    DS106 Radio Show Mixtape

    February 26, 2020
    So I had already done the mixtape assignment during audio week a while back but decided to do it again because I thought it was fitting to our radio show! I decided to pick out all the best theme songs from different 80s movies and create a playlist so that way when I am putting together the radio show I can pull from those songs to create the background music easier! I chose songs from classic 80s movies like “Pretty in Pink”, “Back to the Future” and of course, “The Breakfast Club”. I also threw in some other 80s theme […]

    The radio show is something I am really excited about. I have been brainstorming ideas since I heard about the project and am looking forward to actually getting started on it. My group decided we’d name our ourselves “The Breakfast Club” because we thought it fit our group in the sense that we are 4 strangers who are coming together to create something (and hopefully become friends through it). That is where I came up with the idea for my promotional poster. I took the Breakfast Club movie poster and photoshopped my group members heads on the heads of the […]

    What a fun week! Like I have said in previous posts, I am very interested in design as something I want to do as a career, most specifically website design and graphic design. I had a lot of fun taking stuff I learned and worked on in other classes into this week. My favorite part of the week was definitely the Design Assignments but I’ll talk about those a little later in this post. The first thing I did this week was research design by reading and watching the things posted on the DS106 website. I enjoyed reading the article […]

    Tattoo Design

    For this assignment, we had to create a custom tattoo design that described us. I thought this would be a fun assignment to complete because I am actually hoping to go get another tattoo soon! My tattoo is roman numerals for the date February, 19, 2003. That is the date that I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. This tattoo means a lot to me because living with diabetes is something I have struggled with for almost 18 years. To me, getting this tattoo is me taking control of my diabetes, not letting it take control of me. When I […]

    For an assignment this week, we had to complete a Design Blitz. That entailed taking pictures of different posters around campus that embody different design elements. I had a lot of fun with this assignment. If I am being honest, I don’t usually take the time to look at the posters around campus so it was very informative as well as cool to analyze them. The first poster I found was from the weekly email I receive from the school. I thought it was a great example of both color and typography. The poster lists the different things that the […]

    For this assignment we were tasked to create a poster for an event or club or anything we wanted. I decided to create a poster for the Women’s Ultimate Frisbee Team, Mary Massacre. I joined the team last semester so I thought it would be fun to create a poster for something I was apart of. Here is the poster! I posted it on my twitter to advertise! The girl in the photo is a girl on the team that I found a high quality image of. I am really happy with how it turned out and might give it […]

    For this assignment we had to create a READ poster. I decided to take mine the comedic route and make fun of the one and only Donald Trump. I’m not sure if it has been made clear from my other posts or tweets, but I am not a fan of Trump. I may actually be his #1 un-supporter. I first googled a picture of Trump reading (which honestly, there aren’t many pictures of…). I then put a slogan on top of the image in the ways the old READ posters did. Here is the outcome: Hope you had a laugh […]

    For the first of my assignments for the week I will be designing a logo for my business, Hanging with Sam, where I design and make macramé wall-hangings. I started this business over the summer so I am still getting everything settled and a logo is something I’ve had on my to-do list. I decided to make it very clear what my logo was advertising which is why I made sure it included an image of macrame in it. I actually ended up making 2 different designs for the logo. I can’t decide which one I like better. Here are […]

    I am very excited for this week. I think I want to be a web designer/graphic designer so this is gonna be a very fun week for me. In some of my other classes I am learning how to more in-depth how to use photoshop and other photo-editing programs so I am excited to be able to use what I am learning in those classes and apply it to what I make this week. The first thing I did was watch the video on Stranger Things. I thought it was super interesting. It was cool to see the though process […]

    This week was crazy for me. It was a week where I needed my time management skills. I was busy all last weekend and then went home in the middle of this week for a concert (which was super fun). So I only had 4 full days to get all my work done. It was a bit of a struggle, and I wasn’t able to complete everything I wanted to, but I got as much done as I could which is alright with me. Besides the craziness of the week, I enjoyed the assignments and daily creates. I am a […]

    February 13, 2020
    The radio show project is something I am really looking forward to. I have been brainstorming ideas since we were told about the assignment. So far I have two ideas: Review movies from the 80s such as The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Back to the Future. We would have a different episode for each movie and go in depth and talk about all the ins and outs of it, any themes we see, and just in general if we liked it or not. Compare and contrast the 80s vs. now. We could talk about the different fashion styles, what […]

    For this assignment we were instructed to create a radio bumper for the DS106 radio station! In all honesty, I was kind of dreading this assignment because I don’t like the sound of my voice on recording but it actually ended up being really fun. I recorded myself on my phone saying a little speech I came up with for the radio station and then sent it to my laptop where I used GarageBand to add some fun guitar riffs to make it sound more real. I’ll be tuning into the radio station tonight so I am hoping to hear […]

