This was an enjoyable week in DS106! I wasn’t aloud to procrastinate the last of my work till Friday so I was actually able to get out and do some things today! But here was my week!
For todays daily create, we were to create a picture without the picture. I was drawing a blank on what I could describe so I turned to fickr for help. That is where I found my inspiration for my photo!

The work that we put in last week in preparing the radio show really paid dividends. This week we met 3 times and had the whole thing finished. We had essentially all of our bumpers and commercials done last week so it was really just a matter of sorting out …
This week was on the lighter side but I know next week we are going to have A LOT of audio editing to do so I shall be prepared! Luckily I like the audio editing much more than the graphic design so it shouldn’t be to bad. Here is what …

For my promo design I decided to keep it stupid simple. I have found that I really like playing with fonts to tell a story. I can spend a lot of time doing some graphic design work trying to create a logo that would tell the story but I am …
The last assignment I did was to create another radio bumper to use in our project. The first two were more erie and geared towards halloween/clowns, but this was more general. I wanted to create something that we could insert anywhere and it would fit.

This week in DS106….
We began our planning for our radio show on outlandish news stories. So far we have come up with some several good ideas that have some meat that we can really get into. Of course, we are dealing with the most terrifying thing around, clowns. We …
This week was a challenging one for me…. Learning GIMP was much harder than anticipated. I thought it was going to be like audacity where I could pick it up quick. Yup not the case. So here is what I have for the week:

For my design blitz I found four different examples that illustrate typography, minimalism/use of space, color, and proportion.
Typography:
This is the logo that I had designed for the family business. I think that it is an excellent use of typography to create a logo with meaning. The artist was …
So when I was looking through the chapters of Show Your Work, I jotted down some notes so I would not take up time writing my reflection if someone else was trying to access the book. However I think I may just leave my notes in bullet format and just …
I found the resources that were provided to us this week to be rather insightful. I started from the video imbedded on the blog, then read the Stranger Things Article, and finally the short booklet. Therefore I will give a quick run down in that order of what I thought.…
So I had 10 stars worth of assignments completed and was looking for something that was not so time consuming to complete. I then found Dog it out where you upload your dog to an editor and then add your desired features. When looking through what other people had done, …

At the beginning of the week I was absolutely swamped with work and dreading learning audio editing once I finished everything. However my opinion quickly changed when I began to get into the meat of the editing. It became quite enjoyable and I can say that I have learned …
Sooo here is what I am thinking. There was a show on the Discovery Channel years ago called The Colony where the cast members had to prep and self sustain after an apocalyptic event. I think it would be cool to do a show about a specific colony when the …
For my last assignment I chose to do a line remix where you take a line from a movie and remix it, but retain enough of the clip so that others will still know what it is from. So, I chose to distort the voices from a line in step …
