This week I did two different mashup assignments. I chose to do ones that did not involve video or audio because I really needed a break from those mediums. You can see my first and second assignments here. Here are my TDCS Bisous ?

Close Up

December 9, 2021

For this mashup assignment, I decided to use this close up photo of Nicki Minaj because it’s a good meme. The assignment said to make the photo in the back unrelated, but I couldn’t help but reference Nicki Minaj’s views against the vaccine. I removed the background from Nicki’s photo and added it above the… Continue reading Close Up

December 9, 2021

For this Mashup Activity, I chose to do the sheet music assignment because I thought it was really cool! I chose this image from Dreamgirls because it is a scene from one of the most popular songs, “And I Am Telling You, I’m Not Going” I took the dark blue color from the photo and… Continue reading Dreamgirls

DS106 Final

December 3, 2021

Final summary: For my final project, I decided to write an original poem and add a visual component to it. The poem I wrote is about the lack of Black history taught in schools. The title is We Teach We which means that the Black history I learned was from other Black people. I felt… Continue reading DS106 Final

This week I worked on my final project. I am making a list of famous people we hear about or have learned about and comparing their success to those of marginalized people who did the same work and got 0 recognition or was erased by history. I have decided to write an original sonnet that… Continue reading Weekly Retrospection #13

Mash Up Trailer

November 6, 2021

I do not understand how people make videos for a living. Once I finished this assignment, I literally had to put my head down on my desk. There was so many parts to this, I swear this video was like 40 minutes long. So first, I needed an idea. I didn’t have one. I downloaded… Continue reading Mash Up Trailer

Alt Movie Ending

| ds106, Syndicated, VideoAssignments, VideoTutorials404
November 6, 2021

This assignment called to reimagine a different ending to a movie and whenever I hear “alt ending” or something along those lines, my first thought is a character dying. (Sounds morbid, but think like video games with a “bad ending”!!) I didn’t want to make something super sad, so instead I tried to go for… Continue reading Alt Movie Ending

November 5, 2021

For my second video assignment, I decided to take a spin on the cheesy educational film assignment, but I took an already made how to video from Howcast and I used Robert Farnon’s Manhattan Boy as my cheesy educational movie because it reminded me of the music that was used in the episode of Spongebob… Continue reading Crackin’ Up

October 29, 2021

For my video assignment, I decided to try my hand at making my own. I thought about something that is generally not in video format like a poem and decided to make it into a video. I first found a poem I love which is Gemini by Audre Lorde and recorded myself on Audacity reading… Continue reading Gemini by Audre Lorde

The story I would want to share with the world are the stories of people who were not able to tell their story. The actual mechanics of this are TBD, but I imagine making some sort of creative project that would show marginalized people have had their voices silenced. Maybe highlighting creators who passed way… Continue reading Project Ideas

October 23, 2021

This week, I listened to my own radio show and Vault 106. You can see my thoughts on it over here. I revisited two of my past assignments and either did it completely different or added more onto them. You can see that here. And now, a TDC story: I went for a swim the… Continue reading Weekly Retrospection #9

October 23, 2021

When I tuned into Tuesday night’s radio show broadcast, I already knew that hearing my voice or the background static would be weird. I think our radio show came out really interesting and personal and knowing the work that Pablo did to edit our parts together, it was really cool hearing the final piece again… Continue reading Radio Listen

For the first project I revisited the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing assignment I decided to make another logo and I picked the Dell logo. I used photoshop to remove the word “DELL” from the circle and used the Futura ExtraBold font to write MAC and rotate the A similar to how the E is rotated… Continue reading Remix

October 15, 2021

This week my group and I completed our radio show, The Joy of Music. The video for that is down below. This was an interesting process. I used a lot of Audacity and convertors which was nice because it was the same audio work we have already been doing, so I didn’t feel like this… Continue reading Weekly Retrospection #8

This week was all about visuals. To be honest the star rating system made it kind of hard to complete these assignments, but I am glad that we have switched to a set number instead of getting up to this many stars. I did a photo blitz I created a shocking message I recreated earth… Continue reading Weekly Retrospection #4

106 HORROR!

by @josephineds106

October 10, 2021

When I think of horror, I think of the killer in the shower trope. My first thought was to have 106 written in bloody letters, but that seemed kind of basic. I found this picture online of a serial killer shower curtain that makes it look like someone is in your shower (not sure why… Continue reading 106 HORROR!

Money. Money runs the world. BUT so girls, specifically women, specifically Beyonce. For this assignment, to mess around with money, I decided to replace the white man currently on the bill with someone more relevant, more prophetic…Beyoncé! I used Photoshop to remove the original face, but keep the same frame. I also downloaded a money… Continue reading Who Runs The World?

Shouldn’t Be Shocking

October 10, 2021

This assignment asked us to combine two images in order to create a shocking message. For me a shocking message is anything that causes controversy. My message is that breasts are not inherently sexual. I chose an image of a woman who is consensually showing her breasts and then found a stock image of a… Continue reading Shouldn’t Be Shocking

For my radio show group I decided to work with my younger sibling, Alex and one of his friends,Pablo. Alex and I had talked previously about being in the same class together and thought this would be an easy option because we have similar interests. We then reached out to Pablo and made an IMessage… Continue reading Radio Show Progress

For my 2nd audio assignment, I decided to make a mixtape, but for our radio show: The Joy of Music. I will go in depth about this playlist on our radio show.

For our second audio assignment, I made the intro bumper for our radio show. I used an 8 second snippet from one of my favorite songs, Get you by Daniel Caesar ft. Kali Uchis. I converted the youtube video to an MP3 file and used Audacity to clip the song then recorded myself speaking on… Continue reading Radio Show Bumper

October 10, 2021

For my promo for our DS106 radio show, I wanted the design to align with my groupmates’ designs. I also went simple with the design and color scheme. I feel that the monochrome catches the eye without being too overwhelming and the image is super easy to recognize and a little nostalgic. I made this… Continue reading Radio Show Promo

Balance: The symmetry of the spoons on this cereal, juxtapose the different grains that are being held very well. The spoons are all facing the same way and the distance apart, but they have things in their spoons that are falling out and that all look different.

I did a random assignment again and this one was a throwback. These posters kind of remind me of that Adult Swim bumper trend on TikTok. Same vibes. I thought about what I should put, or get rather. I just kept saying got, got, got, until it hit me. “Got to go?” It isn’t very… Continue reading Got to go…?

When I saw this assignment, it reminded me of something I saw once. Someone I followed on Instagram from high school was asking if anyone could make a “snow sports inspired” logo for his podcast on winter sports. This was a few years ago and I could not find anything about his podcast, so I… Continue reading Simple, but detailed logo
