    GOOD DESIGN

    by
    I took a “Graphic Arts” course all four years of high school with a wonderful and passionate teacher (Mr. Erik Leise) who adamantly rejected the name “Graphic Arts” because in reality it was focused on Design. My work fluctuated in quality over the course of my tenor as his student, likely because I was too […]

    WEEK FIVE SUMMARY

    by
    This week was focused on audio editing and storytelling through audio. The first thing I did was made a radio bumper for ds106 radio. Next, I wrote a reflection post on audio storytelling and the videos we watched on the topic. I also wrote a reflection post about my experience tuning into ds106 Radio on […]

    RADIO SHOW IDEAS

    by
    For my radio show, I would either want to do something in the style of a podcast (exploring a topic or telling a story that explains a topic) or do a radio play as we heard on ds106 radio. Some topics I might be interested in include music or anything pop culture-related (movies, TV, literature, […]

    DS106 RADIO

    by
    I tuned into ds106 Radio on Wednesday evening. I had been making some rice and beans and I enjoyed a bowl of them as the episode began. I heard the jazzy bumper I made played very early on in the episode, which was fun. We listened to an old-school radio play about a creepy, possibly […]

    AUDIO REFLECTION

    by
    I love Foley sound design in movies. When I was a kid, I watched the special features for some random flick and one particular segment focused on the recording of the background noise. I found it fascinating how these sound effects artists were able to emulate real life sounds using a variety of unrelated materials. […]

    WEEK FOUR SUMMARY

    by
    Another great week! I’m a very visual person so I enjoyed this unit quite a bit. My plan for next week is to get a headstart on my work over the weekend to avoid my usual tendency to submit my work late into the week. A lot of products for this week! Here are my […]

    GUMP

    by
    For my final visual assignment, I Forrest Gumped myself into a historical scene. The comedian Norm MacDonald died recently, and one of his most famous comedic legacies was endlessly mocking OJ Simpson and his infamous murder trial while on SNL. As a result, the first historical scene that popped into my mind was OJ Simpson’s […]

    GLITCH ART

    by
    For this visual assignment, I did Glitch Art (three stars). I’ve had some minor previous experience with this genre of digital art, so I partially chose this assignment because I already knew what my method for glitching up my photos would be. I also decided I would take photos from my past that captured memories […]

    PHOTOBLITZ!

    by
    My Photoblitz list was: “Music is what feelings sound like.” Make a photo of something musical. A photo that communicates an abandoned or discarded feeling. A photo that looks better in black and white that it did in color. Trees come in all shapes and sizes. Make a photo of an interesting tree. Take a […]

    BETTER PHOTOS

    by
    After reading the suggestions for improving my photography skills, I reflected on a variety of pictures on my camera roll from the previous year and tried to find some shots that I thought embodied (even if accidentally) the tenets of good photography that the article laid out. I did not find one for each of […]

    PHOTOS

    by
    I take a lot of photos. I think of myself as one of many who have been fortunate enough to live in a time where taking a picture, of anything, is easier than ever before. And not just one. You could max out the storage on your phone taking thousands of photos. This is yet […]

    WEEK THREE SUMMARY

    by
    What a week! I found this week to be quite doable, though I have settled into a routine of tackling my ds106 work later in the week due to my busy first few days. I love to write and it is an easy activity to work into a schedule, so I found this week’s assignments […]

    GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA

    by
    I know, I know. It’s serious. One of my favorite novels is Girlfriend In A Coma (1998) by Douglas Coupland, named after The Smiths song. As I was considering what story I would like to revisit, this was pretty much the first thing that popped into my head. I first read it the summer after […]

    BEANS AND RICE

    by
    For this writing assignment, I chose Haiku Recipe (three stars). As the title suggests, the prompt was to write a complete recipe in haiku form without skipping any essential steps. One of my favorite dishes is black beans and rice. As a college student, it’s the perfect balance of inexpensive and delicious. It’s also one […]

    WEEK TWO SUMMARY

    by
    What a week! I enjoyed this one even more than the last. I wrote a post sharing my thoughts on what kind of artist I am. It was a fun one to write because this course itself has made me think a lot about my own artistic discipline. I also participated in the daily creates […]

    WHAT KIND OF ARTIST ARE YOU?

    by
    Certainly a big question. One I probably ask myself at least once every day, vacillating in tone between genuine curiosity and self-frustration. I find this question difficult to answer because it seems a bit unnecessary. Shouldn’t the kind of artist you are simply be evident from the kind of art you make? I can never […]

    WEEK ONE SUMMARY

    by
    This course has already been a lot of fun to work on and it’s only just begun! Week one has flown by, not simply in this course but in general. I was lucky enough to already have this blog ready so that I could immediately start thinking about the assignments rather than spend a lot […]
