Heya! Here’s my Daily Creates for Week 8. Of these two, my favorite was the first one! It was fun and relaxing to “drive” through a beautiful place while listening to a radio. It reminded me of the times this summer that I would go for drives by myself near my house while listening to […]

It’s more likely than you think. (And no, it’s not time travel!) I harnessed the powers of Adobe Photoshop in order to create my radio show promo for this week. Here’s the final product! I didn’t expect this to be quite as fun an assignment as I thought, but I was pleasantly surprised that I […]

As part of my contribution to our radio show, I created a radio bumper! For my first bumper, I didn’t introduce myself; I made it more of an advertisement for the radio station in general. This time, I wanted to give it a more personal touch, since it might be airing on our show. Here’s […]

This week I created a radio commercial for our radio show! When you are driving in the car and a radio commercial comes on you might start to tune the radio out. But, if you were the person selling what the commercial was offering would you want people tuning it out or listening intently? Well, […]

This week, I only ended up doing two Daily Creates…I had been planning on doing three, but I forgot a day (yikes!).

Yesterday, I met with my radio show group to kickstart our project! Our team is myself, Ari, Meghan, Conner, and Morgan. The general theme we picked was childhood & our college experiences. It was great meeting with them—since this class is online and asynchronous, I’ve barely met anyone over Zoom or any other meeting software, […]

When I was much younger, my parents introduced me and my sister to the movie The Court Jester. For me, this 1955 classic was my first medieval/fairytale-themed rom-com movie I ever saw—The Princess Bride is the second one I can think of. One of the assignments I picked this week from the Design Assignments in […]

Well, hello! Here’s this week’s Daily Creates that I participated in. These were all fun! My favorite Daily Create was probably the first one—I enjoyed looking through pictures of my cats to find ones that I thought were particularly adorable and/or hilarious. Additionally, I completed this Daily Create on the day it was published, but […]

When I participated in Week 3’s Daily Creates, I didn’t expect to do anything with my creations later on. I had thought that I really liked my caution sign (“Caution: Weapons of Mass Percussion”), and it would be fun to have on a t-shirt or something. That’s why I decided to do the Design Assignment […]

Although I haven’t ever really thought about becoming a graphic designer, and I don’t think that’s what’s in store for me in the future, thinking about visual design and reading and watching this week’s assigned material was quite fascinating for me. The first couple things I checked out were the videos “Movie Poster Expert Explains […]

As I scrolled through the Design Assignments in the ds106 Assignment Bank, an image caught my eye: At first glance, I thought it said “Memelets”, not Mermlet’s. My misreading paired with the title of the assignment (“Create a Logo that is simple but detailed”) inspired my idea for a fictional company that created memes and […]

Everyone, gather ’round! It’s time for you to hear the story of the legendary jukebox hero. This story was born before I began ds106, but when I saw the Audio Bank assignment “Create a story using music”, I knew the world deserved to hear the tale. The assignment had only two sentences of description: “Create […]

This week’s ds106 focus is audio! Since we’ve got a ds106 radio station, one of the assignments was to create a radio bumper. In order to make it, I downloaded Audacity (an audio editing tool) and used it for the first time. Here’s the exact instructions for the bumper from the Assignment Bank: Now that […]

Even better than a football blitz. Photoblitz is an activity where you take photos of seven things within 20 minutes. This was my list of seven items: Smooth, rough, dirty, or wrinkled. Make a photo of hands that tell a story. They’re all around. Make a photograph of a wheel near you. Make a portrait […]

I’ve never lived without having pets before; I couldn’t imagine life without them. Sugar, Shadow, and Stormy all mean so much to me, so when I saw the assignment “Your love for your pet”, I couldn’t help but pick it as one of my assignments for the week. Here’s the description: Make a collage out […]

When you mix a favorite fandom with a love for world and character building, what do you get? A bit of daydreaming of domestic fluff that can result in creating grocery lists and post-it notes. I’m a fan of Marvel movies, and I find it fun to imagine what the Avengers are like outside of […]

Hi! You’re about to experience—through gifs—five things I do (nearly) every day. I chose the visual assignment “GIF Animate Your Day Like Ben” because 1) I like gifs, and 2) I thought it would be fun to make gifs of moments throughout my day. Ben Rimes regularly takes a day (February 2012 and December 2012) to capture […]

I wouldn’t call myself a photographer, but the art of taking photographs has always intrigued me. When I was 10 years old, my parents bought me a Canon Powershot ELPH 100 HS for my birthday. I remember being SO excited to have my own camera. At the time, we had a “family camera”, which was […]

In the summer of 2019, before I started my first year of college, my family took a trip out west to California for 2 weeks. We had never gone on any vacation like this before, and it was absolutely amazing. This was why, when I saw the assignment “Story Map”, I knew I had to […]
