This week, I completed my final project for DS106. Keeping with our theme of “(Y)our Story” I made a blog post that told the story of my creative journey through writing, visual, and design. This changed a little from my original write-up because I really didn’t foresee me having the …
For as long as I remember, art has always been a part of my life. I always loved those kits where you could make your own jewelry or paint your own tea set, paint-by-numbers, and “how to draw” books. While I’ve always been an artistic person, the point where art …
This week, we began working on our final projects. This will be a culmination of everything we’ve learned so far regarding digital storytelling. We are tasked with creating a story related to our theme, “(Y)our Story” using three different mediums we’ve learned about this semester. As I talked about in …
This week we focused on remixes and mashups. I cant really say I enjoyed the assignments this week, but I think that was mostly because I was so busy in my other classes. I think I said that last week, but the end of the semester is always like that! …

For this mashup assignment we were tasked with creating a new song out of preexisting songs and try and make the lyrics flow together.
Here are the five songs I chose:
Horseshoe Crab – Slothrust
Ship to Wreck – Florence and the Machine
Islander – Robyn Sherwell
Ship in Port …

This is another remix assignment where we complete a remix on an original prompt from the assignment bank. For this one, I chose to do the Tattoo that Describes You design assignment. The remix I got to go with it was to make the assignment more pink somehow.
I’ve …
For this assignment we had to pick anything from the assignment bank and complete a remix on it. The original assignment I chose was a visual assignment where you made yourself in collage form. The remix I got was to do the opposite of what the assignment was asking.…
This week, we continued to work on video. I specifically focused on finishing my video project that I outlined last week. This week has been super busy in other classes, so I feel like DS106 kind of fell to the side. However, I’m pretty happy with how my final video …
As finals rapidly approach, we are tasked with thinking about ideas for our final projects in DS106. You may recall my initial thoughts and how I was really at a loss on what to do. I am still not super confident in any of my ideas, but I’ve had much …

This week, my main goal was to finish up my video that I wrote about last week. This is the write up post about what I did to make it and how I think it turned out!
First of all, my process for creating the video was to use Da …

And that concludes the first week of our video section for DS106! Here is a collection of the work I completed for this week.
First of all, I created a little video essay analyzing a scene from Inside Llewyn Davis. I really enjoyed thinking more critically about how scenes are …
You may recall from my initial post about the video assignment that there was a trailer coming. Here it is!
I used a lot of the same editing techniques used in my Inside Llewyn Davis Scene Analysis so if you’re interested in specifics, make sure to check out that blog …

This week we are moving on to video! I really enjoy video editing so I’m excited for this week. We have the choice to work on a large scale project or complete some video assignments. I decided to work on a larger scale project so this is the planning blog …
For this assignment we are tasked with analyzing a scene from a movie and describing how the editing used was successful. I decided to use a scene from the Coen Brother’s movie Inside Llewyn Davis. The Coen Brother’s video I reference can be found here.
Here is my final …
After completing the radio show project, this week was much lighter. It was nice to have a little bit of a breather week to come down from all the work we put into our radio shows!
Speaking of radio shows, this week they were all aired on DS106 radio. I …
This week we were tasked with making our daily creates tell a story. I actually did an extra one before I realized what my story would be, so you can find that one here. And here is my silly little story!
Long ago there was a little fox who …
In the coming weeks, we are moving away from radio and onto video. I really enjoy video editing (even though I haven’t done it too much) so I’m really excited to start thinking about this project! I had a really hard time coming up with ideas though, because I think …
This week all of our radio shows were broadcasted on DS106 Radio! It’s cool to hear something you created on an actual radio station. I loved hearing everyone else’s shows too, everyone did such a great job! I wasn’t able to tune in each day to listen, but I …
The first work I chose to revisit was my writing assignment about how a song makes me feel. I decided to revisit this work now that we’ve worked with audio because I think it would work much better in an audio format since I could splice in parts of …
This week my group and I finished up our radio show! I’m super proud of how it turned out and it was really fun to work together with my group to create our show.
This week we met on Monday and figured out exactly what we were doing. We decide …
