As I stated just a couple of blog posts ago, I have absolutely no idea how anything audio related works, and going into this week I was extremely concerned I would have trouble keeping up with the assignments given. While I am still pretty much lost when it comes to using sound designer tools, I …

Nothing, absolutely nothing, that is my answer. I’m not even joking. When I first looked at the syllabus for this week and saw that there was going to be an entire week dedicated to just audio, I was extremely worried (and still am). I know nothing about audio mixing, how to actively discuss and differentiate …

I have to say, after a couple weeks of online assignments, this class is really starting to grow on me. Unlike other classes I have taken in college so far, this class I have noticed really encourages you to flex your creative muscles. You are asked to talk about hings that interest you, and complete …

Stopping to smell the flowers may not seem like all that much, but this simple task can brighten up even the gloomiest of days, and with my flower, The Night-Shade, like a rose that is blue and purple, I hope people will continue to be made just a little happier#tdc2336 — Michael Dietrich (@Michael68856400) June …

Although I’m pretty embarrassed to admit it, When I was a young child I would often fantasize about being a superhero named “Zone Fighter”. The reason I played pretend like this so frequently was because of my simple love for Japanese giant monster movies and TV show, such as Godzilla and Ultraman. I watched these …

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, a third world war following the escalation of the Cuban Missile Crisis would have surely had a disastrous effect on Earth and Human civilization. Billions would be killed, and the few who did manage to survive would have to struggle to survive in a harsh new world …

One of the most famous  and frightening moments during the cold war was the Cuban Missile Crisis. As I’m sure you all know, the Cuban Missile Crisis was an event that nearly led to a violent confrontation between the USA and the USSR, which in turn would have surely led to a nuclear third world …

While I am starting to get used to the structure of this class, my busy schedule has not done me any favors. Due to the fact that I am almost constantly working, I have little time to venture into the outside world, which makes completing assignments such as the design blitz difficult at times. It …

The photos I took are, admittedly, not super impressive (not to mention I only took a few). But the reason I did this was because I truly think that in these three pictures, many of the concepts we read about are on full display. Each of the objects on center within the photo have bright …

My pick for an alternate history timeline is easily the scenario where the Cuban Missile Crisis escalated into a full scale war. I have little doubt in my mind that if a third world war took place during this time, the world as we know it would be an unrecognizable place today. The prospect of …

If there is any lesson I am going to take away from the two ted talks and the practice assignments, it’s that there truly is no completely right way to go about designing pieces of art. Designs are entirely subjective. The designs these two speakers praised could be seen as completely horrendous in the eyes …

Daily Create #1: Fonts Matter Everyone knows that the  same phrases,sayings, greetings, etc. can have slightly different meanings depending on the tone it is said in and the context in which it is said. In my daily create, I wanted to convey this by presented the common phrase “good luck” in two different styles. One …

If you read my previous blog entry, you’ll know that I struggled with the assignment quite a bit due to my lack of knowledge with pretty much all forms of social media and photography. I’m happy to report that this time around the  process was far easier. I was able to complete the two daily …

When I first started this assignment, I wasn’t sure how well I would fare. I have never been remotely interested in photography, not even a little, and because of that, I have absolutely zero knowledge of how to go about taking “professional” photos. Due to these circumstances, I was concerned I would be unable to …

Lets just say this first week was pretty stressful. I’ve never done any sort of online class life this before so for the past couple of days (which unfortunately is the only time I’ve had to work on school) I’ve been scrambling to figure out exactly how this sort of class works. What made this …
