For my Mashup Assignments, I mashed together two songs and created a contradictory movie poster. For remix assignments, I remixed the music of GIFs and moo moo says the GIF. This week I also participated in the Daily Create on Twitter, and read and...

This assignment said to post a GIF of cows (any kind). The remix said to: “Redo an assignment with a darkness theme of anguished youth- use black colors and metal sounds.” I like using Giphy.com for GIF assignments. For this one, I struggled to find one that works, before I found this one, which I […]

The assignment I followed said to post a gif that suggests music or dancing in some way. Remix: “Molly taught us all that everything is prettier in pink, so make that assignment more pink somehow, either literally or metaphorically.” I used Giphy to complete this assignment. I immediately thought of two movies: Pretty in Pink […]

November 12, 2021

Create a poster or ad for an upcoming movie. Let the ad’s theme and movie contradict themselves. For instance, you can have your movie be about kids playing on a Summer day, but your ad shows a spooky side to the plot. A good “everything is not what it seems” kicker. Your movie could be […]

Mashup two (or more!) songs that are similar to each other, by either the same or different artist(s). Do your best to show the similarities—edit parts of the songs next to each other. If it’s possible to do this without making it sound terrible, try to overlay the songs at parts to highlight how much […]

This week, I completed 10 stars of video assignments. I did the video assignment and the time lapse assignment.

I did the time lapse video assignment. This assignment says to create a time lapse from one single location so you can see how the location changes over time.

I really liked Kendra’s idea of making a podcast about the different areas of creativity you can develop in ds106.

I was not expecting it to be so hard to brainstorm ideas. There are so many directions we could take the project! An idea I’ve been thinking about that keeps with our Bob Ross theme is maybe recreating one of his paintings following one of his videos. I want it to be a painting that […]

Yesterday I listened to The Undergraduate Monster Wash radio show on ds106 radio. I really enjoyed this show! The group used consistent sound effects and background music throughout to really set the scene and add a spooky theme to the stories they were telling. The voice acting in each story also added to how well […]

This article really got me thinking about how much of what I see on a day to day basis has been designed by someone, like street signs, posters, food packaging, etc. It’s something that can easily be overlooked. People put their creativity and effort into designing these common things around us. I also thought it […]
