    – final reflection –

    by
    Oh my god, we did it. We made it to the end…HOLY CRAP. I honestly didn’t think these 5 weeks would go by so fast, but D A N G. I’m a little emotional. So first off, let me just say that I thoroughly enjoyed this class. It was amazing to learn how to create and design things I never…

    by
    It’s barely morning when she wakes up. The sounds of the outdoor world penetrating through her windows softly. She finds comfort within the confines of her house, away from the rustle and bustle of the city she sees from her window. Her daily routine she finds safety in all of it’s perfection: She prefers to wake up in the afternoon…

    – week four reflection –

    by
    You know, despite the minimal amount of assignments this week…it was definitely a bit of a struggle to complete in a timely manner. Regardless of the struggle, it’s definitely awesome to be in my element of creating and editing videos. In terms of completing the assignments to the best of my abilities, I think I did an ok job for…

    by
    First the horror noise and now where’s Talky Tina? I will not sleep tonight. #ds106 #tdc2019 this class is trying to give me nightmares… pic.twitter.com/2v8oK8cUFk — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 20, 2017 If you can find Tina, you win the prize of being observant. And hopefully the ability to sleep without nightmares. Were you able to find her? Taylor

    I almost uploaded a video of Shiro from Voltron yelling “Pidge” as a sound of horror…you’re welcome. #ds106 #tdc2018 i have slight chronophobia so this sound is awful to me…https://t.co/WDllOjdz6K — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 19, 2017 For today, we had to record a sound that was horrifying…I initially wanted to do a Voltron scene but then realized I had to…

    the golden ratio – how to read movies –

    by
    For today’s reflection, I decided to start off the week by reading the late and great, Roger Ebert’s article on how to read a movie. Ebert begins his article with a look into how he first become interested in movies and how movies bring along people who are able to answer questions that one may have in regards to culture…

    I cannot tell you all how confused I was with today’s daily create… i was told to make art with numbers????? #ds106 #tdc2017 pic.twitter.com/hznSsoz2WC — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 18, 2017 I was so confused and the only way I could comprehend it was either with binary code or stupid calculator tricks (?) and I chose the latter. So here’s a…

    – week three reflection –

    by
    What an awesome week it was and I promise that’s not sarcasm. I was definitely excited for this portion of the class but also quite nervous because I hate doing voice overs or recording…it’s such an uncomfortable feeling. In terms of this week overall; I think I completed the assignments accordingly and hopefully a little bit above and beyond. This…

    by
    Are you ready to hear Taylor’s manly voice? I don’t think the world is ready for this opportunity. Anyways, for today’s audio assignment, I did a text impersonation! And lord have mercy on my soul, I did so many takes of this that I couldn’t even… So the text I used for this impersonation was by the awesome tumblr user…

    magnificent desolation – moon graffiti –

    by
    The final post of the day! Huzzah!!! For today’s audio reflection, I finally listened to “Moon Graffiti” and oh boy, I loved it. For those of you who don’t know, I love space…I love watching live streams from a satellite, stars, space robot battles and the such. I wasn’t too sure what to expect with “Moon Graffiti” however. The beginning…

    by
    Oh yeah! I was born to type with comic sans… Today’s daily create was the design a doctorate degree of some sort for the DS106 program and I think I did a freakin’ phenomenal job if I do say so myself. #ds106 #tdc2011 comic sans is honestly appropriate for all occassions; can i be a doctor now? pic.twitter.com/uPf39PBzoQ — Taylor…

I AM. #ds106 #tdc2010 i am so ashamed…this was an awful attempt pic.twitter.com/7QsdatkpA8 — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 11, 2017 Today’s daily create was a tough one; you had to play “telephone” with a single word where you can only change, delete, or add one letter…and it was awful.…

    student life – audio assignment –

    by
    Last post of the day, can I get a hollah!? Today I did my first attempt at editing audio and completed the required audio assignment, sound effects story. I’m actually quite pleased with how it came out though it’s not an exciting tale…it is one that I relate to personally. The story I wished to portray was one that I…

    Welcome to week three! It’s our hump week, classy right? So, I’m noticing this week that we have a lot of reading and experimenting to do and let me tell you what…I’m going to need it.

    – week two reflection –

    by
    Oh hey! We’re finally done with week two! So this week was all about graphic design and I felt kind of bittersweet about it. I love graphic design when it doesn’t require animation, but I was definitely going to try my best regardless. Overall, I think I completed the assignments rather well…I did have to go back and update a…

    dear virginia drivers – design assignment –

    by
    Well hello again. I decided to do a 4-star design assignment rather than re-doing one from earlier this week because…reasons. But for today’s assignment I went ahead and did the PSA Billboard which I found very rewarding. For those of you who don’t know…I absolutely despise a good 99% of Virginia drivers. I have literally driven in other states and…

    Finally!!! The last post of the week before tomorrow’s summary. CAN I GET AN AMEN? For today’s daily create, we were asked to take a photo of something from a different perspective…I think I was able to conquer that in a nice and poetic manner. #ds106 #tdc2006 i normally like to look at nature through the perspective of blooming colors…

    get rekt, nerds – design assignment –

    by
    Oh lord, what have I done now. This week’s final design assignment was one I’ve been wanting to do for a while…design a t-shirt. Having been blogging for 5 years, t-shirt designs are something I have done once or twice for promoting purposes rather than franchising. Say for instance, when I go to a concert or a relatively large event,…
