I’ve had a lot of time to think of project ideas for my show, and whether to base it off our 80s theme or what is currently happening in the world.
Personally, I believe I would rather base my final show off the 80s as we don’t know for sure …
This week I was excited to kick it off with listening to the radio shows, as I was eager to listen to my other classmates’ work as I knew how hard we’ve all been working these past two weeks.
I tuned in to hear the live-stream monday and was excited …
What a week. I thought I had it bad weeks before? Nope. This. Is. Crazy. Amidst all the craziness, I was relieved (as crazy as it sounds) to have some normal in my life; completing an assignment for class. Here’s what I created this week:
Daily Creates:
Glad I got …

For this assignment, I generated the quote once and liked it so I just ended up using it. I felt like most quotes like this are either people doing yoga on the beach or nature, so I decided to use nature …
Over Spring break, I was able to interview both my parents on the 80s. However, I had to translate the actual footage as my parents both don’t speak english. Emily was also able to interview her mom over spring break, and when we planned to meet Thursday, is when we …
So relieved we made it to Spring break! But even more relieved and happy to report that my audio assignments were a piece of cake unlike the last time working with audio assignments. I had a lot of fun creating some pieces for the radio show and after gathering thoughts …
Take any two songs (similar or not) and create a mashup/remix!
I had the most fun with this assignment. I found out about this great website from one of my fellow classmates Karsen’s mashup (thanks so much), Rave, and created a cool track that I think would be a …
I had lots of fun making this assignment as I had no idea Air Jordans were first launched in the 80s (blows my mind as they’re still very popular today). With a little research, I created my own script and recorded it using a voice memo. …
As I began thinking about my bumper, I decided to tune in to the local station beat 101.5 to gather some inspiration. I noticed that in almost every verse or statement, they conclude with the phrase “101.5” or with the beat that rhymes with 101.5. …
Create a Logo that is simple but detailed
For this assignment, I had contacted my group and explained what my ideas were for a logo since I knew one of my other classmates had created a poster for our radio show. I decided to use this assignment to base my …
I enjoyed these daily creates as they were not too complicated but did make me think. One of my daily creates even reminded me how close we are to Spring break and Summer!

Overall this was a great week as I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to complete the graphic design assignments as I had never been one well with creativity or executing designs. I must say however, I am pleasantly surprised that I did not have a melt-down when …
For this assignment, I chose to base my movie poster off of the popular 80s movie (and one of my favorites), Pretty in Pink. I tried to keep the poster as simplistic and clean as this is what the assignment prompted as well as capturing some characteristics …
For this assignment I was able to create once again on canva, the free and convenient site that I have now been using to create my posters.
I have always cared for animals and it breaks my heart when they are left homeless or not adopted. Thus, I …
For this assignment, I was inspired to use in my opinion one of my favorite superheroes and her powers, Hermione and her time turner necklace. Her character is brilliant in the story of Harry Potter and I fell in love with the concept of being able to manipulate …
For this assignment, I did not know how to approach it at first as I was not familiar with creating posters or what site to use. Thankfully, due to the tag box below where I could reference to other work, a student had previously completed this assignment which …
For this assignment, I had taken my camera (iPhone X) around with me for the week, which I normally have on me anyways as I am always capturing photos of moments on my phone. I took photos from Monday until Wednesday as I captured photos of what I was seeing …
I was a bit worried this week when I realized we were working with graphic designing, as I am not blessed within this talent or expertise. Nevertheless, I was eager to gain some more insight on this skill as what I may consider my worst nightmare, the content created by …
I enjoyed this week’s daily creates, and although I wasn’t able to create physically what some of the assignments had asked me to, I was able to use digital techniques such as GIFs to describe my daily create assignments.

For this …
Phew! What a week. I must say, out of all the weeks so far, this definitely was the most challenging. Whether it was trying to get the correct file for Audacity, or Soundcloud copyrighting all my work for the thousandth time, it was rough. But on the bright side, We …
For this assignment, I decided to once again use sounds from the vault and used a couple sounds to describe a typical friday for an 80s teen; The birds chirping signify this teen waking up, the car starting showing they’re going to school, the bell meaning school is out, the …
For this assignment, I decided to compare an iconic 80s song by the pop king Micheal Jackson, Beat It, where I took his original version of the song from 1982,
Had to use an audio-pitch version due to copyright.and the version of fall out boy from 2009.
I meshed …
For this assignment, it took me a bit longer than I was expecting as I ran into some trouble regarding the import of my voice memo. It was in the wrong format so I had to convert it into a WAV file to use on Audacity, but nothing a simple …
For this assignment, I used the sound editing program Audacity, which I have been familiar with for quite some time now. Being a dancer, I have to mix, cut and mesh songs together to choreograph routines to it. One of my favorite mashups I created involved a bunch of songs …
I don’t listen to the radio that often (only if there are some sort of concert tickets raffle or if my phone dies and I can’t listen to music), so I didn’t really know what a radio show was when I started brainstorming, but after some research I realized that …
I really enjoyed the tweet-along this past week. I was able to join both Tuesday and Wednesday this week and listened to a couple of episodes of the Escape tv series, which I found was a great source of sound effects and how they virtually create and tell a story. …
I’m a firm believer that a story is not successfully told without sound and music. I can support my claim as the only way I can watch scary movies is with the sound off and subtitles on, as I don’t get afraid if the sound is off and I am …
I had a very busy week to say the least, but nevertheless it was very rewarding to look back at my assignment from this week. I have always loved photography and I am always taking photos every chance I get. However, I feel this semester I haven’t really had the …
