In this assignment, The Contest That Nobody Could Win, we were meant to “Take six very short fragments (less than one second each) from six different songs and ensemble them into a single piece.” Since I wanted to use songs that were already on my phone, AND that most …
For this assignment, Favorite Song, the action was to take your favorite song, and remove the lyrics. Since the assignment said to use one of your favorite song I decided to use my actual #1 favorite song. You were also suppose to play only around 30 seconds of it …
Audio in storytelling is so important!! After listening to my favorite podcast, The Basement Yard, for coming up on a year now, I just got used to not hearing anything in the background. But then, after I listened to Moon Graffiti, it changed the whole game! I got …
In this assignment, Dramatic Reading Remix, we were assigned to take a song and dramatically read the lyrics. Then put them with different music to make it sound different. At first, I misread the instructions and dramatically read a songs lyrics to the song’s own music. I did Eye …
Even though this week I had negative time to work on things. Like this week every moment that I had free time, I would be doing homework and I was still pretty crunched on time. It seems I say this every week, but that’s the college life I guess. If …
For this assignment, I did Story Map. For this assignment they wanted me to use Knightlab’s Story Map. However, I wanted to make my own. So I made my own, “story map” of all of my pictures from when I went to Italy spring of 2015.
Since we …
I took on the assignment, Splash the Color, and I think it was a lot of fun! I love messing with color in pictures. In this assignment, you had to have a black and white picture with one object or subject full of color. So, there was a “splash” …
As this week I was crunched for time like no other, I couldn’t take my sweet ole time doing these pictures. However I did take some advice into account.
I started taking pictures in my backyard. And by “backyard” I mean around campus. And by “around campus” I mean a …
I did some slight research on Jim Richardson and thought that his work was amazing! First I looked at his National Geographic Photography, which I thought was amazing. I loved all the pictures of the different people, landscapes, and nature. Then I realized something. My friend has a smart TV …
In this post I am going to be reflecting to The Death of Photography by Stuart Jeffries from The Guardian.
In many ways I agree with Jeffries. I have many memories of going to events and not really remembering it, however I also have other memories that I highly recorded …
Now days, you probably can’t find a magazine on the shelf that doesn’t have a photoshopped picture in it. It’s human nature to correct our imperfections. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it because I know it’s not real. However, for mothers out there that have their children looking …
In the spirit of this being the 1946 week, the pictures are of my grandfather, Victor Backhus who fought in WWII. I remember he wasn’t shy to tell stories of his time in service and would speak of them often. However, sadly he passed away August 8, 2009.
This week …
I am going to be discussing what I thought about the article “As We May Think.”
As I “read” this article, it was really hard for me to focus in on it. It was just so long! So as I skimmed it there were some good points in …
For this post we are going to be talking about Getting to Know, Decim Peters.
For one of my other assignments I decided to do the fanfic assignment “Creating Your Own Character.” For this assignment, you needed to create your own character. At first I thought this …
