Weve created… Read More The Final Week… 14 -
here’s some advice
The beginning of this class was definitely overwhelming. For one, this was my first go at an online course. Understanding the necessary requirements, and needed accounts via many readings is what began the worries. But during the course of understanding the structure and how to complete a weeks worth of assignments, I began to appreciate… Read More here’s some advice -
final crisis // distress signal is back
For this project, I decided a group project would be an efficient way to end the semester. Although I have so many other projects to worry about, I think that splitting up the work with a group will benefit us all. I chose to reach out to the Distress Signal crew and they were all… Read More final crisis // distress signal is back -

Tutorial on “Music Switching, Live Vs Studio”
by @girlycurlyfries November 16, 2017I hope this video comes in handy for future #ds106 adventurers! This is a fairly simple way to participate in this assignment and especially fun if you’re a concert goer and have some live footage handy! -
live vs. studio (kali uchis edition)
by @girlycurlyfries November 15, 2017For this assignment we were asked to combine a live version and a studio recorded version of one song. I took this opportunity to use the footage I got when I went to a Kali Uchis concert a few weeks ago. I also previously edited the live version in my free time to attempt to… Read More live vs. studio (kali uchis edition) -
photo through a different lens (part two)
by @girlycurlyfries November 14, 2017So I created this gif (if it doesn’t play, click it and then it definitely should!). One of the options for remixing an assignment is to “Bootcamp it,” which basically means make it trickier. I decided to use a past web assignment called Photo Through Different Lenses, which consisted of collecting images of the same… Read More photo through a different lens (part two) -
Holidaze Mashup ft. a ‘Stache
by @girlycurlyfries November 14, 2017This assignment was called Holiday Mashup and it consisted of combining some of your favorite holiday’s to make one piece. It was definitely not cohesive besides the fact they’re all holiday’s. I decided to combine things that symbolize Christmas, Birthdays, and Valentines Day. I have a lot of favorite holiday’s so narrowing it down was… Read More Holidaze Mashup ft. a ‘Stache -
Ramsay is ready for his close up
by @girlycurlyfries November 14, 2017So I guess this obsession with Gordon Ramsay is continuing throughout each couple weeks.. because here he is again, in what I would believe to be a nightmare for him. Here Gordon Ramsay is shown stuck in a field of flowers. It seems as if he is calling for help because he doesn’t like this… Read More Ramsay is ready for his close up -

Narrative Ambiance
by @girlycurlyfries November 10, 2017In order to produce this video, I used Premiere which gave me the opportunity to add music along with my voiceover of the poem called Roads We Travel by Marilyn Lott. I’m not familiar with her other work or sure if she has any other work but I found this poem online and really like… Read More Narrative Ambiance -
the final crisis
Our superhero and super villain identities have been used to fight not only crimes but for our grades. It’s been an adventure using them as a creative outlet of inspiration to fuel some of our assignments. Now that the semester is slowly coming to an end, there is a need for an ultimate goal of… Read More the final crisis -
video week 10
If every week was video related I would not be bothered. This form of media is one that I really enjoy manipulating and gaining more skills about so I can apply them to other endeavors related to editing. When I first started editing, it was very intimidating and at my summer internship. They gave me… Read More video week 10 -
Yoshiiiiiiii
by @girlycurlyfries November 3, 2017This is my last assignment for this week and I had a lot of fun making it! I’ve made a Gordon Ramsay creation previously for this class and I thought why not continue that since he’s a person I not only look up to but laugh with. There are a lot of videos of things… Read More Yoshiiiiiiii -
Life HACK
by @girlycurlyfries November 2, 2017For this assignment I first researched some interesting hacks that I found online. I wanted to try something that I’ve never done or heard of before but also be able to utilize the resources I already have. That’s what so great about this hack is that most people have these things readily available! I edited… Read More Life HACK -

by @girlycurlyfries November 2, 2017For this assignment we were asked to create a short video that demonstrates you creating art. One of my favorite pastimes is to create scrapbook pages and collages. There something about have so much control that makes me love making them. I have a scrapbook that I don’t regularly add to so I thought this… Read More A few seconds of art -

I’m really excited about this week for a number of reasons. My main reason is because I love creating video content. There’s something about editing that I really enjoy so I was really eager to get started with these interesting assignments. We were asked to watch and read about what exactly it means to read… Read More Video Essay -
week 9!!
Week 9 has been all about Broadcasting and Web Storytelling. You may be wondering, what is web storytelling? Well, from my understanding it is the creation of a piece made through manipulating or recreating a live piece of work into a different entity. For example, using “X-RAY Goggles” to change the web layout of a… Read More week 9!! -

by @girlycurlyfries October 28, 2017These photos showcase the man spaces in which my headphones live.

In away these photos tell a story of the day in… Read More photo through different lenses -

kumu konnection
by @girlycurlyfries October 26, 2017MUSIC COLLABZ For this map, you’re looking at the many connections within artists not even necessarily connected by genre. Many of these artists overlap in the music they create and have made connections over time by maturing as artists, learning different and unique styles. I have a strong obsession with music so making this was… Read More kumu konnection -
canvas catering to me
by @girlycurlyfries October 26, 2017So far I’m really enjoying these web assignments! It’s pretty neat to be able to manipulate something that you might not be capable of otherwise. I love that so many people used the idea of manipulating Amazon by catering to their interests like Morph Shadow’s costume, or the resume our professor mentioned. I decided to… Read More canvas catering to me -
QUICK DRAW
by @girlycurlyfries October 26, 2017For this assignment, we were asked to create drawings according to what word we’re given. What is crazy is that you’re basically playing Pictionary with the computer! This was so fun that I did it twice. In the picture shown above, this was my second attempt, and they could recognized all of them for the… Read More QUICK DRAW -

As a group (Ashleigh, Jordan, and Ana), we decided on a very typical radio show… but with a twist. It will be based off of a world in which superheros are known of, talked about, and broadcasted about on the radio. Our show will have news and updates, interactive games with the hosts, a possibility… Read More our show: Distress Signal -
distress signal outro
by @girlycurlyfries October 13, 2017From using the bumper assignment out of the assignment bank, I created an outro for our Distress Signal radio show. I first found a free song online that felt very superhero like. It’s entitled epic, how we depict our show to be. I coordinated with my group member, Ashleigh to agree on this “theme” song.… Read More distress signal outro -
