    Design Blitz!

    Over the weekend my boyfriend and I visited Colorado Springs and were able to find a great many examples of design. I took lots of pictures but narrowed it down to the photos and concepts below.

    This Is Halloween

    by
    In preparation for my favorite holiday, I decided to complete this #ds106 Audio Assignment which had me mixing together different spooky sounds. I used FreeSound to find different public domain tracks and Audacity to mix them together. I focused on creaky wooden steps, ghost whispers, group whispers, spanish whispers, and something more phantom-like. I’ve neverContinue reading "This Is Halloween"

    Week 3 Summary

    This week we focused on the storytelling side of digital media for our main projects, and kept things spicy with some more Daily Creates throughout the week. Watching Kurt Vonnegut define a story’s shape was both entertaining and enlightening. I doubt I’ve ever thought of a story in graph form before, but rather than minimizingContinue reading "Week 3 Summary"
