Assignment (3.5 stars) I am a very busy man, but some days it is nice to think of how a perfect day for me would go. I would wake up in the morning, and have a nice breakfast. I would then get ready to head to my studio where we produce the Edward Creeper Show.… Read More

Assignment (4 stars) This week, I met up with Victor Barethean for a nice lunch. I had never met Victor before, but I had heard of him during my time hosting the Edward Creeper Show.

Assignment (3 stars) After cooking all afternoon, the Red Reaper finally arrived at my house a little after 6:00 PM. This was only the day after we had finished recording our segments for the Edward Creeper Show, so we were both still a bit worn out. However, I thought it would be nice to sit… Read More

On Tuesday night, I listened to the Smooth and Spooky Variety Show.

Week 7 in ds106 was all about our radio show. I was a bit worried about this at first, as I was not sure what I wanted to do, or who I could be in a group with. However, I found three other classmates (Ellen, Felicia, and Gussie) and we started to develop ideas for… Read More

Assignment (3.5 stars) For this assignment, I chose to mashup the songs Africa by Toto, and Calm Before the Storm by Darude. I chose these two songs because Calm Before the Storm is a techno song with only a few lyrics, very much unlike Africa. I thought that these two songs would make for an… Read More

Assignment (3 stars) For this assignment, we had to find a song and reverse the music, to make the song sound somewhat different, but still similarly enough that people can guess what it is based on 3 clues. Because of copyright fears, I have just uploaded the song directly to WordPress, instead of SoundCloud. This… Read More

For this assignment, I chose to watch the movie Black Sabbath on Netflix. This movie, an Italian horror film, has three separate stories, “The Telephone”, “The Wurdalak”, and “The Drop of Water.” This is an older film, which is evident by the quality and dialog of characters. There are some interesting design aspects of this… Read More

However, these two first met at a dance one Friday night, and… Read More

The Vignelli Canon was an informative read for me, and had many design tips and elements that I had never thought of before. As for the booklet itself, I thought it had an interesting look, and I like how some of his design elements were placed on the pages themselves, such as when he talked about… Read More
