For Thursday’s Daily Create this week, we had to add some type of caption to old Ladybird book images. I have seen images that have a similar style before, but I haven’t really heard of Ladybird Books before. You can find my submission for this Daily Create below: @ds106dc The Initiation #ds106 #tdc1894 pic.twitter.com/58HAgPsnm4 — […]

For the Movie Trading Cards assignment, I created a trading card of Conan from the movie, Conan The Barbarian (one of my favorites). I already had some of my favorite shots from the movie in my head. The image I chose is somewhat of a meme on the Internet–Conan’s expression is pretty amusing here. So, […]

For the Destination Post Card assignment from the design section of the assignment bank, we have to create a destination postcard by taking an image from a location and put a message over it. My post card, is from The Shire in Middle Earth, of course. I’m a big fantasy dork, and I love the Lord […]

For today’s Daily Create, we had to show off our techniques for making perfect circles. My technique is shown below: @ds106dc ultimate cup-tracing perfect circle technique #ds106 #tdc1874 pic.twitter.com/P0rTpIyaLj — Cole Hodges (@coleohodges) February 25, 2017 I have always used this strategy for drawing perfect circles. While I do not always use a cup, I […]

For https://twitter.com/Markham_McFly/status/834800506644086784 this past Thursday’s Daily Create, we had to make an image of a someone with a quote on it… But, the quote is not from the person in the image, and the name the quote is attributed to is inaccurate as well. Did I mention it was spy themed? Here’s my creation: @ds106dc Sam […]

For this past Tuesday’s Daily Create, the goal was to make this quote by Van Gogh come to life: “If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint & that voice will be silenced.” You can find my creation below. @ds106dc I have finally silenced the voices that […]

This is the Daily Create I took on from today. Today’s Daily Create had the pretty broad theme of time crystals, a form of matter that was recently discovered. @ds106dc Time crystals have been around for a while… https://t.co/Hwj3wStCwW#ds106 #tdc1867 pic.twitter.com/4oOQgQuaYN — Cole Hodges (@coleohodges) February 17, 2017 For this assignment, I posted an image […]

This is the Daily Create I took on this past Wednesday. Our directive was to take and image of something upside down (or turn and image upside down) to create something we thought looked cool. You can find my submission below: @ds106dc class has really been turned upside down today. #ds106 #tdc1865 pic.twitter.com/1p7HIUro9Y — Cole […]

For this Tuesday’s Daily Create, I added a caption to a Valentine’s Day card (illustration, whatever you’d like to call it). I thought this was a pretty great assignment for Valentine’s Day. You can find my creation below: @ds106dc @Cali4beach My favorite picture out of the bunch. #ds106 #tdc1864 pic.twitter.com/aBqUA1cCzz — Cole Hodges (@coleohodges) February […]

Introduction The theme of this week in DS106 was audio. I’ve had a lot of fun recently and in the past editing audio and mixing stuff together, so I was able to enjoy creating in that form of media this week. Think about Audio Storytelling One of the assignments this week was to listen to “Moon […]

One of my assignment bank assignments for this week was “Please!! Someone Call The Police!!!.” This assignment was mostly improv between me and my friend, Kevin. I say mostly improv, because there were a few times when we had to cut the recording and try again. The assignment was pretty straightforward.

This track is the successor to a previous track I did, “Hell Is Real.” It was for the Spooky Sounds assignment from the assignment bank. I made this entire track by recording sounds I made and my voice and generating white and brown sound in Audacity, and then putting a bunch of effects on all […]

One of the assignments that was required for this week was the Sound Effects Story. Here is my sound effects story, with a not-so-happy ending. I started the assignment by spitballing the idea for my story. I thought a chase scene with running footsteps and a police siren would be pretty doable–all the effects I […]

Here’s my radio buffer for my upcoming ds106 radio show project. I created it with inspiration from all my previous campus radio shows, using audio clips I used in my radio shows. I just put together some of my favorite audio clips, recorded my voice saying something that I would hear on a local “the […]

Below I will list and explore some ideas for the upcoming radio show assignment: The Spy Stories: This would just be a story told through audio about Aaron Brand (my spy character) and the other spy characters of the other students in the group. My group mates and I will collaborate and come up with […]

This Wednesday, I tuned into the DS106 Radio to listen to that evening’s episode of the Limetown saga. I only caught the show from 9:00 PM to 9:30 PM, because I had plans. I’ve never participated in live-Tweeting before, but I really enjoyed it! The show itself was really well-done. All the dialogue, the mystery that […]

The Truth Podcast can really make a creepy audio story. This week I listened to “Moon Graffiti” on The Truth Podcast’s Sound Cloud. Audio has a powerful effect in storytelling. Sound effects, just as much as dialogue, are important in telling a story. “Moon Graffiti” is an excellent example of this. I especially like the sound […]

Introduction This week’s mission had the goal of collecting some visual intelligence. I will admit, this is not the strongest mission I have turned in to HQ, as some of the parts are missing. Let’s get into it. Think about the Visuals of Storytelling Here’s my post on the visuals of storytelling. This was a […]
