Interactive Shower I did this daily create over fall break and I had more options at my disposal around my home than in my dorm. I basically came up with this while I was brushing my teeth and I saw the shower in a perfect position to create a drawing of a stick figure taking […]

Since I was born in the month of February, I had the task of doing sound effects from 31 seconds into the video to the one minute mark. There wasn’t really much happening in this segment, but I tried my best to create the sounds from what I saw in the video. I could identify […]

Here is my commercial for my groups radio, Picante Radio. Since our format is broad for a wide open discussion, I decided the song that would run in the background will the be Mario Theme Song, and surprisingly, it worked out pretty well with my small spiel. I used a youtube to .wav converter once […]

For today’s daily create, we had to create a miniature based on what was outside our window. I downloaded an app called “Picsart” on my iPhone and it allowed me to add some cool clip arts on the image I took that was outside my window. I apologize for the meshing getting in the way […]

As part of the assignment, each of us had to create a radio bumper, where a final two will be selected to be used in the radio show. After doing previous assignments using Audacity, the bumper was pretty simple to create in fact. The only tough part was what instrumental I could use that I […]

Original Assignment (3 stars) I am a huge fan of Linkin Park and there are a bunch of other great songs by them but these five are just personal favorites of mine. Here are the songs in order of how I set it up, followed by the album from which the song came from: Bleed […]

  I apologize for how poor the audio is, I tried to fix it but I don’t know what the problem is so I hope you guys can understand the song well enough to guess what it is! Here are the three hints: Today is the artist’s 42nd birthday (October 17th, 1972). It was featured […]

Let’s just say that things didn’t end very well for Carl. The alpha male tiger, Tuco, had his sets sight on Carl for a very long time. What was Carl’s fate? Read about it here!

(I had meant to post this on the day this was assigned but I forgot, so here it is!) This day was very special because simply my parents had bought me Popeyes for me and my roommate while on my way back down to UMW at the conclusion of fall break. Popeyes is one of […]

We’ve decided as a group that each of us will talk based on the topic of “Where were you when…?” on our radio show. This was Daniel’s idea, and I thought it was a pretty cool idea because of the broadness of the topic, leaving for many possibilities of a topic and discussion. We also […]

Ever since coming home for fall break, I have accomplished pretty much nothing other than some small studying for a exam next week, and stuff for this class as usual. For the daily create today, I have compiled a buzzfeed listicle according to what I’ve done today and what I plan to do throughout the […]

I forgot to post this earlier, but I uploaded the pic on flickr on this exact did this was assigned. Here’s a seemingly cute guinea pig going on a rampage in a small town. Enjoy!

For this daily create, I basically doodled a stick figure taking a shower with the actual water coming out of the showerhead itself from the background (the water is pretty difficult to see, but it’s visible if you look closely).

Daily Creates: The Pirates Have Landed Glass and Water Movement Empathy Map Feelings I simply came up with a story of Pirates raiding an Office Depot (out of all places) to simply steal all their paperclips (out of all things right?). Perhaps they have some reason for it, but my guess is that they just […]

Original Assignment (3.5 Stars) I had obtained this photo through a trailer for season six of Burn Notice, which was the second to last season of one of my favorite TV series. I started watching Burn Notice ever since the first season, and I loved the suspense, action, and comical value it had in each episode. […]

This particular assignment had me go out and see what particular kinds of pictures under a certain category I could take while doing my routine things. I was able to use what I learned last week about photography skills and techniques and attempted to implement those while taking the photos I took. The photos I […]

After spending most of yesterday at Oktoberfest and other festivities with my friends, I woke up this morning having no motivation to do anything whatsoever, and just wanted to stay in my bed all day and watch some football, and not to mention a mild hangover, which was a nuisance. However, that would be only […]

Original Assignment (3.5 Stars) For this assignment, I decided to do a pretty impossible, but awesome idea of merging Microsoft AND Sony. These two companies are the top dogs of entertainment and electronic media, most notably for their Xbox and Playstation gaming consoles, respectively for Microsoft and Sony. I used google drawings for this simple […]

Original Assignment (3 Stars)   I noticed this assignment right away when I was browsing through the long list of possible design assignments I could do, and I remembered right away I had an old photo of some of my friends from high school during homecoming. It was a bit embarrassing looking back on this […]

Original Assignment (3 Stars) This assignment was pretty difficult for me because I am not that all familiar with photo editing software, but this was fun at the same time for me. I simple googled “World War II Propaganda Posters” and I noticed the iconic Uncle Sam poster right away and I decided to use […]

Assignment Link (2.5 Stars) Guess the movie based from the four above icons! When I saw this assignment, I got really excited to see what movie I could represent through four icons but as soon as I picked the movie I wanted, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I chose […]

Hey guys! Here is my empathy map about this class along with things going on with during the semester. Hope you guys can relate!

....at Office Depot and demanded that the employees hand over every last paperclip they have stocked. Soon after, they created the largest paperclip anchor possible and had some leftover to create some bling for themselves to make them look more intimidating. I meant to post this a few days ago but I forgot too and […]

Comments on group member’s blogs: Thomas’ Blog: Comment One Comment Two Ryan’s Blog: Comment One Comment Two Cooper’s Blog: Comment One Comment Two Daniel’s Blog: Comment One Comment Two Whew, what a week and I say that with other things in life involved as well combined with the DS106 lifestyle. Hard to imagine it’s already […]

So while brushing my teeth earlier today, I noticed that there was bucket with a nozzle sticking out of it in our bathroom. I proceeded to take a picture of it because I thought of some clever and funny ways to interpret the bucket based on our assignment, Aphenia. The application I used to edit these […]

This assignment was pretty simple, other than the minor difficulty of finding a proper application to use for this color splash. I ended up finding an app on my iPhone with a similar name, but it was called Color Effects. I chose to use a Stop Sign as my picture, because of the simplicity and […]

For our visual assignments this week, I chose the album cover one (3 stars) to contribute towards my 8 star requirement. Following the given three steps, I obtained these random elements that contributed to my creation of my album cover: 1) Band Name 2) Title of Album: “Someone who has offended them” 3) Album Art […]

Hey guys! For today’s daily create, I basically had to create something using some string. This is what I created, a not so perfect replica of Godzilla, the king of monsters. Hope you guys like it!

We were given ten tips this week as a basis for our photography learning process, and how we could incorporate those tips into our present and possibly future assignments. The tips were given to us by a relatively cheap eBook from David duChemin called TEN: Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft. None of Them Involve Buying […]
