A Haunting Theme Park Experience, a ds106 Radio show bring you into the horrors and terrors of the spooky halloween themes these amusement parks take on in October. This was my version of the ds106 radio Poster for the group radio show project we are working on. Our group has come to the agreement that an amusement park would be a great theme especially now in the fall where they often change there appearance drastically in celebration of Halloween. When making this  photo I used a picture of Kings Dominions replica Eiffel Tower, with red Halloween Haunt lights on, added some parentheses to the top beacon to transform it into a radio tower (which I had to expand the canvas … Continue reading →

If Firefly had a trading card set I would most definitely collect all of them. Now technically we were suppose to do a trading card for a movie, but I could only really think of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Firefly. seeing as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings already have trading cards I decided to go with Firefly (they have a movie called Serenity too so I guess I’m not too far off assignment). Not before I go into this any more if you have not seen firefly I highly recommend it, it is only one season and a wrap up movie (Fox canceled it after the first season for who … Continue reading →

War War 2 posters are always interesting things to look at, and usually quite humorous too. For this assignment we were to make a Propaganda Poster for ds106. I looked on google for a good while trying to find a poster that I could use and came across this one, which I don’t know if it is actually a real one but It looked the part at least. It was quite a simple task to do I simply erased the word Win at the bottom and typed in the word blog. Because those blog together… write a lot of posts. It still bugs me that the font doesn’t quite match up and the coloring … Continue reading →

First thing I thought of when they said childrens book, I had to find something Dr. Seuss. Now Horton Hears a Who! was a perfect choice for this childresn computer book assignment because as soon as I read Horton I thought Norton AntiVirus. A quick little thing in photoshop making the H into an N though I didn’t like that it was so subtle of a change so I tried finding something that was Iconic to Norton, I stumbled across the stethoscope and the fun began. Now this was my first REAL project with Adobe Photoshop, and if you have never used it before you are really missing out on something amazing but terrifying at the same time. I … Continue reading →

A truthful Movie poster, this was something that baffled me for the longest time. I couldn’t figure out what movie I wanted to do, and if I had a good movie I couldn’t think of that it was really about or why someone would REALLY go see it. Then I remembered mystic, the mutant who spends basically the entire movie wearing nothing but the blue paint they used to make her character. Now personally I love the X-men comics, as most of the the people who probably went to go see this movie do, so nostalgia was a huge factor in getting me to go see this movie. But a lot of my friends who were not … Continue reading →

And we are hunting design. I found all these examples in magazines that my family subscribes to.   Function, in advertising it is very important to sell your product… and to let the viewer of said ad know what you are selling… this one was easy to figure out what they were selling… but only if you looked really closely. a very small picture of a bottle of alcohol (Even smaller print about drinking responsibly). but the large print has something to do with chasing a rabbit… unless this booze is going to give you hallucinations like some bath tube moonshine this ad did very poorly on it’s major function. selling me a product. Symbols and … Continue reading →

This Typeface is actually a little special to me even before this assignment. It’s the same font I used in my tattoo. it was a really easy project I simply drew it out on a piece of paper and took a picture. I got a little bored when doing it though so I ended up playing around with some of the effects available in Picasa and this is what I ended up with. The U in my name however looks really bad but I spent awhile trying to fix the lettering that I just kind of became content with the way it looked. Vegetarian Day was apparently on Monday, so I looked up vegetarian in google to find some … Continue reading →

PHOTO BLITZ. put as simply as possible, run around a room with a camera and take interesting pictures (there were some Ideas of what to take pictures of). These are the 5 pictures that I felt were the best… I did this in my room because I figured it was the area that had the most stuff to get ideas from. It’s fairly messy right now though but that just lets me see everything to give me ideas for pictures (that’s a good justification isn’t it?). I really had some fun with the Extreme angle shots which seemed to be my favorite photos, at least seemed like the ones that … Continue reading →

My niece started crawling recently, as well as pulling herself up onto to things and “standing.” it’s so cute I couldn’t stop taking pictures and sending them to her momee, who probably hated me at the time cause her phone must...

I remember doing those Album Cover you make from randomly generated things, a ton of different methods of doing this and getting the album/artist name and the artwork. I feel really lucking with the picture and album name I got I feel like the homeless man packed up with his garbage bag suit case moving away I feel like for him Life really may have opened before him and he is moving towards it. The band name Fontanella wasn’t that interesting which is part of the reason I put it up in the sky portion of the photo and got it to kinda look as if it were the clouds. The … Continue reading →

Having a little too much fun with my new app Color Splash, thanks to the Splash the Color visual assignment. It’s a little guard tube keychain and my guard whistle on my keychain. I used the ColorSplash app for the iPhone and Picasa for the zoomed in effect as well as tweaking the shades and hues and everything. I like this picture because being a lifeguard has been such a large part in my life for the past 4 years, being my first job and everything.  It was a lot of fun creating and playing with the colorsplash app, as is evident by the 20 pictures on my photo that I did with this … Continue reading →

Half Man, Half Scare Crow. Though I didn’t do his make up myself I really liked this photo.  It was his makeup for Cornstalkers in Halloween Haunt which I think made him look pretty extraordinary. I used the app ColorSplash on my iPhone to do ...

One of my good friends live on Spring Lake Drive, which is a very interesting road because it crosses over itself. I took this picture for the Unlikely Intersections assignment. It took me forever to figure out, What would be an unlikely intersection and went through road names that I knew off the top of my head and couldn’t for the life of me figure it out. I eventually just pulled up mapquest and looked at the street names around me… mostly just a bunch of roads named after trees (though if I had access to the gated community I would have had some great pirate themed intersections). But then I remembered my … Continue reading →

“Thou shalt count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.” Today we honor the number 3, a shape with 3 sides is the strongest, a 3 legged table can not be wobbly. 3 is seen everywhere and here we honor the number 3. I couldn’t find anything with the number three laying around… or something that I had 3 of so I decided to change the time of my PC clock to 3:33 and … Continue reading →

(Beginning) Chell woke up and there was a little robot ball who said he could help her escape this horrible place. 1. (Purple) Together they adventured through this facility and have a good old laugh while they try to bring down the evil tyrant who controlled it, GLaDOS, they replaced all of her evil mechanisms with defective weapons so in their final show down she had no evil mechanisms to fight with. 2. (red) In order for them to escape Chell put the machine ball thing in control. 3. (Blue) But when he gained control he became consumed with power and so he made GLaDOS a Potato and threw Chell … Continue reading →

The preset alarms on my boyfriends phone… the earliest of which is 4:30am, yes AM. Whenever I stay at his house and he has to work the next day I wake up at ungodly hours of the mornings when he has to go to work. It’s especially infuriating when I’m getting off work at midnight. Done for Monday’s dailycreate. Things which I miss, the good old days of high school playing Dungeons and dragons with my friends till the wee hours of the night… it’s not bad being up at 4:30am when you’ve been playing D&D all night. Friday we were given the prompt to create a close up picture … Continue reading →
