I’m writing my character’s point of view of an event that Kyle Masala is responsible and known for. While he was a bartender, legend says he ended bar fight by shooting the hats off of both of their heads. Luke, drifting from town to town, was lucky enough witness this unfold from the corner of … Continue reading Writing Assignment – Different Point Of View – Same Place

This assignment, Change of Scenery, has you place a character or characters into a different background. Since we had to incorporate other characters from our class, I went with Josh Whiting’s Donnie Rejj, who is a cyborg cowboy, namely because he had provided a picture I felt I could use on his page. To represent my … Continue reading Design Assignment – Change Of Scenery

This is my first collaborative character assignment, and I decided to create a wanted poster for Andy Slupek’s character Andy, who is a bank robber, and my character Luke, who’s a vagabond. The two worked for a brief amount of time after an encounter during a robbery, where an opportunistic Luke assisted in return for … Continue reading Design Assignment – Most Wanted Outlaws DS106 Style

Last night I tuned in to ds106 radio, and listened to TombCast Radio, which was made by Josh Whiting, Mason Latimer, and James Crisp. A key thing that stuck out immediately was the atmosphere and type of show that was produced. A lot of the other shows created were in a way stereotypical radio, including my own, … Continue reading Radio Listen – TombCast Radio

Week 8, and as a result our work on radio shows, is now over. I’m glad that our “midterm” was separated from the rest, and I think it allowed us to get much better work in at a more relaxed pace. I’m proud of my work for the radio show, and enjoyed the culmination of the … Continue reading Week 8 Summary

The second week of the radio show proved to be the more substantive week of work. The week previously, most of us had created our bumpers or commercials. That left this week to conceptualize, create, produce, and edit the “show” part of the radio show. Since our radio channel theme is news, I wanted to … Continue reading Radio Show Progress, Week 2

I want to start this out with a HUGE shoutout to our wonderful professor, Paul Bond, for allowing me to move this week over to spring break. I would have been struggling even more on those midterms if I had to do this as well. We’re finally here! The radio show that I’m sure a … Continue reading Week 7 Summary

Our radio show needs commercials as part of the requirement. Problem is, with the advent of Netflix and Adblock, I can’t really recall the last ad I watched or listened to. I went back to those classic infomercials, and tried to emulate that style. The music isn’t exactly fitting, but it was the best I … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Make Your Own Radio Commercial!

This is the first piece of content I’ve produced for our radio show. I’ve done a generic bumper for ds106 radio, but this is specifically for our show, which is a news show. I wanted to emulate that news channel sweeper, and I think it came out pretty good. The music is from Graham Walsh, … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Create A Ds106 Radio Bumper

We were supposed to do 5 stars of audio assignments including our characters, so I chose this quick 2 and a half star assignment to supplement the 4 star radio show ad I did with him (aka awful accent) Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back. Found … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Based On 1-Quote-A-Day Project!!

I remember reading the syllabus that first week, and when I saw the midterm was to create a radio show, I became worried. I’d never done anything remotely like that before, and I’d have to be collaborating not only with people I’ve never met, but collaborating through the internet. As you do with any fear, … Continue reading Radio Show Progress, Week 1

Our radio group is called World Wide Western News, which is going to be a news show reporting on all sorts of Western themed stories. One of our members, Kristopher Hiser, made a logo for the group. I really liked his basic idea, but I wanted to try my hand at creating one too. His … Continue reading World Wide Western News Logo

The design week was very fun, and was the week I was most comfortable going from the onset. Reading the Vignelli Canon allowed me to gain deeper insight to the world of design. I applied this to my brief investigation of western design. These principles were also using during my design blitz. However, before I read … Continue reading Week 6 Summary

This assignment was actually the first time I uploaded anything to flickr, I always preferred to just upload it through the site, since flickr is kinda annoying to use. I made sure to do this last, after being exposed to various aspects of design all week. Balance: Our very own belltower at Mary Washington. It’s … Continue reading Designblitz

On my first foray into investigating western design, I looked at the collection of movie stills. I went into this having read Vignelli’s Canon, so I had a better grasp of design than before. The first thing that stuck out to me immediately was the font.  Most of the title cards use a font similar to … Continue reading Investigating Western Design

After reading the Vignelli Canon, I found myself impressed. We are bombarded by aspects of design every day, yet there definitely is some innate feeling about what looks good and what looks bad. It was within the Canon that these feelings were explained and fleshed out. I was surprised to learn how many of the … Continue reading The Vignelli Canon

This assignment, called the Ultimate Merger, has you combine the logo of two companies together, as if they merged. I tried to think of two logos with a similar theme, rather than think of two companies that are similar. Eventually, I saw the twitter logo, and wanted to use another bird. I remember that NBC’s … Continue reading Design Assignment – The Ultimate Merger

In this assignment, you’re supposed to pick a movie poster and animate it in some way. I picked this up initially thinking it wouldn’t be too difficult, especially for a 4.5 star assignment, but boy was I wrong. I chose 2001 because it was the last movie I watched, and the movie poster was simple … Continue reading Design Assignment – Animated Movie Posters
