photography course which really interested me (but when I came to UMW and heard how high the class materials were for photography, I knew that was the end of that). But, even on my phone I …
I feel as if I didn’t write much this week because this week flew by. I will say I procrastinated a lot. I did create brainstorms for everything I wanted to do for the week, I just never got around to it until the last minute (that’s what happens when …
I honestly couldn’t think of a long-form story at all. Whenever I thought of something, my mind immediately went to animals. So how do I write a story about animals? I bounced around ideas I could use, so I figured I’d outline them, that way in the future if one …
