Google Translate Fail Okay, I laughed really hard when I saw this.  Under the green iPod, it says “Apple iPod family massage your hearing.”  Instantly, I realized that I had to keep this website just for that reason alone.  All of the other stuff didn’t even translate that poorly, but that was just hilarious!  Some ...

Way Back Time Machine Although Amazon has only been around for a little while, it’s obvious how drastic their website has changed over time.  Now, it just looks clean.  The ability for a site to find related things based on your browsing history is absolutely incredible.  Essentially, Amazon can detect what it thinks you will ...

Audio Assignment # 1 Audio Assignment # 2 Audio Assignment # 3 Audio Assignment # 4 Over the past couple of weeks, we were assigned a certain set of ‘stars’ that we had to complete for any given category of assignments.  This week was Audio Assignments.  To be honest, I would have to say that ...

Week 7 Daily Create #1 eXtreme edit I took this picture when I was at the beach and the original picture has absolutely no red in it.  I guess the remnants of the sunset caused the extreme red when I edited the photo. I just used iPhoto to alter the saturation and the tint and ...

4 Daily Creates this week.  Let’s begin. Week 6 Daily Create #1 Since it’s Vegetarian Day, what better way than to take a picture of something green in the refrigerator!  My sister is a vegetarian so I’m going to show her this.  Hopefully she doesn’t know about it and I can surprise her when I ...

So, I forgot that I had to include this as one of my 15 points, so consider this one just a little extra I guess, or one of the others just a little extra.  For this assignment, I went ahead and created a picture with a caption that reflected a bit on what we are ...

For my last Design Assignment, I thought I would spice it up a bit and make something a little bit more fun and scary!  I’m going with the create a zombie one.  As recommended on the site, I used Photofunia for the zombie effect!  I used Jackson as my subject for the zombie effect and ...

I believe this is my 3rd three-star assignment!  I’m on a roll this week for sure for getting some harder assignments under my belt.  For this one, I decided to download an app on my Mac called Photo Lite which allowed me to create a little collage for my photos.  If you have a Mac ...

For my 5th Design Assignment, I’m going with the Design The Cover of Your Autobiography.  I took this picture recently and really thought that it would be great for this specific assignment.  It’s one of those things where as soon as I saw what I needed to do, I had a picture and quote automatically ...

For my 4th Design Assignment, I went with the Cartoon You assignment.  I always like seeing these cartoon drawings and found a website online called Cartoonize that does it pretty much as close as possible to a cartoon.  I really liked using the website, and played around with a few of the templates before I ...

Alright, so this is my first attempt at a 3 star assignment.  Don’t laugh too hard, but I wanted something a bit more challenging than the normal one or two star assignments.  I always love seeing the “If Movie Posters Told The Truth” and I’m pretty sure I nailed this one on the head. This ...

Finding the perfect picture for a caption was definitely the most challenging part of this assignment. The picture that I found of me looking down at the ground was perfect for a DS106 caption for sure.  I was going to go with something a bit more abstract like a building and putting something on there, ...

For Design Assignment #1, I knew exactly what I was going to do.  Me and a couple of my friends from high school were inseparable back in the day.  We would go anywhere and do anything together.  Obviously we have lost the strong connection that we once had in high school since we are all moved on and ...

Three daily creates this week! Week 5 Daily Create #1 Today’s Daily Create was to create sounds that someone is making near us!  I decided to go with the sound of leaves crinkling under my steps since it’s fall and I love this time of year!  I hope you all enjoy! Week 5 Daily Create ...

Okay, this is my last Visual Assignment.  For this one, I decided to change the color of the sky on a picture that I took at the beach.  Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two photos. As much as I like the first one, which is completely un-changed in terms of editing, I really ...

Okay, Photoshop Express Editor definitely gets an A+ from me.  My 5th Visual Assignment was to take a picture of a normal everyday object and alter the color.  What better thing to take a picture of and change the color than a pumpkin!  Here is a side-by-side comparison of the photo that I changed the colors ...

For my 4th Visual Assignment, I’m doing the Draw It assignment.  We are to take a photo and make it look like a sketch or drawing.  I used Photoshop Express Editor to make the photo look like a ‘sketch’.  I absolutely love this website, as I mentioned in my last edited photo, because it makes it ...

For my 3rd Visual Assignment, the assignment that I’m choosing to go with, Car Lust, is to find a picture of my dream car and write a blog about it.  First off, here is my dream car! This would be the Lexus IS 350.  I’ve always loved the way it looks and really want it ...

Alright, here is my first attempt at a visual assignment.  For my first visual assignment, I’m choosing to do this one.  We are to pick a photo, apply a vintage effect and then add some Helvetica font to the photo.  This one actually took me a little bit of time because I wanted to find ...
