    Unit 6 Summary

    by
    Overall, I really enjoyed unit 6 of DS106 as I feel I thrived in particular tasks due to my passion for Art and Design. Together with unit 5, I feel they have definitely been the most enjoyable segments of DS106. Not only due to the content, but fundamentally the growth in knowledge and understanding of digital […]

    Unit 4 : Ira Glass on Storytelling

    by
    I watched parts 1 and 2 of Ira Glass on Storytelling to learn about his concept of oral storytelling. He described the strategy behind a good story, which consisted of what he referred to as ‘building blocks’. The first block is the anecdote, which is what creates the sequence of actions. It is the story in […]

    Unit 6 : Re-designing Posters

    by
    This assignment involved re-editing existing content to change meaning orvisually represent an idea.To create these tasks, I used Photoshop to edit existing images. I particularly enjoyed the ‘DS106 Propaganda Posters’ task as I found changing the media of Propaganda within WW1 to propaganda for DS106 very interestingly challenging and enjoyable.

    Unit 3 Summary

    by
    Up to now, this has been my favourite unit of the DS106 course, and I feel that if every unit is as enjoyable as this one, then I should have no problem with progressing through this course with an enjoyable attitude. I think I approached this unit with a completely different attitude from the previous […]

    Five Card Flickr Stories

    by
    I decided to challenge myself and instead of creating my own 5 picture story, I have used the ‘general pool of photos’ option which randomly generates pictures, and then I have to tell the ‘story’. The screenshot above shows what the pool generated for me. So here it goes… _______________________________________________________ A tear rolls itself into her eye, […]

    Summarise a Movie in Two Panels

    by
    I really enjoyed doing this task as I really enjoy watching films and found that this method is a really effective way of conveying the most crucial parts of a film. I chose to use the film ‘Limitless’ for this task. One thing I have discovered from a handful of tasks, is that DS106 do not actually tell […]

    The Shape of Stories

    by
    I actually really enjoyed analysing Kurt Vonnegut’s overview of the shape of stories, as it opened my mind to an entirely new theory of telling a story. In addition, I did see a lot of sense from it, and it helped me a lot with applying this concept to the following task. The next task was to […]

    Unit 2 Summary

    by
    I found Unit 2 a little more challenging than Bootcamp as it required a lot more from me. Firstly, we were asked to customize our blogs. I read the different suggestive points in the section to spark some inspiration, and with that, I changed the theme of my blog to a, still pretty standard theme […]

    Unit 6 : Design Assignments

    by
    Similarly to unit 5, the first formal assignment was to explore the assignment bank further. For this assignment, I decided to not use the generator to randomly select tasks for me, and actually pick ones that I feel that would be most interesting to me. I found that there was a lot more variety of […]

    Unit 5 Summary

    by
    This unit has definitely been my preferred one out of the whole of DS106 so far. It definitely challenged me, as I noticed that this unit was the most time consuming out of the 5 units; especially due to the assignment bank. Nonetheless, because I thoroughly enjoyed each task of unit 5, it didn’t feel […]

    Unit 5 : Visual Assignment Bank

    by
    I found this task really enjoyable as it reminded me a lot of the Daily Create. I tried to challenge myself by using the device that randomly generates visual assignments for you. This made the task more interesting as I was given a point blank task and had to create my response to it. I […]

    Unit 5 : Photoblitzing

    by
    Photoblitzing was quite an enjoyable task as it reminded me a lot of the Daily Create, in that it involved having to create something spontaneous in a short period of time. The task entailed having to take as many photos from the list as possible in 15 minutes. I gave it my best but unfortunately, […]

    Unit 2 – ‘Say it like Peanut Butter’

    by
    This GIF is made from the film ‘Vanilla Sky’. If you ask me what is my favourite film, I find it so hard to come up with just one. So I thought I’d make a GIF of my most recently watched favourite film. I watched this film in late August this year, and absolutely loved […]

    Unit 1 – What is Art?

    by
    For this unit, we were asked to watch and provide our outlooks on various YouTube videos regarding the subject matter ‘Art’. The first video I watched – I surprisingly enjoyed. The video takes the form of a traditional, lecture-based presentation depicting a particularly interesting outlook on Art. The lecturer; Bostein, explains how ‘Art transforms the […]
