I have been neglecting my Daily Create Posts lately, so here I am trying to catch up on what I’ve missed. Sorry for the delay!   Saturday, March 3: Take a picture of an instrument that measures something. tdc55 My Watch: The “instrument” that I use most often.   Friday, March 2: Stump us. Record a sound of ...

Sunday, February 19: Take a photo that represents your current job, or a job that you once had. Work: I’ve only had three jobs in my life so far and they have all been working in a kitchen. So, much of a day at work for me consists of slicing and chopping. Saturday, February 18: ...

This assignment came to me in a day dream. With the recent spring-like weather I’ve found myself fantasizing about warmer weather. Spring break is coming up, and my fantasies about a tropical vacation are becoming distractingly frequent!! I find myself gazing out the window just thinking about how nice it would be to be in my baithing suit on ...

I just can’t resist one last design assignment! I decided to do the three-star “If Movie Posters Told the Truth” assignment because just this week my sister text me saying that she had just started watching “Bridesmaids” for the first time. She said that she was only into the opening credits and was already dying ...

So class on Thursday was my favorite one yet. I just really loved it! For one thing, I wan’t feeling too positive about my work for the design section, but after seeing a bunch of the awesome work that everyone else in the class was creating, it inspired me to step  it up! Secondly, I ...

I decided to do the “Wait, Where’d That Guy Come From?” three-star assignment because I thought it was silly, and I like silly. I looked at the assignment a couple days ago, but couldn’t think of a good idea. And then today it just came to me. A DS106 vision, if you will. The example ...

Left class tonight feeling very inspired to create some design!! Also, Mr Jim Groom himself helped me figure out (some of) the source of my frustration(s) yesterday! I couldn’t download icons from “The Noun Project” website because they are saved as some weirdo SVG file, and I don’t know what to do with that. But ...

I am happy to say that yesterday’s frustrations with technology have not spilled over into today! I had class for much of the day and was feeling very hesitant to get back to my room and work on some design assignments because of all the bad vibes I was feeling yesterday. But, today Aviary and ...

Just kidding. That was an overstatement. The first assignment I actually completed earlier today (before work) but didn’t have time to blog ‘em up. After getting back from work, I completed this next assignment. So don’t be fooled by the time warp that seems to have occurred here. This is the “Little Caption” assignment, which also happens ...

This is my first design assignment. Be easy on me, please. I was feeling very overwhelmed with GIMP and got annoyed and frustrated, so I decided to give it a little rest and move on to something else for a bit. I found this assignment and thought it would be perfect for taking a little ...

I forgot to post a few of my back logged Daily Creates. So here they are! Friday, February 10: Take a picture of confusion. Get Off My Case Internet Explorer!!: Solution: Google Chrome! Yippy!!   Saturday, February 11: Take a photo that emphasizes the detail of the human hand. Matthew’s Mits: Applying maple icing to his ...

I’ve met my visual assignment star quota and I’m cutting myself off! Done! I keep trying to do other things (such as have a social life or do work for other subjects), and then all of a sudden I realize that I’m back on my computer cropping and whatnot. Thanks DS106!! This time I did ...

I’m not certain what the difference is between these two tubers, but I just wanted to make sure I had all my bases covered. I prefer to say sweet potato though (my Rhode Island accent makes yam painful to say.) This assignment is just as ridiculous, if not more, than the last two. However, unlike the ...

I’m getting all my cat work done and blogged about in one night. They will never be mentioned again on my blog. This is a promise both to you and myself. For this I simply found a super delicious display of French Toast (or Freedom Toast for those of you who wish to be politically ...

I HATE CATS!!!! I really hate them. A lot. I hate how they have claws and hide under furniture and jump out and attack your ankles. I hate when cats walk on counter tops or climb onto high cabinets or the top of the fridge and watch you from across the room with their little judgement eyes. I hate that they go to ...

To be perfectly honest, this was frustrating. But I was determined to finish what I started and I do actually like the way it came out. This was the original photo.   And here is my final product.   I had a couple failed attempts using online photo editing. Failed attempt number one was Photoshop ...

When I saw this assignment prompt I immediately thought of one of my bestest friends from back home, Alex. I’ve known her for about 5ish years and we have silly adventures (which usually include visiting some underappreciated outdoor location and enjoying a deliciously bad-for-you food item) together at regular intervals while I’m home. We met ...

Today’s prompt: Make a photo that represents something that you aspire to be or do one day.   This prompt couldn’t be better timed. Recently I have realized that I’m not as good a listener as I perceived myself to be. This is very upsetting! I always thought that I was somewhat gifted at helping ...

Today’s prompt: Create a photograph that represents the happiest or most memorable moment in your life. Meet my family!!! I’ve been missing them a whole lot lately. This picture was taken along the ridge of Crate Lake, in Oregon. Two summers ago, my sister Hilary was living out there, so we all decided to go out and visit her and ...

Today’s prompt: Share an image of a place that you lose things in your house. (I almost forgot to post it! Woopsies!)

Here comes my first visual assignment people! DS106 is about to get real!!! Brace yourself!   So I just had class where we got to listen to Professor Alan Levine give us a brief run-down on how to make our photography better. I love taking pictures, but I realize that I am not very good ...

Today’s prompt: Make a photo pf something upside down that is never seen that way.
