Itās hard to believe that itās been 14 weeks since the beginning of this class. It feels like we just started. This was my first fully self paced class Iāve taken, so it was definitely an interesting ride trying to get used to the many different elements of the course. Overall, I found it to ā¦
For my final project, I decided to define what āartā means to me. I see a lot of definitions about what many different people do, and donāt consider art. What immediately comes to mind is the controversy of artists such as Andres Serrano, and the like. What they created was art in their own minds, ā¦
This was an interesting week to say the least. I had to spend a good amount of time catching up from last week, because my computer had died and I was informed three days later that it needed to be replaced. Unless I wanted to spend $500 repairing a 5 year old computer (I did ā¦
So I decided that with these, I was just gonna do the first thing that came up. Even if it was really dumb, or didnāt make any sense whatsoever. I felt that I would get the most interesting results out of doing it this way, instead of picking and choosing things that tickled my fancy. ā¦
So, I donāt really pay attention to any actors or current movies. I kinda just prefer to watch older stuff, so Iām not super aware of that many current actors because I refuse to watch them. I decided to take Eddie Murphy, and some other guy whose name I forgot. I put them in the ā¦
Well, last week my computer gave it quits right after finishing my main assignment for the week. In the process of uploading the video to Youtube, the computer decided that the fans were going to stop functioning and the computer essentially cooked itself. I decided to take another look at the DIY style video that ā¦
I used IMovie for the first time in what feels like eternity. Iāve never really used it much before since like elementary school-ish. But it was pretty easy to get a hang of, and is a pretty solid interface for piecing videos together for free, and itās also very easy to edit and add stills. ā¦
I am a terrible chef.
I can use a blender okay though, sometimes.
So I made a good smoothie, and filmed the process. At least I saved my smoke detectors from an untimely fate by staying away from the stove.
Iām not sure who my character is, or where theyāre going, but itās doesnāt sound great. I took the original video in 4k, but YouTube hates 4k and never processes it properly. Either way, I put a filter on it and added some creepy apocalyptic-sounding sound effects to the video. I tried to overlay them ā¦
I chose to go with one of the films listed in the assignment description, The Silence Of The Lambs. It also happens to be one of my favorite films of all time outside of the assignment. Since the YouTube content police might have struck my account for uploading the scene, even with narration, I decided ā¦
I ended up having to do something to my car, and decided that it would be perfect for this week in Ds106. Just in case anybody has a 20 year old Audi that they work on (didnāt think so). I filmed the entire process in 4k, using a bench vice as a tripod. After filming ā¦
This was a good week to wind down after finishing the radio product, which was quite the undertaking to begin with. I revisited a couple of visual assignments from the past, just to give them another shot. I was pleased with the results the first time, personally. But I changed some stuff around the second ā¦
I forgot to do the third one. But so far, these two are connected because the lady got impaled by a clarinet in the town I created. Safety standards donāt exactly exist in my medieval city, which is probably pretty accurate.
There have been a couple of projects that Iāve wanted to experiment with more, even though in the moment I only did them once with minimal experimentation. The first one was the sketch one. I just thought I could do more things with it than I actually did, and there were a few pictures that ā¦
I did not have a chance to tune in to any of the live broadcasts, they are always going during a slightly inopportune time for me. I listed to āCollege Adviceā by bmdablis. This group was smaller than my group, so it was shorter than what my group did. But I thought the concept was ā¦
Another productive week. My group and I worked hard to finish our radio show, and spent several hours at the HCC making it all come together. Weāre all happy with the finished product, it sounds great and Wade did a great job editing it to make everything sound even better. Radio Show, Week 2 Daily ā¦
Another productive week for our radio show. Our group worked well-delegating roles and followed up with each other. We had another in-person meeting after we did our individual tasks relating to the show. All of us had specific roles in the production of our show. I did some commercials and sound effects, while others had ā¦
Iāve lost track of time. But I have done a fair amount of assignments this week, the majority of my focus was on the group projects, and I must admit that I did neglect my daily creates as a result. But as far as the group project goes, weāre on a great path and Iām ā¦
I decided to go with a regular logo for our radio show, nothing crazy since thatāll be saved for the final show. Our group is named Radio 7, because there are seven of us in the group, so it worked out nicely. I liked the black and gold color combination, and I thought the record ā¦
Itās been an interesting week for sure. I never really expected to do anything in person for this class, especially with the format and the professor not even being at UMW. But we had an in-person meeting at the conferencing building on campus, and my group and I were able to get a much better ā¦
I took this prompt and twisted it to fit into my group project. As the protagonist would eventually need this product….
This one was pretty fun to make, I incorporated some interesting sound effects into it to make it less monotonous.

Here is my first radio commercial, which I will also use for my groupās project. Itās for paint thinner. It took me way too long because Iām only just re-figuring out Audacity, which is software I used a little bit years ago. But nowā¦ā¦ Not so confident. Iām not using Soundcloud because I donāt like ā¦
Iām still working on figuring out Audacity, so anything not involving Audacity is a good thing right now. Having fewer assignments this week made it a lot easier for me to increase the quality of what Iāve been able to produce. Design thoughts: Design Thoughts Photo Blitz For my Photo Blitz, I had fun taking ā¦
Color: Orange is one of the most eyecatching colors, though there is not much contrast in this particular image.
Typography- Words matter, their arrangement, spacing. When they get too tight, they lose their meaning in a sea of text.

For this assignment, I chose to turn Jacobās Ladder (1990) into a book cover. Itās one of my favorite movies, and I would have been interested to see a book version of it. Well, there is technically a book version but its more of a script than anythingā¦. I took an existing poster, and replaced ā¦
This was a pretty interesting article. Immediately, just by looking at the work discussed, it really catches the eye. Even if itās now super detailed, or interesting, which most of his work frankly isnāt. Though when your audience is primarily children, I supposed it matters less if your artwork actually means anything, but rather if ā¦
Looking through Reading posters over time, there are some pretty horrible-looking ones out there. Most of the time, I was just staring at some of them and wondering who exactly is telling me to read books. So I decided to go with a more thorough approach. I have Photoshop on my computer from my previous ā¦
So once upon a time, I had a legitimate business card for a legitimate business that my friend and I ran. It had all of my actual-ish information on it, and was used for a few months. But, we got rid of that business eventually and I havenāt really had a business card since. Again, ā¦
I do not foresee a future for myself in anything related to audio. Audacity is terrible, and far too much hassle to work with. I just donāt have the time to fully master it. First I stopped by hell for a quick look around. I could have just played U2 and it would have taken ā¦
