I can proudly say that I am done with this semester! While I did struggle with a lot of assignments, and this project, I would say I learned a lot. Maybe not in the typical sense, but I definitely have better problem-solving skills. Enough of that, though. Let’s get on to the final project! For ... Read moreFinal Project

Final project time! So for this week, Mariam and I decided to work together. We actually worked together for the radio show and thought it would be a good idea to collaborate again. We threw some ideas out there but ultimately decided that we wanted to do something that fun. Something that would be a ... Read moreWeekly Summary

I am happy to say that this week has been a much more enjoyable (and less stressful) week! To start off the summary of this week, I’ll go over my Daily Creates which are always fun. My first one was about a creative roadblock. It’s simple and just a play on the word, but I ... Read moreWeekly Summary

November 15, 2019

I decided to do a tutorial, not for any specific project, but for the use of audacity in general. When I first started using audacity, I struggled IMMENSELY with it. It’s kind of funny how much I struggled with it because it’s so incredibly simple when you get the hang of it. So without further ... Read moreTutorial

Mash-Up #2

November 15, 2019

For this one, I needed to show the character growth of anyone from tv or movie. I chose Rachel Green from Friends. I feel she has shown serious growth from season 1 to season 10. In season 1, Rachel was a spoiled woman who had never paid for anything in her life. She had never ... Read moreMash-Up #2

For this remix, I had to take a really close up picture of something AND THEN, act as if I’m a really stuck up art critic. So here we go! The artist really doesn’t seem to understand art. What is this supposed to represent? Art is supposed to mean something to the artist, and therefore ... Read moreRemix #2

Here is my first remix! I love it. I loved the show Scooby Doo growing up (still do) and I thought it would be a fun chance to mess around with it. In my opinion, if it’s not Scooby himself, Shaggy would be the one most likely to go missing from the mystery gang. He’s ... Read moreRemix #1

I really liked my previous idea of taking a popular 80s movie and retelling it from a different character’s point of view. I think this could really allow us to be creative and tell a new story, but also allow us to work with all of our favorite movies from the 80s. For example, in ... Read moreThinking Ahead

So again, I hate the video assignments. I feel like I’m cheating and not doing any of the work because I’m using video guides to help me.

There were a lot of contenders for which assignments I wanted to rework, but I decided to add a scarier flair to the Halloween Pary Poster I created. I didn’t get to work on it as much as I desperately wanted to and, as a result, it’s more cute than scary. Previously, I found a ... Read moreRevisiting Previous Work

So the radio show I caught tonight was 80s Brain Cells You Forgot About. Not only do I love the name, but I also preferred the fact that it sounded more like a podcast rather than an actual radio show. Instead of announcing, there was more of a conversation going on between all the hosts. ... Read moreRadio Show Reflection
