    Inspire: Of Cruelty and Treats

    by
    http://www.dniepokoj.com/daily-create/evil-guinea-pig-and-fake-treats/ This one was just plain cruel! However, I could not stop from laughing at it. That dog looks so depressed that that is not a treat. I’ve seen some cruel stuff in my days, but this one was just great. I wonder if the dog actually fell for it though. Anyways, I’m inspired by […]

    Inspire: Remembering that Awesome Autumn

    by
    http://blogs.jessicareingold.com/ds106/daily-create/its-autumn/ So, I just got inspired today! I started looking through folk’s websites, when I stumbled upon this lovely little picture. To most people, this is just a tree. However, this inspired me to remember that awesome time of year called “Autumn.” Since I’ve been in college, the rest of the world is almost invisible […]

    Food Tower

    by
    Today’s TDC was pretty fun! I decided to make a food tower that had support. It would have looked more like a cool pyramid, but the granola bars would not cooperate! Curse you granola!

    Inspire: Boots Made for Stomping

    by
    http://rambling.wafflestomping.com/ds106/giant-wafflestomping/ This one inspired me to make a picture of my fan for one of the visual assignments. Something about this large boot was just cool to me. Perhaps, the post that the author made, inspired me, I’m not really sure. One thing is certain, this was done very well and I really like how […]

    Changing the Past

    by
    This is an interesting question. I don’t think I would change a thing about my past. While my past is not flawless, I rather like that it has made me who I am today. Most people would kill to have something like this, but I think I’d have to pass. I like how I am […]

    Carl Cattler… more like…

    by
    Carl Cattler now sees nothing, but the eyes of the tiger. The tiger lunged forward and ripped his head clean off. What happened next was a bizarre feat that no tiger has ever accomplished. The tiger then mounted his head on a wall and stairs into his eyes; the tiger looks deeply into them, almost […]

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/swap-shop/ This was a fun one to create. I used the sound recorder on my computer and a basic headset. However, unlike other recordings, I grabbed my brother to assist me with this one while I was at home. After going over the assignment, he was ready to help. The idea for the product actually […]

    Another Day at the Adventurer’s Shack!

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/all-me-in-the-scene/ Alright here is a short audio clip of the adventurer’s shack. Creating this simply required my mic, my computer’s sound recorder, and a quiet area. I also had to pull to different voices to act out a scene (I’m not too good at making different voices so it might not be the best). I […]

    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/bumper-sticker/ For everyone who hates getting cut off, this one is for you! It was made on powerpoint using shapes and textboxes.

    READ DUMMY!

    by
    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-a-read-poster/ Alright here is my take on a READ poster. I created this with powerpoint like all of my other pictures. If the picture is of lesser quality, it is because I resized it. The process of creating this was fairly simple as usual. On the other hand, The inspiration for this is more of […]
