For this week’s DS106 Assignment Bank assignment, I chose to create a Wanted Poster in the style of the Wild, Wild, West. My chosen story theme is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Each MBTI type has their own strengths and weaknesses. I chose the Robinhood (ESTP) character because he is a thief, but with good intentions. A classic ESTP, Robinhood is…

  This week’s assignment was to use a site like http://www.wordle.net/create or similar to create a word cloud. The chosen text should be meaningful to me, so I used my chosen storytelling theme – the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). More specifically, the characteristics of an ESFP. I was to choose a font and color scheme that reflects the emotion behind my choice…

This week’s mashup assignment was to take elements from multiple movie posters and mash them up into one. Change anything – the caption, the title, the main image, etc. Also, make it seem like it could be a real movie. Each year, there is one week that I dread more than any other – Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.…

The design assignment I chose was to design my very own t-shirt. I was to find a blank t-shirt template, then add a picture or some text. It could be a joke, a pop culture reference, a movie quote, or anything else of my choosing. I chose this assignment because I love t-shirts that have all-to-true statements on them. To…

This week’s assignment from the Assignment Bank was to create a video of someone signing (finger spelling) a word for others to guess. I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could figure out the word I chose to spell. To create this video, I used an iPhone 6 to record the video and edited it with iMovie.…

My Assignment Bank audio assignment was to make an audio of me talking to the police over the phone. I wanted to do this assignment because this is a reinactment of a real call that was made to the police not too long ago. I created this recording in GarageBand. I had my father play the part of the police officer and…

For this critique, I used Jason Ohler’s assessment traits. I focused three traits: Story Project planning Originality, voice, creativity I evaluated the story and the writing of the story. How well did the story work? Is it is complete and understandable? I looked at the level of project planning. Is there evidence of solid planning – story maps, scripts, storyboards? Finally, I focused on…

Everyone has a bucket list, or they should. I would share my entire list with you, but for the moment, here are my top four. Have a proper English Tea at the London Ritz. Whenever I travel, either for work or pleasure, I try to go to tea at least once. If there is a Ritz in town, that is…

My first Daily Create for ds106 is a collage of things that make me happy. I was extatic to discover that you can now add Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life to your Netflix list and it will show up when it becomes available. I can hardly wait! I feel a Gilmore Girls marathon coming on! I recently had…
