This will be a short article, because there is only one real point, and one real fix to this issue.
Why is it people protesting always seem to be young? Especially now with the rise and fall of the Bern, the growth of Trump, the increase in …
Divestment has become a big issue. Heck, The Blue and Gray Press (and all its glory) has the word “Divestment” in big print on practically every one of its cover pages. I am on the President’s Council on Sustainability (PCS), and was also on the Subcommittee on Divestment that just …
With the semester done and Digital Storytelling finishing up, I figured I’d make a best of post for the class. I had a lot of products I liked, and some not so much. Here are my favorites:
The Serious:
The Minimalistic Poster. This one was easy to do, but I…
The first two things I did were my tutorials. I chose these two because they were photo editing, and I feel that is my strongest suit (if I am going to offer help to others). Another point I wanted to make using these is that photo editing software is great, …
ALARM CLOCK SOUND ON FLICKR
God. Really? 6 am already? Man it sucks getting old. Whatever, let’s just get this over with. The line is going to be long at the airport. I’ll call the cab now. God I hate these business trips. MOM MOM MOM MOM MOMMY MOMMY WAKE…
First off, I’m Jewish! It’s ok. This post could be considered offensive, consider this a way to start a dialogue about horrific events, a social commentary, a part of the grieving process, or just a plain old joke. Whatever makes you feel satisfied. There are no safe spaces, no trigger …
This is a tutorial for The “Bring your pet to school” assignment, worth 3 stars in the design section.
This tutorial goes about this process in a different way, that can be done on any PC. One unknown tool that I believe to be severely underutilized is Microsoft PowerPoint’s photo …
This week focused on remixes and mashup. This was a tricky week as it also related to copyright and those laws associated with it. While we focused on what a remix is, what we also looked at was the legal and ethical dilemmas associated with the use/changing of someone else’s …
For this mashup, we were tasked to combine a place we go to, with what we buy from them. My thought went straight to Domino’s Pizza (I was sitting in front of a box). I realized it had holes in the dice, why not pizzas? It is what they primarily …
First off, what is a remix? A remix is any mashup that’s not an original. It is a combination of multiple unoriginal things to make something new.
This leads to a series of ethical dilemmas. If its not the original, should it be credited? Should whoever made the original be …
This assignment was to mix two movies subtlety (which typically is not my strong suit). I chose this one because it seemed like a very interesting topic, and I really enjoy editing pictures.
To do this, I wanted to combine two polar opposites. I figured I’d start with the main …
This assignment was to show the evolution of a character throughout a TV show. I had multiple options to think of for this, but I wanted to make it flow. To do this, I thought of an introduction theme I could use and though of the Simpsons, and the though …
For these remixes, I ended up clicking through a couple until I found one that made sense to do. I got the assignment was to remix “DS106 Bumper Sticker,” but “swede-it.” I am not quite hip to the new lingo, but it struck me as to make it swedish(?).
So …
These weeks were focused on us making our own videos.
For this I did 5 daily creates:
The meaning of life. For this, I wanted to really portray the meaning of 42: there is no meaning. And if there was, do we really want to know it? The song …