    February 11, 2020
    For this assignment we had to create an audio track using different sounds. I decided to use GarageBand because it is what I am most comfortable with. I also decided to use the beats that are already in GarageBand to make it. I decided to make the beat as 80s themed as possible so I chose different beats such as “80s Dance Beat” and “80s Back Beat.” I had a lot of fun with this assignment because I took a Music Technology class last semester and I used a lot of Garage Band so it was cool to be able […]

    I listen to more podcasts than anyone I know. I am a huge mystery podcast person, I am constantly listening to different ones throughout my day. Watching and listening to the different videos and podcasts for this week was really interesting because of my love of the radio. Jad Abumrad’s take on radio was the most interesting though. He talks about how the human voice is such a great tool for radio because of the different ways you can use it. One thing he said that really stuck out to me was this quote: “I’m painting something but I’m not […]

    This week has been my favorite so far. That is probably because of the amount of times I got to use photoshop. If you haven’t figured out I like photoshop so far, you must not read all my other posts 🙂 The first thing I did this week was reflect on my photography skills and my opinion of photography in general. This was fun for me because photography is something I love, even if that means just getting to look at others pictures! I shared some of the recent photography I got to be apart of so make sure to […]

    This challenge was a lot of fun, although it did involve me running around like a mad-women for 20 minutes. We were instructed for 20 minutes to take as many photos from a list that we could. Here was my list: Take a picture of a word or sign that represents the kind of day you’re having. Numbers are all around you. Find your favorite number. Make a photo that represents the end, termination… Make a photograph of the front of a building. Make a photo dominated by your favorite color and share it! Take an extreme close-up of an […]

    80’s Photography

    February 5, 2020
    I LOVED looking at all the old 80s photos!! It was so fun to look at what people were wearing and doing at my age during the 80s. I especially loved looking at the 1980s Music and Pop Culture Photography. One of my favorite photos from this site was one of Freddy Mercury. I love the way that the photographer used the light in the photo (which was one of the tips in the Telling Stories In Photos article). The angles of Freddy along with the brightness of the sun make for a super dynamic and interesting photo. Another photo […]

    February 5, 2020
    For this assignment our instructions were to remove all the color from a photo and then restore the color to one object. I decided to use a photo of me in front of a vibrant yellow door because I thought the pop of color from the door would make the contrast more visible. I used photo shop to first lay down a full color image of the photo. I then went in a laid a black and white image perfectly on top of it. I was then able to cut out the door part of the black and white image […]

    For this assignment we were instructed to combine two different animals to make some sort of hybrid animal. I decided to go with a cat and a dog. I felt like each of these animals had qualities I liked so why not combine them and make the perfect pet! The name of this animal would be “Cog” (a combo of “dog” and “cat”). They would be super high energy and love being outside. They love being played with but also can cuddle up with you and sleep. They are independent when they need to be but also rely on you. […]

    February 5, 2020
    For this assignment we had to take a picture of a pop star and put them into a location where you wouldn’t usually find them. I decided to stick with our 80s theme and use Freddy Mercury from Queen as my pop star. I then decided to put him at the bottom of the ocean. I had a lot of fun with this assignment because I felt like I had a lot of creative freedom. Plus, I got to use photoshop, which I love. I’m sure the fishes enjoyed the underwater performance! PS: This was a 3.5 star assignment..5 stars […]

    I love using photoshop, and especially when it involves photoshopping myself into photos so I was excited for this assignment. When I was looking for a picuture to photoshop myslef I found two I really liked so I decided to use both. The first one was a picture of President Kennedy with his wife. I chose this one because it was an older photo and I wanted to challenge myself to be able to edit my picture to match the old photo. To achieve this I put a black and white filter on the photo and then increased the “grain” […]

    February 4, 2020
    I love everything about photos, I have for as long as I can remember. When I was younger my uncle gave me one of his old Nikon D50 cameras, and I loved it. I would use it everyday, taking pictures of everything from the trees, to my dog, to my friends. I didn’t really understand how photography worked back then, it was more of a hold the camera up and click the button type thing. As I grew up, I stopped using my uncles old camera but I never stopped taking pictures. I am constantly running out of storage on […]

    I started the week off my reading and watching the videos that were posted on the class site. I found them super interesting and liked that I was able to relate what I learned back to things I use everyday. I especially liked the video on the plot graphs of movies. I thought the video had a lot of humor to it which make it more fun to watch. I decided to talk about the movie Sixteen Candles and write a review on its storytelling. I love the movie so it was super easy for me to dissect it and […]
