Well hello again. It’s Friday. Oh yes. Animated gifs…my worst nightmare. Once again, I had so much trouble with this crap. I downloaded VLC to help me obtain the frames from the video and it wasn’t working because (J’m assuming) I didn’t give it admin…but like heck I will because I don’t know if this program is corrupted and what…

IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN. One of our main assignments this week was to go around and take pictures of objects or ads that demonstrate the concepts we read over the week. I was unable to take my camera to work, but I was able to go out today and get a few things I felt were usable for this! The…

Oh look! Another Pidge inspired design. For today’s design assignment, I chose a fun one; creating a motivational poster. I wanted to originally do something sarcastic or “meme-ful” but alas…I’m not feeling any sarcasm rolling out of my brain and last night was filled with Voltron binging. So, here’s some Pidge instead. Isn’t she precious? (Yes, she’s a girl and…

Well happy Thursday to you all! Today’s daily create was a cute yet traumatic one…considering I’ve cracked my phone 3 times. #DS106 #TDC2005 i feel no shame… pic.twitter.com/FfzCYF2WbZ — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 6, 2017 First off, they provided the transparent iPhone picture so that was easy enough. The last photo I took that wasn’t work or school related was a…

Hallelujah, this was a pain. Welp, I never thought the day would come where I would create a gif by myself. I thought it would be a bit easier, however I was wrong. So, so wrong. First off, let me tell you how frustrating GIMP is in terms of creating a gif from a video. I downloaded the latest version…

It’s the third…or fourth day of the week. I need coffee. Today’s design assignment is something I found to be quite cool…but it’s also a game. A game without a prize…sorry. Today’s assignment is called “Four Icons/One Story” and I immediately knew what movie I was going to do. Like always, I used PicMonkey for editing and found the icons…

Last post for today, I promise! Today’s daily create was a little difficult for me. We had to create an invoice for a hyperlink wanting customer trying to purchase a Lamborghini…and my imagination got in the way. #ds106 #tdc2003 welp, they're broke. pic.twitter.com/5B3ZWZ9CLw — Taylor (@simplytelling) July 5, 2017 So, my first dilemma was I ONLY HAVE MY MACBOOK ON…

Who else is posting multiple times a day to keep up with this curriculum? Let me first say that when I initially saw “The Vignelli Canon,” I thought this would be a manual for Canon cameras. I’m not proud of it, but hopefully others could relate. Anyways, this little book is only 49 pages long which is nice, but despite…

Happy Fourth everyone! For today’s design assignment, I chose to do a cute little post card from one of my favorite places in Virginia. I had a wee bit of frustration with this design. I had initially downloaded a specific vintage font for this postcard but for some odd reason, PicMonkey wasn’t picking it up so I had to make…

Talk about a difficult assignment, eh? For today’s design assignment, I went ahead and did the required assignment where we cut out a person or people from a photo and place them somewhere else. My poor fiancé is going to be thrilled with the picture I chose… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I’m sorry, I had to get that out of the way. A…

Well, hello to week two! I was almost afraid I was going to miss today’s daily create…darn you summer heat and the need to be poolside!! Today’s daily create was to show our “growlery.” I honestly had no idea such a word existed until this tweet, but I am slowly learning to love it. #ds106 #tdc2002 i have two places…

This week is coming to a close and to be honest, this has probably been the most stressful week out of the entirety of my college career.  I do not mean it in a bad way, however because of the amount of posts and assignments that need to be done, planning and scheduling has become my best friend.  This week…

We have finally reached the last post for the week before tomorrow’s summary…WHOO. How was this week for you all? It’s definitely the most amount of posts I have created within a week. But for the last assignment of the week, we’re going over photos I took after reading the photography tips provided. To be honest, photography is a frustrating…

Greetings all! Today’s visual assignment was one that caught my eye…specifically because of the memes. I chose the “Pop Star Out of Place” assignment because you can literally throw our favorite virtual diva into any realistic situation and it’s definitely out of place but also quite funny. So of course, I chose a Donald Trump rally…for reasons. I found a…

It’s time for arts and crafts kids! For this visual assignment, I had initially wanted to do this IRL with actual materials like doilies, flowers, and what not. Unfortunately, time did not permit the shopping for said materials and so I chose to do it digitally: A little part of me is happy I decided to stick to digital media…

Well hello! Today’s daily create was to create a dream band with dead, alive, or fictional folks. Um, I felt a little weird doing this because I’m not really familiar…or rather into American music so I wasn’t too sure about participating in this daily create, but I DID IT ANYWAYS. #ds106 #tdc1998 i'm not too familiar with american music at…

It’s the final post of the day, I promise!! Today I attempted the “Photo Safari” challenge and I think I did a lot better than expected. I had a lot of fun with this challenge to be honest. My friend had just moved into her new apartment and she has a lot of goodies around to take pictures of along…

Ah, yes. My love for Gundam lately is unreal and the visual assignment I chose for today was essentially a movie poster parody. Let’s just say, my love for memes exceeds many things. Here’s what I ended up with after dwelling all day on what movie to parody… I can’t say that I am particularly proud of this, but dang…

Hello guys! It’s a tad late…whoops. Today’s daily create was to post a bicycle and after scrolling through my phone, I remembered a cute bicycle I had seen down in Massaponax at my favorite vintage store. #ds106 #tdc1997 a rather lovely way to decorate a bike, in my honest opinion pic.twitter.com/izUQPd2p8C — Taylor (@simplytelling) June 29, 2017 I had taken…

Ah, yes. The final post for today…what better way than to end it with a fart joke. The 24-year-old in me is displeased with this sense of humor, but the 12-year-old in me is giggling uncontrollably. So, for this visual assignment, we were to create a “spubble” with pictures of ourselves. This picture is from my last vacation to California…

I love a class that allows me to meme. Today’s my first daily create and it was a lovely picture of Queen Elizabeth and her son, Prince Charles and I have never related to royalty more than in that moment… #ds106 #tdc1996 I speak from personal experience pic.twitter.com/gWk1pe3McB — Taylor (@simplytelling) June 28, 2017 I honestly edited this on my…

Well, hello to all of my fellow classmates and random folks stopping by! I wanted to do a fun little post today where I use multiple platforms to introduce myself to you all and hope that you’ll find me hip enough to be a university student. Please note that my “About” page is currently up and running should you like…
