As I embarked on my journey into ds106 and the creative world, I was contemplating what I would do for each of these assignments and if I would be able to do them. At the start of the semester, I was weary, shy, and did not know much about creativity. …
This week, we launched into getting all the materials ready for our final product and creating the narrative. My partner and I made our supplemental materials and then combined them in a blog post. I was able to reflect on what a multimedia project is and pull work that was …
For our project, Lindsay and I decided to create a multimedia narrative about the ocean and ocean conservation. This project is very important to both of us and we feel like it is a topic that deserves more attention. We decided to take the multimedia approach so that there are …
This week, we focused on mashup assignments and remixing other assignments. This was a great way to make several of the tools and topics we have explored come together. I also found that this week was a chance for my creativity to explode. It was easy for me to create …
To be entirely honest, I am not really sure where this one came from or why this idea popped into my head. I chose to do a photo mashup as one of my assignments (4 stars). I had a completely different idea when I started and I somehow ended up …
This is my second remix assignment of the week. I decided to do GIFs because these assignments are relatively low stakes and tend to make me laugh. This is also why I chose animals doing funny things because I thought it would be a good break from all the audio …
This is one of my remix assignments. I chose to do another writing assignment because I enjoy being creative with my words and coming up with new ideas. The remix calculator told me to turn my non-human story into something about a boot camp, so that is where Sergeant Sally …
This is one of those assignments that I saw and just knew I had to do. I was looking at all the remix assignment options and decided that it might be kind of fun to remix one of my friends and create them as an emoji… so here we are. …
This week, we moved into creating our final video shows. I really enjoyed the overall experience of bringing my ideas for a show to life. There were definitely a few challenging moments with filming and editing. Trying to get both my partner and me to stay focused and film at …
This week, we moved into the actual production of our short videos and boy was it tasking. I initially started by scripting the video with my partner. Since I am in the digital media studio class at Mary Wash, I have a little bit of experience with scripting in the …
This week we transitioned from working on a lot of audio to working on more video-related assignments. I must say that I was a bit nervous to actually produce videos, so the trailer and voiceover were a good start. I really enjoyed learning how to work with Imovie more because …
My partner and I are planning to connect this video assignment to our final project to give it a test run. We are planning to tell the story of the ocean and call our show “Speaking For The Ocean”. This video show will walk viewers through the importance of the …
After learning a bit more about how films are made and the thought and effort that must go into them, I decided to look at a few famous movie scenes and pick my favorite out of those. The clip that I chose is from The Fault In Our Stars and …
After looking through some of the ideas and talking with people in the class, I have found a partner who has a similar interest and idea as me. Lindsay C. and I are going to be producing a multi-media campaign about ocean conservation and the shark finning industry. We are …
This week was a relatively light week and I was tasked with reflecting on my own work and listening in to the radio shows from my peers and my own. One of my favorite parts of the week was getting to listen to everyone’s shows and the different ideas that …
This week all of the radio shows that we produced are airing on ds106 radio. To be quite honest, I was really looking forward to listening to everyone else’s radio shows but not my own. Since I did a lot of talking in my group’s radio show I was nervous …
Challenge Accepted: This is a story that I have created using my digital creates from this week and one from last week. It is a bit out there! I hope you enjoy!
The Gift of Art: The Case of Piland
There once was a country named Piland that was having …
This week, one of the assignments is to revisit old work and pick two assignments to rework and reflect on. The first assignment that I chose to rework was “If I Could Live Anywhere“. I am visiting this assignment again because I felt like I did not really …
As I was looking at my previous outline for a multimedia narrative and story, I still like my idea but think it might need some changes. I was also contemplating how I could relate this narrative to the theme of Bob Ross. So here it is – Bob Ross’s paintings …
This week was crunch time to get the actual radio show in the works, instead of just brainstorming ideas and making supplemental products. Gathering interviews and hearing what people had to say about Bob Ross and his impact was really interesting and one of my favorite parts of the project. …
My group for the radio show decided that over spring break, we would work on getting interviews for the discussion aspect of our radio show. We asked people to send us an audio recording back answering specific questions that we thought would spark conversation. Over the course of this week, …
This week was the kick-off to creating our own radio shows. This week, we formed groups and my group was tasked with coming up with an idea that somehow related to Bob Ross. Lindsay C. and I discussed creating something different from what the other groups might do and changing …
Are We Live? – this is a live stream show that UMW produces every Tuesday night and is completely run by students. I am a part of the class and we were able to do our first performance this week (2/22).
For this assignment, I decided to create an ad …
For this assignment, I decided to create a radio advertisement for DS106 this actual class. The original assignment was for a commercial ad for the class and wanted you to show assignments so it was in the visual category, but relates to others in the audio category. I decided to …
For my group’s radio show – Who is Bob Ross? I decided to make a logo or a poster. This creation could really serve as either depending on what we would be doing with it. My group and I decided on this font because it fits well with the content …
At the start of the project for the next two weeks, my group and I were at a loss for what to do for the show and how to tie it into the theme of Bob Ross. After some thinking, we decided to follow more of a podcast and interview …
This week we explored different parts of design and how it relates to telling a larger story. Design is easier for me to do because it is something that you absolutely have to do in one form or another. I also enjoy being able to create things and put my …
Bob Ross is not only a painter but a type of motivational speaker and inspiration. Throughout his videos, his demeanor and the words he says go much deeper than just the painting. The whole vibe that he has with his videos creates an opportunity to learn some words of wisdom. …
Creating word clouds is decently familiar to me since I want to be a teacher and they are a good way to add a visual element to assignments. I used an online generator and included some of the topics we have discussed throughout this course, along with some of the …
