So, for this audio assignment I chose to do Use the Voice.  Using a voice over similar to the famous Don LaFontaine, I had to create a movie trailer out of an everyday thing, or something normal.  I chose to do the birth of a baby. Check it out! Here is the transcript: *action music* In […]

Once upon a time there was a teenage boy taking a leisure walk through the forest.   As he was enjoying the beautiful sounds of nature a small bee stung him on his temple.  It did not hurt that much as he swatted the bee upon landing, so away he goes to continue his peaceful […]

This first assignment for soundcloud wasn’t hard at all because I previously recorded a sound for Dr. Garcia and uploaded it, so I just did it the same way again. Current news in NBA right now is where will Lebron James go to since he is now a free agent.

Omg ok so this morning I got on my computer getting ready to knock some work out the way for today right.  So then I tried to log onto my blog and I got hit with this webpage and my face was like Guys, I died. I died. I died. So then after I was […]

I updated the cover picture of my site. I was kind of getting tired of seeing the same ol picture every time I log on.  I have a problem with stuff staying the same for too long.  Like I can’t wear the same nail polish for more than 3 days in a row because it […]

This is the end of another hectic week in the ds106 community.  To me, this week was harder than the first because it required a lot more work with design programs, which means I have had quite a few headaches all week.  The hardest thing was, as stated in previous other posts, trying to master […]

This week I have received a lot of support from my classmates.  They have been commenting on several of my assignments and I really appreciate the positive feedback.  I haven’t received any constructive criticism though so hopefully in the future I will get this as well, since I know nothing I do is perfect. I […]

I haven’t really been out much this week, so I have not seen any real signs that depicted the design principles.  So, plan b was to look around my house and my stuff and I actually did find some things! Typography The main effect of this design element is to show certain meanings just based on […]

Today’s daily create is to create a joke that a cow would say to a human. Cow to Human: Got milk? *evil glare* Yea…don’t make a cow mad.  This reminds me of the time when our neighbor’s bulls got loose one day and they ran around terrorising the streets.  Talk about your local gang!

For my next design assignment, I made a minimalist poster. I decided to create a poster for one of my favorite Disney movies, Snow White.  This is a story of a young girl who had to escape her home because an evil queen wanted to kill her.  She ran into the forest and stumbled upon […]

The first thing that came to my mind when watching Kelli Anderson’s tedx talk was the different things I used to make out of paper when I was a kid.  We made all kinds of airplanes and ‘fortune tellers’ and snowflakes and flowers to last us a lifetime.  But, I never thought that I could […]

For today’s daily create, here is a picture of me with a couple of kids who lives in a village I volunteer at in El Progreso, Honduras. This here is a happy 3 year bond.  I love these smiles.

I chose the One Story, Four Icons assignment.  Can you guess my movie? I found all the images on The Noun Project.  To put them together I simply took a screenshot of each individual image and then pasted them together in Microsoft Word. I’m using this movie because I have watched it a million and […]

I chose to do a design assignment on the Six-Word Memoir.  I have always loved being a free spirit but sometimes I feel constrained to finish school and do what my parents want me to do.  Want to know my real passion in life? I want to join the Peace Corps and live in a world […]

I’m more than half way done with my current summer read: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone.  I decided to reread all the book of this series, for the millionth time, this summer.  I would have been started but the two classes I was taking at the beginning of the summer semester were too hectic […]

If I had to create a law for the day then without a doubt I would make it against the law to use the english system of measurement. The metric system is where it’s at guys. Really. I will never understand why we have to be so special and use a completely different system than […]

Wesch asked a very great question, so great that I want to answer it myself. “How many of you do not actually like school?” Well, I also honestly do not like school.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE learning but often times in undergrad I feel like i’m not learning anything.  I’m an […]

Getting everything straight for my blog and domain has been one trying process and here is how I’d like to explain it: Narrating […]

To  start off, I think one of the good things about this audio is that he came up with the idea as soon as he woke up.  He must of had a great dream about ds106 audio podcasts haha. When he stated that we would be making our own radio plays it kinda made me […]

Art has always been one of my first true loves.  So I thought it was only right that my first visual assignment was the Art Comes to Life category.  With this, I had to recreate a popular piece of art and make it my own in a modern way.  It took me quite some time […]
