Another week down. Here’s the wrap-up: Make our agency present on the web: Headline Crime is officially in business. http://headlinecrime.christineloehr.org/Agency/ Creating the subdomain was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. However, Scott and I are still working out the kinks of our website and advancing it to where we want … Continue reading Week 11

Today’s Daily Create was to take a photo with an umbrella. I used an interesting angle and utilized natural lighting to make this photo look kind of abstract. Here it is:

The assignment guidelines can be found here. This design assignment is worth 2 and 1/2 stars. The postcard I made is from a place that I want to be right now. My family lives in Scotland and I haven’t seen them in so long! I would love to go visit them, but I’ve just been … Continue reading Greetings From Scotland

Bet you guys didn’t expect to see one of these this week. Thanks to the graciousness and understanding of head agents Groom, Bond, Black and Burtis, my team was given an extension on our video show. Jota, Johnny, and I didn’t have schedules that worked well together last week and we could not find the … Continue reading A Video Show This Week?

An assignment I decided to do this week was to create a hybrid animal. I decided to mix Scott’s favorite animal, a dog, my favorite animal, an elephant, and another animal that I think portrays the mixing of Scott and I’s very different personalities, a zebra. The zebra’s black and white pattern signifies just how … Continue reading ElephantZebraDog

I decided to complete this assignment because I love to travel and I love Pinterest! This assignment is called “Create Your Dream Vacation On Pinterest!” and it’s worth 3 stars. The details of the assignment can be found here. This was easy for me to do since I am so well-versed in Pinterest. I decided … Continue reading Dream Vacation: Brazil

This assignment was completed to give you guys a little background about how Scott and I formed this agency. You can find the guidelines for this assignment here. This assignment is worth 2 stars and is a web assignment. Using the Storify program was very easy! I was surprised that it was so user-friendly. Since … Continue reading The Beginning of “Headline Crime”

Today’s Daily Create was to save Noddy from the dumpster. After saving him, he hungout with his Stepbrothers.

This past week was a little crazy. I had a really busy schedule and then yesterday I had one of my good friend’s wedding to go to! Here’s my work for Noir 106 this week: Video Progress: http://ds106.christineloehr.org/lenameyers/week-2-video-show/ Here’s the trailer for our show: Interview: http://ds106.christineloehr.org/assignments/interview/ 3 Daily Creates: 1. http://ds106.christineloehr.org/daily-create/15-30-second-batman/ 2. http://ds106.christineloehr.org/daily-create/motivational-poster/ 3. http://ds106.christineloehr.org/daily-create/i-made-art/ … Continue reading Week 10: Over & Out

For the Final Unit of DS106, I decided to work in a group. I’ll be working with Scott Brinkmann! Scott and I have gotten to know each other pretty well over the past few weeks and I’m excited to do some work with him. Although we haven’t been given a lot of information about our … Continue reading Final Unit Decision

One of the big assignments this week was to do an interview with the four agents of Noir 106. Since they are so busy, we had to do this all online. I randomly selected questions and put my responses with them. Here’s my interview with Bond, Burtis, Black, and Groom. Enjoy!

Week 2 on our video and we encountered a small problem. We were supposed to shoot the video this week but none of us could meet up this week to finish the task. Weddings, work, internships, classes, and varsity sports practices all got in our way this week. Luckily for us, the kind agents (professors) … Continue reading Week 2 Video Show

Today’s Daily Create was really fun! The task was to make a piece of art (dammit) with our fingerprint. I immediately thought of my childhood and how we would always do little things with our thumbprints. So, I colored my thumbs with markers and then made a caterpillar out of them.

Today’s Daily Create was to make a motivational poster. However, the words that accompanied the picture needed to be our own words. I took a picture of my team after a big win last season and added some encouraging words. There will never be an “I” in “team” and a huge win like this one … Continue reading Motivational Poster

Today’s Daily Create was to create a drawing of Batman in 15 seconds…this was really hard. I’m a terrible drawer. This took me longer than 15 seconds (sorry I cheated).

Week 9 was quite a week. We’re getting so close to finals and summer that it’s making me nervous. One part of this week that’s a usual task is Daily Create. This week, we had to do 2. Here are mine: 1. http://ds106.christineloehr.org/daily-create/mail-art/ 2. http://ds106.christineloehr.org/daily-create/arty-blur-photo/ Next up was to do a final reflection of our … Continue reading Week 9: Done

This week, our first video assignment was to make a video essay analyzing a scene from the movie we watched this week. I did my essay on a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Notorious.” After reading “How To Read A Movie,” I watched 3 videos explaining some more in-depth things. The three I watched were “Examples … Continue reading Video Essay

For this week and next week, Landon Epperly, Jack Eaton, and I chose to do option 2 and make a video show with our characters. We will be continuing the story that we started with our radio show. (if you haven’t listened to it, you really should…just sayin’). Here’s our radio show: I obviously can’t … Continue reading Video Show Plan

This week I listened to the radio shows that aired Thursday night. They were “Dinner Party At 6″ and “The Noir Buzz.” “Dinner Party At 6″ This show was based off of the idea of the game and the movie “Clue.” As soon as I figured out that it was, I was instantly excited to … Continue reading Radio Show Listen & Tweet Along

Wow is it already over? It seems like so much work was squished into so little time! I loved doing the radio show. My group was fun, focused, and wanted to make it really good. I think it was really beneficial for us to create our group early and start collaborating on ideas right away. … Continue reading Radio Show Final Reflection

Today’s Daily Create was to create an “Arty Blur Photo.” This was a pretty simple task, but I wasn’t sure what would look good as a blurry photo (bc pictures aren’t supposed to be blurry). I began by thinking about lighting. The lighting in a photo can determine a lot about the picture. The idea … Continue reading Arty Blur Photo

Today’s Daily Create was to make a piece of art out of mail. Although mine is simple, I liked the meaning I had behind it. I had these thank you cards from different friends hung up in my room. A lot of the time, it’s really easy for me to forget how lucky I am … Continue reading Mail Art

This week I listened to DS 106 Radio on Thursday. “NOIR Not The Father” and “NOIRTalk” were on that night. Both of the shows were phenomenal! Here’s my write-up about both of them: http://ds106.christineloehr.org/radio-show/ds106-radio-listen-along/ The next task for the week was to submit 4 different pieces of work on the DS106 IN[SPIRE] page. 1. The … Continue reading Week 8 Down

LOGO DESIGN – THE ASCENT: OPERATION EVEREST (By: Brian Goulet) I really liked Brian’s post because of how much he focused on simplicity. He designed one simple image to go along with all of his assignments for the week. I like how he plans to bring everything together through one simple design. This inspired me … Continue reading Final Inspiration

Here’s the original post. And here’s the inspiration post. This post really inspired me because of the first statement that opens the post. “We’re reaching a time in our lives where where professionalism is key.” It’s really hit me recently that I’m growing up really quick and reading this was just another reminder. I really … Continue reading Inspiration #3

Here is the inspiration post! I really loved this post because it made me think about the differences between digital and non-digital art. I’ve gotten very wrapped up in making everything digital and haven’t been paying attention to the things that I can physically touch and see around me. I love that this class has … Continue reading Another Inspiration
