TDC 273: Take a photo that encompasses nothing, a void, an absence. So when I was thinking about what I could possibly do for this assignment, I was searching around the man cave for ideas. Recently one of my light bulbs died so I had taken it it out and left it on the floor ...

Balance and Symmetry This photo represents what is known as Radial Symmetry. This means that the design elements wrap around a central location and keep expanding. This creates a circular pattern filled with Design elements and can be a powerful way to illustrate a point in such a way that is conducive to having an ...

The link for this assignment is here: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/ds106-radio/ I really enjoyed making this poster for our radio group. I feel like it entertains the creepy aspect of our theme and contains some elements that give it an odd feeling, which is what we want to do. I got the original portable radio picture from a Flickr ...

I found the assignment at this link here: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/word/ Thanks Rabia Aman for a cool, simplistic assignment! I love playing around with words, and fonts.

The link to the assignment is right here… http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/pokemon-card/ So this assignment here was my very favorite one to do.

Here’s a nice little poster in regards to finding Dr. Oblivious! Oh no! He’s gone missing, what will we do?!?! I found the assignment at  http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/missing-persons-poster-for-dr-oblivion/ . First off here, I opened up a blank canvas and entered different pixel values to enlarge the canvas until I was pleased. I decided on a size that was ...

This assignment was super awesome. I’d always wanted to try my hand at something like this, so I felt I had struck gold here. I took a scene from Star Wars with C3PO and company, and decided on added the Anthony Hopkins character “Hannibal Lecter”. I took a picture of his shoulders up to his ...

Daniel Zimmerman and I decided to do the photoblitz at the same time. We did it in our basement here at Payne Street. It’s pretty wide open, plus we have the upstairs here at the house, which we made good use of. I really like the photoblitz because for one it is time limited: you ...

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/splash-the-color/ I always have fun with these Splash of Color assignments. It is so cool to take a photo that is in black and white, and add a burst of color to it. Your eyes just zone in on the color when you look at it, which is pretty powerful. I got help from this ...

Ohhh those Fat Cats. They are something else. Funny, adorable, obese… Anyways, I decided to throw my hand in at trying this assignment. I started by uploading both photos into photoshop: 1) the Alexandre Cabanel work of art, 2) the fat cat picture. I left the piece of art as it was, and went right ...

Caught my buddy Daniel Zimmerman off guard here. His blog is linked here: http://danielzimmerman.net . I love to joke around with him, known him for a while. Sometimes he takes it better than other times :p. Anyways, I used the site cheezburger.com to make this meme. I took the photo with my iPhone 4s. Figured I ...

I saw this assignment and saw a really awesome opportunity. I figured I would use one of my photos that I was less fond of, and incorporate it into an assignment. I figure it is best to make use of it rather than be ashamed of it. So I went and found a tutorial on ...

Hot Sauce :p My inspiration for doing this assignment was pretty simple. I have a bottle of hot sauce that my roommate brought back for me from Cozumel. It is the BOMB, for sure! I picked it up from my desk and decided to photograph it. I used Photoshop CS6 to manipulate the filters in ...

TDC 253: Create a sound clip that plays a song backwards, with a 3 second silence, then followed by the short original clip. For this Daily Create, I thought to use a Dance song that I really love to listen to called No Beef. It was a cool chance to tool around with a hip ...

It’s pretty cool how Kurt Vonnegut explains this whole concept that stories have a shape to them. He is correct, because many stories follow this model, moving from beginning to end, with a main character usually fluctuating on the “Good-Ill” spectrum, depending on the plight of that character, and the events that unfold within the ...

Storytelling is a broad term, but an important one at that. It encompasses many different forms and has existed as long as humans have. Storytelling requires people to spread their adventures, creations, and so forth. Personal perspective is part of what makes a story a story. Both the person telling the story and the audience ...
