    Spilling the Tea on Body Shaming (DGST 395)

    by

    How it all started:
    First we began by finding an area we both had an interest in which was exploring and promoting body positivity online. As this project required an element of coding we were unsure how to start originally. Eventually, Mary came up with the idea of programming a …

    Say Anything but Without the Trespassing

    by

    For my final project, I am putting a modern spin on one of my favorite scenes in 80’s cinematic history. While I love the iconic boombox scene in “Say Anything” it is admittedly dated and a little trespass-ey So I have recreated the scene and brought it up to the …

    Haiku About You

    by

    Technically, I already did this assignment but it was on January 31st so I thought in addition to remixing the prompt I would also try my hand at my second haiku poem in roughly 22 years The orginial writing prompt was pretty simple, write a haiku about yourself. By definition …

    You In Collage Form but Remixed

    by

    I’m pretty sure I did this assignment originally but according to my Control Panel I have 54 posts and I don’t think I have the energy to go through them all to check. So the original assignment prompted the blogger to create a collage that represents them self using words …

    Mashup Friends and Emojis

    by

    I actually laughed out loud when I saw this prompt and knew right away what I wanted to do. My friend Ash does the most amazing impression of the “what the hell” emoji. You know, the eyes bugged out, rosy cheek, expressionless mouth emoji. When we are out and someone …

    Oh, to be me – Mashup

    by

    I decided to do a 5 star mashup with two of my previous assignments. I began by revisiting my audio-assignments until I found one I thought would fit the best with a visual-assignment. I decided it would be best to use an audio-assignment with minimal dialog- this left me with …

    Week 11 Summary

    This week we did more visual assignments and I continued with last weeks work of doing 10 stars worth of assignment bank assignments. The difference this week was that they needed to be edited to tell a story not just raw footage. We were also allowed to design our own …

    Sardonic Tour

    by

    To wrap up my 10 stars worth of Video Assignments I decided to have some fun with the “Sardonic Tour” assignment. Due to being quarantined I thought it would be funny to do it MTV “Cribs” style. I’m older so if you haven’t seen an episode you can find one …

    Stop Motion Video

    by

    One of my favorite childhood memories was when my dad would surprise my brother and I with homemade stop motion videos that he had made when we were sleeping. For me it was interviews with my Barbie’s and my brother got stop motion dinosaur movies. I now have a deep …

    Mini-Documentary

    Admittedly, I cheated a little here but for good reason! I made this documentary a few semesters ago when I took Jesse Stommel’s Digital Documentary course. Frankly, I worked my ass off on it an I am very proud of the final work so I thought I would share it …

    Project Reworks

    Project Ideas

    by

    One of my favorite things to do is watch movies or T.V. shows from decades gone by and assess how they would be different if they had modern day technology. For example, a number of years ago I was watching Stephen King’s Cujo at Halloween when my 9 year old …

    Daily Create Story

    Alright, this week we were asked to complete 3 Daily Create’s on Twitter and find a way to connect them  into a cohesive story. I tried to be selective about which DC’s I did but that was difficult given the fact that this virus has turned my life upside down, …

    Coronavirus, Cancellations and Radio shows. What a week this has been.

    Radio Show Logo

    by

    Without giving too much away I will be focusing on exploring the show Stranger Things for my segment of our radio show so rather than make a poster or bumper sticker laden with copy right infringement I decided to create a simple logo for our radio show.

    Create A Place

    by

    This assignment was just for me (no dual purpose here). I just really like the beach and I wanted to play with Audacity a little more and see if I could use sounds I found on freesound.org and create my version of heaven. To create this minute long clip I …

    80’s Product Commercial

We need to find four of the ten concepts (color, typography, metaphors/symbols, minimalism & use of space, form/function/message, balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance, and unity). I decided the best way to …
