This week I met with a young lady named Jill to discuss what she knew about Jack. She was incredibly helpful and with the help of her clues I was able to finally meet with Jack. I recorded our conversation to share with Bond to finally uncover what had happened. Upon reflection, I decided to […]

On Sunday night, I met with Jill. She was an interesting character to say the least. I can’t reveal too much about her right now however to protect her identity. She met with me for coffee and explained they key thing I needed: where to find Jack. I began my search to find Jack’s home. […]

This week I focused on working on my case. I was assigned “You don’t know Jack.” This case is focused around helping Bond find out who this mysterious Jack character is. I initially started out the week a little late due to personal conflicts. When I did get started I put out a poster asking for […]

Just this evening, a strange young woman named Jill made contact with me. She claimed to have some information on this Jack fellow. However, for protection of her she’s asked to meet in private. I plan to meet with her later this evening to find out all I can. Hopefully, I will be able to […]

This week, I registered the Aconitum.Napellus for some sort of case. I figured it would be a good way to get the word out and build up my portfolio further. Soon after, I got a response from Martha Burtis. She said Bond was interested in getting further information about Jack. It’s been a long week already. […]

This week felt almost like a reset. I began work to set up a brand new webpage for my agency. The webpage with all required (and some bonus pages) can be found here. I completed 10.5 stars worth of assignments. I did 6 stars of web assignments (My Resume for 3 stars and How It […]

I also made time to create a logo from Aconitum.Napellus this week. I drew inspiration from a ds106 design assignment, The Ultimate Merger (which is rated at 4.5 stars). I chose to use Fisher Scientific’s logo set up, seen below:   I mimicked the fonts and colors to create my own logo for Aconitum.Napellus. All work […]

The real inspiration for my agency came from the trip I took with Eden Waz. I decided this was a key point to and deserved a page on my agency’s webpage. I also saw that this fit with an a web assignment, How It All Began, which is rated at 3 stars. I could go […]

I decided to add my resume to my webpage. It can be found under the staff page. I drew inspiration to upload my resume from the ds106 web assignment: character resume (which is rated at 3 stars). The resume is really rather self-explanatory. It describes my previous work and education experience. I’ve mostly worked in […]

This week I began to set up my agency’s presence on the internet. So far, I have created a homepage, a staffpage, a page to contact us, a page containing my portfolio, a page for my blog, a page outlining our mission statement, and a page describing how the agency began. Visit the page here. […]

This week was crazy, I flew in from Denver from a Chemistry conference on Thursday. I’ve been jet lagged and confused but have managed to get my work done! I did 3 video assignments totaling 14.5 stars. I did the conversation with myself, the special person montage, and the 30 second documentary.I also completed the […]

Everyone has their own little voice in their head that motivates them or un-motivates them. It’s why some people are more productive than others. This is what a typical day at work in my head sounds like. I have to keep pushing forward. And more importantly remember why. The voice in my head that motivates […]

This week, I met a curious man. I believe he’s July’s professor for this online class she has going on. He had a lot of questions. Initially it reminded me of kindergarten cop. But I answered all his questions and got this interview knocked out. I used iMovie to stream his questions and my responses […]

I’ve been thinking over working in a group or going solo. I’ve been a little behind this week since the conference in Denver took up most my time. by personality, I prefer to work solo but the radio shows did go really well and I was really pleased with what my group was able to […]

I’m a very busy person so I figured a quick and informative documentary would benefit many people. I commonly see this mistake being made in the lab. I hope this will help fix the problem. I used materials from previously made YouTube videos and then did some editing to catch people’s eye.

This week, I took sometime to reflect on the special people in my life. I decided to take these memories and make a montage of them using iMovie. I couldn’t find pictures of me per say… But I found images of young girls who’s emotions reflect mine. The people who are important to me have […]

First off I finished off the radio show requirements. I submitted my last radio listen reflection on the Vixen’s Ventures. Great work guys! I also submitted my final radio reflection on my show. I loved working with my group. They were truly fantastic and I loved the final product we created. I then started getting […]

This week for one of my video assignments I did the Return To The Silent Era assignment. This one was a lot of fun. I chose my one of my favorite movies, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I liked the feel of the film a lot and when I was going through the trailers […]

Wow, I can’t believe that the radio show is done. I loved getting to see what others in the class created and the all and all the process was pretty rewarding. I loved how we were really able to develop each of our characters and add another layer to them. It was also really neat […]

The intro to the show was very cool. The audio work they did was truly impressive. The sound effects were so incredibly realistic and well done. I loved listening to all the layers they made. Knowing how long editing takes the sheer amount of work done is impressive. I also like how they took the […]

This week was a challenge just to keep all the assignments straight. So, let’s see if I can get all this in here. I did two daily creates: the laugh out loud video and the create a lesson daily creates. I forgot to do a third day but I honestly feel the high quality work […]

My final inspired post is by Megan Rosengrant. One of the thing’s I really like about Megan’s blog in general is the amount of time she’s dedicated to really build up her character. This audio assignment is a classic example of that. Just because Victoire is bank robber, doesn’t mean she’s not happy. I especially […]

I had to include this as one of my inspired posts because I love Tiffany‘s audio work. She did an incredible job putting our radio show together. What first inspired me about Tiffany’s work, however, was hearing her radio bumper the first time I did my radio tweet-along. It sounded professionally done and really pushed […]

This week I collaborated with Aubrey Howland for our character collaboration project. We ended up creating a story and she’s really great to work with. While looking through her blog, this post really jumped out at me. This post really inspires me because I saw this assignment and it definitely intimidated me but Aubrey nailed […]

I love this visual assignment created by Amanda Layton! I regularly see the work she posts on the noir106 feed and I think it’s really fantastic. I liked this post because it was a clever way to tie into the events that occurred in that week’s weekly video. It’s simple and entertaining. The font chosen […]

This week I had the pleasure of working with Aubrey Howland. We decided to knock out two assignments: a writing one which actually describes in depth what our visual assignment depicts. The visual assignment we chose to do was the Story Map for 4 stars. Check it out here! Our story is based around our two characters: […]

First off, I loved their group name. It’s so clever! The characters were really interesting and they way they came together was interesting. The male’s voice creeped me out so much though. It was really well done. I loved the sound effects. They were so on point and really made you feel like you were […]

I can’t believe it’s spring break and we’re already halfway through this semester. It feels like just yesterday I was struggling to set up my blog and learning how ds106 works. This week we finished up our radio show. I got my parts done on Thursday and I was happy to get to spring break. […]

This week was a busy one. I wrote my character’s monologue for our radio show. We put together the whole script in a google doc. I got my portion recorded and edited on Thursday night. I uploaded it to SoundCloud and then Tiffany put the whole thing together! Below, is the final product! Tiffany did an […]

I really loved today’s daily create assignment. I spent more time on it than I usually would just because I liked the assignment. The five things that bring me joy are high jump (my main event in track), hurdles (my “secondary” event in track), my water-loving cat Monty, my ridiculous dog, Luigi, and my other […]
