I did yesterday’s daily create just in the nick of time. Obviously by the time I decided to do it, it was dark outside so to make it hard to tell what the object was I had to make it dark in the room as well. It may be obvious what it is, nevertheless I […]

I really enjoyed this week. Getting to reflect on what others have done (and what we have done) was really nice. It was a good community-building week. I wish I had more time to go through my classmates’ posts and see what they have been up to,  but unfortunately I don’t. :/ It was nice […]

I did today’s daily create. This might be the earliest I have ever completed one. I also took my time doing it–mostly because I was procrastinating writing a paper >.< I decided to draw things that I liked or that described me. I struggled to think of that many things that I liked so some […]

I liked a lot of things about TDSN radio. I liked the bumper that they made and how they used it throughout the show to show cohesiveness. I also loved the background music that they chose. I liked how the theme song was in the background while they were talking about the history and explaining […]

I did today’s daily create. I originally wasn’t going to do it because I don’t have a camera that I can set for long exposure times. But then I saw Lauren’s post about how she did hers and it seemed easy so I went for it. How I did it: I downloaded the Art of […]

Season 3: Episode 5: “I had such fu#kin’ hopes for us” -McNulty Bubbs’s friend doesn’t understand why Bubbs is helping Kima and Jimmy for money. Bubbs is going along with his plan to get money from the white guy on the ladder. His buddy gets the money and then Bubbs isn’t in the alley when […]

The post “New Morning Star” inspired me during audio week. It was not an assignment that I decided to do, but as I was browsing through everyone’s assignment, I listened to a few different recording ones. This one was one of the highest quality and seemed to be the most understandable out of the ones […]

The second post that inspired me was Travis Peed’s “The Right Logo For Me.” This was a daily create assignment but Travis went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. I know it took him longer than ten minutes to do it because it is very impressive. He made a logo out of […]

For my first inspiration piece this week, I went with Jess Reingold’s post “Now You’re in the Game.” I remember when we were first going to make GIFs I was very intimidated. I had no idea what to do or where to start so I looked at the examples and tutorials and eventually figured it out. […]

This week was interesting. It wasn’t too labor intensive for me and my group, though I know it was for others. The biggest problem that we had this week was just hammering out the issues with our radio show. Overall I think it turned out really well. Exactly what I expected with a lot of […]

I did the daily create on Tuesday which was “Today is a very special day.” When I first saw it I was just going to put up a picture of my crossbow in the woods because it is a special day when I get to hunt. But then I got a deer so it became […]

My group–Stefanie, Nicky, and I–have decided on a group name! Our “radio station” will be WMAD radio. The MAD stands for “make art, dammit!” so we thought that would be appropriate. (I thought of the name and my group-mates approved it, woo!) We also ended up using my idea for the radio show, talking about […]

This week was a fairly light one, I thought. I thought twelve stars of audio assignments was kind of a lot but it was not too bad to actually do them. My First Radio Bumper: The first audio assignment I did this week was the DS106 Radio bumper (1.5 stars). I didn’t do it in the […]

I did today’s daily create “(Don’t) Describe #wire106.” And I read a couple of other people’s ideas (of course because I don’t want to be way off base here) and I kind of spun off of their ideas. I don’t know if anyone has seen White Collar but it is a GREAT show (which will […]

This week we are supposed to make a promo poster (or something like it) for DS106 Radio. I decided to take an angry picture of McNulty and kind of make the poster like a threat. “You’re going to do this or else…” kind of thing. Here is what I came up with: How I did […]

So my last audio assignment for the week was “Voice Over a Beat” (1.5 stars). I chose to do this one because I thought it would be fun. Though at first, I didn’t know what I was going to say. How I did it: But I went on Soundation and created a login so I […]

I did the audio assignment “FlickrSounds” which is worth 1.5 stars. At first I didn’t know what to search so I searched sunset and then I came up with a picture/sound combination that was interesting to me. Mostly because they don’t really go together but they could. There could be a stream somewhere out of […]

For my next design assignment this week I did “Interview/Music Mashup” (3 stars). I loved the example that was posted on the assignment page, as well as some of the other people’s takes on it. They all turned out super funny so I figured I would give it a try. I think the hardest part […]

In honor of hunting season, I decided to do the “Sound Effects Story” (3.5 stars) of someone shooting a deer with a bow. I obviously could have made it much longer because the background noise could have gone on forever before the deer walked up but I didn’t because it had to be less than […]

My first audio assignment for this week was the “DS106 Radio Bumper” Assignment (1.5 stars). I decided to do it since we have our radio shows this week and next week and we need some bumpers for them! I didn’t do this assignment in the previous audio week because I liked a lot of the […]

Episode 9: I thought it was interesting how right off the bat I realized that they weren’t aiming so they weren’t going to hit their targets. Did I think a stray bullet would go through a second story window? No, but anything can happen when you don’t aim. I also thought the fade from the […]

Here are my images for the DesignBlitz this week and the elements that they represent (or mess up) in my eyes. Typography: Typography is supposed to be bringing words to life. The reason I like this sign is because you can see how the word “love” is emphasized. In this case it is emphasized using […]

There were a few things from this book that really stood out to me. I really liked how he said that every detail is important because the end result is the sum of the details. That is true not only in design, but in everything in life. (Of course) I thought of softball immediately. My […]

After Groom’s suggestion that I make my “Six Word Memoir” (2 stars) for Daniels more memorable, I got a little more creative with it. How I did it: Welllll, first I imported this picture of Daniels into GIMP. Then I went to Filters>Artistic>Cartoon to make Daniels cartoonified. I messed with the slidey things until I […]

I did today’s daily create about “Powers of 10.” I didn’t realize until today just how many of my daily creates are about softball. So since we were supposed to remix or collage or whatever at least three of our daily creates, I picked three that were about softball. Obviously there are a lot of […]

For my final design assignment I did “Lyric Typography Poster” (3.5 stars). I did “American Kids” by Kenny Chesney. In case you haven’t been able to tell by this point, I really like that song. It also has some vivid words that I figured I could find good fonts and could think of cool things […]

I did today’s daily create, “Trace Yourself!” I am happy with the way it turned out and I thought it was going to take me longer than it did. How I did it: I pulled up a picture on my computer that I thought would be cool to trace. It happens to be a softball […]

I did yesterday’s daily create but didn’t get a chance to blog about it, so here is the post for it. The daily create was “Make Your DS106 #4life Empathy Map” at first I didn’t know if I wanted to do this or not. But then when I thought about it I figured it would […]

For my third design assignment this week, I did “Minimalist TV/Movie Poster” (3.5 stars). I chose this because I figured it would be easy to do for The Wire, it’s about drugs. How I did it: So I went on The Noun Project and searched “drugs” and came up with Drugs by Ed Harrison which I thought […]

For my second design assignment this week I went with “DS106 Post Secret” (2 stars). I thought about doing this for myself, but I would rather make an assumption about something that happened in Epsiode 11. So in Episode 11 Stringer meets with Omar because Avon’s crew has been trying to get Omar to come […]
