final project summary
by @rachelds106 April 24, 2020Hey guys, we’re almost done with this class, I can’t believe it!
I got the inspiration for my final project from the movie “I Am Legend”, starring Will Smith. In short, the basis of the movie follows Will Smith as he tries to survive a “zombie” apocalypse and searches for …

final project plan!
by @rachelds106 April 17, 2020Idea: “I am Legend” approach but 80’s style
Hey everyone, so one of my favorite post-pandemic/apocalyptic movies ever is “I Am Legend” with Will Smith. For my final project, I decided to take this movie and put a couple of twists on it.
First, I’m going to try my best …

week twelve
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020This week was a lot easier than the past two weeks, which I’m super thankful for. I’ll start by talking about my mashups!
So for the first mashup, I combined an audio I created weeks ago and added video clips to it to make a sort of music video/video …

remixed poetry art
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020I sort of kept to the 80’s theme by including a poet who was around in the 80’s! Charles Bukowski is a German-American writer. I’ve seen a lot of his poems and short quotes on Pinterest and I love his writing. It’s very raw and straight forward, and he talks …

aesthetic audio/video mashup
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020Hey everyone! So I created my own mashup assignment (maybe I didn’t but when I was looking I didn’t find one like this) but I’m sure there’s something similar to it out there. Basically I just combined my audio from this assignment a couple of weeks back, and some video …

you’re a mean one!
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020For this remix assignment, I decided to remix one of my old poster designs and add a Dr. Suess character to it. The original assignment I created was a Body Dysmorphia poster. I spent some time looking up Dr. Suess characters, trying to figure out which one would fit the …

emoji comparison
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020(I’m rating it a 2 personally)
Hey guys! So this assignment was very simple and easy to do. I just had to take a picture of a friend doing something in the moment that looks like one of the emojis on a phone. My sister was with me doing her …

80’s movie scene mashup
by @rachelds106 April 10, 2020????
For this assignment, I chose to combine two famous 80’s movie scenes into one picture. I’ve seen this picture of the scene many times, just in pictures and references on blog posts, etc., but I’ve actually never seen the movie itself (Say Anything). Maybe it’ll be the next …

week ten
by @rachelds106 April 4, 2020So I was really looking forward to this week. I thought it would go a lot smoother than last week but since I had a lot more going in my other classes this past week, it ended up being a lot harder than usual. I was able to create more …

pineapple on pizza?
by @rachelds106 April 4, 20204 Stars
This is one of my favorite videos I’ve made in this class so far! It even tops last week’s “All About the 80s”. For this video, the assignment was to ask people their opinion on something. The first idea that popped into my head was: “pineapple on pizza!”. …

my dream life
by @rachelds106 April 3, 2020The first video assignment I did this week was a trailer for my dream life. The assignment was rated as 2.5 stars, but personally I believe it’s worth 4 stars! I think the rating is lower because it’s only supposed to be a 30-second video, but mine ended up being …

Karate Kid Video Essay
by @rachelds106 March 27, 2020I have a much better appreciation and respect for those who decided to take on careers (or even just a hobby) in cinematography. I thought the Youtube videos that we were recommended to watch were full of amazing information. My favorite video was the one about the chairs. Who knew …

by @rachelds106 March 27, 2020View this post on Instagramwhere i’m spending quarantine #ds106
My last two video assignments together gave me 9 stars, so I chose a super easy one to make it to ten! I took this boomerang of …

the hunting party
by @rachelds106 March 27, 2020The second video project I decided to do was to create a book trailer. It was much harder than anticipated for a few reasons…Unlike my first project, Youtube failed when it came to providing the types of clips I needed for this, so I resorted to Videvo and Pexels, and …

all about the 80’s
by @rachelds106 March 26, 2020Hi! So I chose option 2 for this week (do 10 stars worth of video assignments) and I chose to create a mash-up trailer. At first this task seemed super daunting, and I admit it was a bit challenging at first because I’ve never done something like it before, BUT…..it …

week 9
by @rachelds106 March 20, 2020This week was pretty relaxed, at least for this class. I’m still adjusting to the online courses, I’m sure everyone is. Despite the situation we’re dealing with, I’m hoping to adjust and get on a new schedule soon that suits me for the rest of the semester.
I had the …

let’s revisit!
by @rachelds106 March 20, 2020Hey everyone! The posts I’ve decided to revisit were the Bucket List inspiration and the Dance Camp poster. I thought it would be fun to revisit the first because I had added new ideas in my phone notes, and figured this would be perfect to add on to it. …

by @rachelds106 March 15, 2020So it’s time to start thinking about our final projects, which is scary yet exciting to me because that means this semester is coming to a close! Here are a couple of general ideas I’ve come up with so far:
1.) Some sort of show (video/audio/podcast) that goes through the …

What’s Their Damage?
by @rachelds106 March 15, 2020Hey everyone, I hope you’re staying healthy and safe! I’m really excited about the radio show my group put together. After meeting in person the week before spring break, we came up with a plan about how we were going to tackle the show. Most of our work was done …

This week consisted of making progress with …

audio for our show!
by @rachelds106 February 28, 2020Hey everyone! So I chose to create a radio bumper, a commercial and a mixtape for this week’s audio assignments. Both the bumper and commercial were created through Audacity. I used music from Youtube’s Free Sound and I wrote the script for what I said in each audio on a …

radio show poster
by @rachelds106 February 28, 2020Here’s the poster I made for our radio show: “What’s Their Damage?”, where we’ll be talking about 80’s Crime! I originally was going to try and make a poster that had footprints on it, but I didn’t find a sticker I liked on Canva, so I decided to go with …

week six
by @rachelds106 February 21, 2020I swear the weeks just keep going by faster and faster! I had a lot of fun with this week. Canva was my best friend, and I had a lot of fun with the assignments. I was easily able to connect our 80’s theme to this week; I felt like …

design blitz
by @rachelds106 February 21, 2020Color doesn’t always have to be bright, which is what I realized during this design blitz. These colors are neutral and dark, yet they still work together to create a beautiful map (I wish my iphone quality was better than it appears in all my photos).
I bought this candle …

dysmorphia
by @rachelds106 February 21, 2020“Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health disorder in which you can’t stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can’t be seen by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that you may avoid …

Grapes of Wrath
by @rachelds106 February 21, 2020I’ve honestly never read the Grapes of Wrath, but I have read “The Road” by McCarthy, (didn’t like it at all), and that’s what drew me to check out this assignment. I took the title of this book and decided to design it literally after looking up some of the …
