Final Project Tutorials
by @jacobhilker1 June 21, 2019For my first assignment, a visual assignment, I started by making a sample character in this character creator (note: requires Java). I used Artur’s hair which I modified in app to be more blonde, Chad’s armor which I modified to be green instead of the blue which is default, …

Alright Alright Alright
by @jacobhilker1 June 16, 2019For my second assignment this week, I choose to do a four star assignment for recording a play-by-play, however, I have lost a lot of interest in sports generally over time, so I decided to do a play by play of the overtime round from one of the games …

Rocket Design in a Nutshell
by @jacobhilker1 June 16, 2019For my first assignment this week, I did the five-star assignment called “How-To Tutorial”. While I don’t feel like this lends itself to a story particularly well, I feel like helping someone new to something is the right thing to do if you have the particular skills for that thing, …

Look. Listen. Analyze.
by @jacobhilker1 June 16, 2019After reading Roger Ebert’s guide to reading movies, we had to analyze a classic movie scene. Given that a lot of the scenes for me were from movies that I had never heard (except for a few, such as Rocky, Apocalypse Now, and The Dark Knight), I decided to …

A Stormy, Quaint Village
by @jacobhilker1 June 9, 2019Listen to the StormsFor my final assignment, worth 4 stars, we had to create a place using only sounds. Normally I would have used freesound.org but since I had used a different site, Tabletop Audio, before, I elected to use that, since their sound effects are very high …

“No Noise At All – Survival.”
by @jacobhilker1 June 9, 2019The quote above was part of a joke done by Michael Rosen, but it felt fitting for my second assignment worth 4 stars, where we had to remix a song without using any original sounds. Like I said in my first assignment, I’ve always enjoyed the music from …

Fight!
by @jacobhilker1 June 9, 2019I have always enjoyed the music from games, and when I first listened to Guile’s Theme I knew that I wanted to remix it, so I did, for my first 4-star assignment this week. I started with a MIDI file, and once I had started trying to actually make it …

A Moon Shot
by @jacobhilker1 June 9, 2019For this assignment worth 3.5 stars, we had to create a story of 90 seconds or less.

Thoughts on Audio Storytelling
by @jacobhilker1 June 9, 2019I would agree that when Ira Glass says that writing isn’t like what you’ve been taught in highschool. Even if I had never taken a broadcasting or writing class in high school, I still understand that a paper or story isn’t going to necessarily start with any one particular topic …

Above And Beyond
by @jacobhilker1 June 3, 2019For my first assignment, worth 3 stars, we had to create our own logo for a company. I decided to work some on my sci-fi setting Fallen Heavens and made the logo for Heyfield Aerospace Industries, also known as Heyfield Industries, the first company to develop an air craft …

Thoughts On Canon
by @jacobhilker1 June 2, 2019I feel like the Vignelli Canon was poorly organized, from a reader’s standpoint. As someone interested in design and who has dabbled in design, I didn’t exactly agree with all of what he said, especially when he wrote, “Design without discipline is anarchy” and “Without discipline, design is automatically horrible.” …

Fallen Heavens
by @jacobhilker1 June 2, 2019The Battle of Luna had just begun, and the mercenaries and elite troops of the DLA had started their assault on the Mare Smythii, Interceptors and LRAVs leading the Kidal pilots above while heavy artillery pounded from the lunar vehicles. The War had just begun. Even the North Koreans had …

Design Blitz
by @jacobhilker1 June 2, 2019For this assignment, we had to take several photos that we felt represented four of the concepts of design that were discussed on the sight, and in order, I decided to use my photos to discuss minimalism and typography, contrast, color, and finally dominance, with the moon-like planet and the …

My Thoughts on a Photo Safari
by @jacobhilker1 May 26, 2019I feel like the assignment was fun, but I also feel like fifteen minutes is by far not enough time to get all the photos I needed – when already I want my photos to turn out well, and then to get that many photos for such a large list …

A Photo Safari
by @jacobhilker1 May 26, 2019For this assignment, we had a fifteen-minute window to take as many photos as possible which we thought would apply to a list of certain topics or ideas. Some of the topics seemed vague to me, which didn’t exactly help since those topics could be interpreted differently by different people. …
-
Spubble
by @jacobhilker1 May 26, 2019For this 2 star assignment, we had to create a Spubble, which is one photo but with a caption or thought bubble that represents something completely different from what the image suggests. I decided to have a serious face on for when I am focusing on something, yet my …

Drop ‘Em In The Bank
by @jacobhilker1 May 26, 2019For my second visual assignment (worth 3.5 stars), I decided to make a fictional camp based on the game mode Gambit in Destiny 2, which came with the Forsaken expansion. I decided to go with this because it seems any time I load into a game of Gambit by myself, …

With Pen and Sword
by @jacobhilker1 May 26, 2019For this three-star assignment, we were supposed to go to jointherealm.com and make our own coat of arms and house words for a fictional noble house, like from A Song of Ice and Fire, better known as Game of Thrones. However, I have designed heraldry on my own for …

2 years ago the Person Of The Year from @TIME was "The Silence Breakers", the people who started the metoo movement and exposed how common it was. Even though I've had nothing like this happen, exposing this issue was incredibly important. #tdc2688 #ds106— Jacob Hilker (@jacobhilker1) May 22, …

Midweek 1 Summary
by @jacobhilker1 May 22, 2019Setting up the social media was very easy, though I am not very active on Twitter, so learning that will be somewhat difficult (especially considering a tweet can’t be edited.) Setting up the domain very easy, though I am still learning WordPress so using the blog was more difficult. My …
