I chose the Writing Assignment Timeline to be about what world events happened during my character’s lifetime, some of the events affect her personally, affect London, or are just important things that happened in history that year.

Hello, this is my post for the What’s In a Name Writing Assignment on the ds106 website. I always get a look from people after I spell out my first name for them or a comment like “that’s a pretty way to spell it”, but not many people ask why Kayleigh is spelled the way … Continue reading Why is Your Name Spelled That Way?

I played around with different saturations and black and white photography, but I liked the way that the “Process” filter added definition to … Continue reading The Eyes! The Eyes!

Today’s Daily Create consisted of creating an image with a cat playing a synthesizer in space. This DC option was so cute and random that it was hard to pass up! I thought about creating something using Paint or Photoshop, but decided that I would go against the grain and draw my Daily Create with … Continue reading Cats and Synthesizers and Space, Oh My!

I feel that I have adequately completed the assignments given to me this week. The only thing that gave me trouble was attempting to edit my profile information on a couple of my accounts. I enjoyed looking at content posted by others on social media sites and getting to know more about the ds106 class … Continue reading 1st Weekly Summary
