    mashups

    by
    So after reviewing the different mash ups, I realized how hard this project is going to be. But what I don’t get is what other medium can we use to create a mashup? I definitely think you need some type of sound but can we use pictures or photographs or things? I feel that inorder ...

    Late last night, I noticed there was a lot of people finishing up paintings for their critiques. Jennifer is one of them who likes to procrastinate on her works. So this photo is about 11 pm at the painting studios. Jennifer is only half way done&#8230...

    by
    Inspired by this photo by Tom Woodward, I wanted to write a haiku. Hole is the focus, enjoy the wabi sabi that nature gives us *wabi sabi- The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent and incomplete”.

    for the many of the classes we normally don’t have final themes, but I guess for printmaking they had to come up with a theme… the circus. I’ll keep photographing the process of a circus themed final portfolio!

    twitter, craiglists, fb. the list goes on…

    by
    I think I may change everything on a random person’s blog by changing the context and their journal entry with whatever picture or any media they have posted in their latest post. I had the idea of just taking an image on a webpage and basing my written context off of the image. OR I ...

    This is my attempt to use of the songs that we used in our radio show and create a bumper with it. Our radio show, if most of you do not know is about a satire of a love advice hotline, where we talk about sex, relationship problems and etc. that most people experience within ...

    Daily”art”shoot

    by
    The one thing that I really liked about the dailyshoot was the opportunity to use my artistic eye and take photos of something interesting everyday. So for the final project, I think it will be interesting to take photos of an art student. Many of the studio art majors are taking multiple art courses during ...

    UP

    by
    For my design assignment, I decided to use Jim Groom’s idea of a traveling poster. I thought this would be a challenge to take a movie and turn it into a simple poster. After deciding on this assignment I tried to decide on a movie that I liked, but every movie I liked the poster ...

    Audio Assignment

    by
    “soft whispers of sweet nothings” on ds106.3 gives you Tricia delicia & Dr. Horace. . . I do have to admit… the audio assignment is a lot more appealing to me because it is something new and adventurous. It really did push me to want to do better especially because I’m putting forth a lot ...

    not necessarily a celeb but close enough

    by
    For one of the visual assignments I saw brobenson’s “we’ve found your match” I thought it this assignment was hilarious and a challenge. No matter if you think your friend looks like a celeb, some people might not think they look like the particular celebrity. So I tried it… Let me know what you think! ...

    audacity

    by
    Audacity reminds me of apple’s garageband program that they have. I have tried garageband a couple of times to mix music for the bhangra team here on campus. So when I saw that our first audio assignment was to use audacity to create a narrative only using sounds… my first initial reaction was cool. But ...

    Seeing other classmate’s works with the dailyshoot was thus far my favorite part of the visual assignments. I think I enjoyed looking at the works than actually taking the photos everyday.
