For this week I had to do 3 separate daily creates. @JimGroom said we could argue our daily creates if we ended up spending a lot of time on them… This week was not relatively time consuming so I wont try and debate my argument for all 10 stars for them. Lol, anyways, here they […]

For my last daily create of the week, I had to take a photo of a unique #Heelconcept by elevating your foot on an everyday object as a heel. I thought this turned out kinda ironic… foot inside a shoebox hah. I don’t think I have to explain the process in this one… Pretty straight forward.

For this Daily create, I had to make (or modify) an image to make it suitable for an action film poster using primarily teal blue and orange hues. This was photo was take nearly 4 years ago and it is absolutely ridiculous. I used photoshop and started with a blue and orange checkered background. I […]

For today’s Daily Create, I have to post a video to YouTube showing 5 things that brings joy to my life. 1. My Dog, Bert. He is an 8 year old chihuahua and he is incredible. Not yappy and is totally chill. Also, he is quite the ladies man. 2. My 2006 Mustang GT. This […]

Audio Assignment – Dramatic Reading Remix For this audio assignment, I had to (dramatically) read the lyrics of one song and then add the music of another completely random song to create an abstract musical remix. The following content is explicit due to strong language. I immediately knew what song I wanted to read for […]

Audio Assignment – Cheesy Radio Ad For Your School If you had one guess what I had to create for this audio assignment, I bet you’ll guess right. To create this cheesy radio ad I opened up ole’ faithful, Audacity. I began by gathering some thoughts on what I wanted to bring up. I decided […]

Its that time of the week again folks. The time when I gather up all of the work I have done over the week and put it in one neat, organized blog post. This week covered design which is a concept that is unique to everyone. Everyone has opinions on what looks good and what […]

I watched the Coen Brother’s The Big Lebowski (1998) and I thought it was a great movie! I decided to treat myself lol by paying the $2.99 and rent the movie from Amazon and I’m happy I did. This is considered a film noir and according to Encyclopædia Britannica, “Film noir, ( French: “dark film”) is a style of […]

I started reading a short booklet by Massimo Vignelli called The Vignelli Canon, and the first thing I did after reading the introduction was learn the actual definition of typography. According to Wikipedia, typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language readable and beautiful. I then looked back at the reading and instantly appreciated […]

So… My impression of the Copyright law, fair use doctrine, and the Creative Commons movement? I need to give you my opinion on them without just summarizing the three and comparing and contrasting. I think the copy right law needs to have a more defined definition and less case by case decisions. I would bet that […]

For this design assignment, I had to create a motivational poster. These posters are very common online and in office rooms above desks. Its just a picture  inside a black frame with a bold word or statement, followed by a sentence to motivate you relating to that bold word above. Its a simple concept with […]

… I don’t tell my wife.” ^^^Totally just kidding Jim. But seriously, the day has finally come… Where a professor uses his powers for evil and makes their students create magnificent pieces of art reflecting the professor. For the design assignment, Professor Groom Poster, we’re making basically “a Jim Groom movie/TV show” poster. I had […]

One Story, Four Icons For this design assignment, we had to tell a story using only four icons. Can you guess what it is? I will post a link to what the story is in my next weekly summary blog post. This assignment was recommended as it is a favorite in the ds106 community. I […]

Another week in the record books and Thejota.com is continuing to grow. This week focused on the audio aspect of storytelling and noir which is now well known to be a crucial aspect of any storytelling piece.
