For my first day of sounds, I recorded sounds while I was inside. I don’t feel that they gave an adequate representation of my day, so in this combination, I mixed them with another day of sounds from my time outside, inspired by the warm weather. …
This show on March 14, 2022, starting at 8, discussed whether 9/11 was an inside job or a terrorist attack.
The show was unscripted, making it feel more like a debate. It was a feature that a lot of people on discord seemed to like. However, I feel …

This blog is being taken over by the ASU for very important business. We are compiling our knowledge on a strange and mysterious place known as Shadow Fredericksburg. This is not for civilian eyes. If you are a civilian, please turn away and pretend you never saw this.
Thank …
This assignment is a remix that combines two older ones. Those assignments are Word, which I used for The Best Word Ever! and the Sound Effects Story like I used in And Then There Was None.

Last week for my assignments I created my bumper and commercial for the show.
ScriptFirst thing first-We decided to each have our own segments and I planned what I wanted to say for my segment, and then I wrote the script for my part.…
Behold the poster that promotes my group’s radio show. If it doesn’t make you want to listen I don’t know what will.
Team Work Makes the Dream Work–
Here is the progress report for my group radio show work.
Daily Create 1The picture …
So this week my team, after achieving contact, decided to do a show on college advice for incoming freshmen. Since I’m a freshman myself and my partners are seniors, we certainly have a variety of perspectives on the subject. Hopefully, our show will help listeners find the same joy in …
Taken from the Make Your Own Radio Commercial! assignment, I have created a commercial for my group’s radio show. Since it was going to be about college advice one thing I would advise an incoming student to do is join the fencing club because fencing is a lot of fun!…
For this assignment, I had to create a poster for my group’s up-and-coming Radioshow.
How I made it-To make it I used my favorite, Canva. I searched for colorful templates and this one popped up. I edited the text in order to make it say what I …
Since the radio show is dealing with advice for college students, I went in that direction with my bumper. I hope our advice will help and bring a little joy to the listeners.
CreationI used SoundTrap to make the bumper. I began by recording the message. I actually used …
On a trip downtown I looked at the different signs I encountered and three of them were examined further for the designblitz. The fourth I found on the UMW campus.
Here I examine the required reading and think about ways it might impact my …
The Box in the Woods is a book by Maureen Johnson. It details a high-stakes treasure hunt surrounding a mysterious box in the woods, containing a treasure rumored to grant magic powers to someone worthy. Along the way the brave adventurers deal with pirates encounter monsters you would only ever …
My happy little snail!
What’s not to love about snails? They are perfect in every snail-ish way. There really isn’t much more I can say except looking at this should make you happy.
Assignment-For the assignment, Spreadsheet Invasion, I had to reclaim Excel and make it fun again …
I think what stood out for me most in the articles is that graphic design is not, as Kidd says, “purposeful planning that uses any combination of forms, pictures, words, and meanings to achieve one’s goal,” but is in a way, problem-solving. I think that’s an interesting way of …
Without a doubt haphazardly is the best word in the English language. It’s fun to say, the meaning is fun, and it’s got a prefix and suffix!
How I made it-To make this I used Canva. I, using Open Sans, made some letters large, some uppercase, and placed …
Red can be associated with danger and I’m assuming there is danger if you enter where it says do not enter. The red is also highly visible, drawing attention to it, much like a stop sign. And even if you are colorblind the contrast between the red …
One Small Sound, One Large Story–
In this reflection, I thought about how sound can be used to tell a story.
My ideas for the radio show summarized all in one post!
My radio bumper!
For Sounds of Your Day, I had to record different sounds from my day and put them all together. These were the sounds I recorded using the voice memo app on my phone on February 6, 2022. I placed them together using SoundTrap. I then uploaded them to …
I tuned into the show slightly late due to a class. Since I didn’t think I was going to be able to listen to any of these live, it was better to be late in the end, I guess.
That’s me! My username sucks because I first made discord last…
For this assignment, 80’s Product Radio Commercial, I had to make a commercial for a product from the 80’s. To create it I got the background music from Mixkit and recorded my audio on the computer. I put them together using SoundTrap.
I choose this assignment because it …
To create my radio bumper I used Audacity to layer and mix. It was a bit harder to use than SoundTrap, but it seemed to have more options. I used SoundBible and 101soundboards for the Bob Ross clips. I thought they went with the theme since the radio …
When it comes to radio show ideas, I think it’s difficult to brainstorm since we are forming groups and I don’t really want to be too set on an idea. I think group work is always worse when everyone is set on a different idea beforehand and has a …
The sound drives the story by, as Abumrad says (videos below), helping you paint an image in your head. He also seems to point to a connection between the storyteller and the audience. While the storyteller can give you details, every listener will imagine the story in their mind slightly …
For the assignment Sound Effects Story, I had to tell a story using only sound in less than 90 seconds. To create it I collected sound effects from SoundBible, Shockwave, BBC Sound Effects archive, and fesliyanstudios. I mixed and layered them using SoundTrap. I then …
To start this week I worked on a reflection of my photography up until now.
This is what I did for the photo blitz challenge.
This post talks about elements of photography from some of my previous pictures.…
You may have heard of Shadow Fredericksburg? Well, as often happens when someone puts out warnings, others select to ignore them. One stupid soul ventured into this dark realm in the hopes of gaining inspiration for their painting. This is their story.
When Alberto couldn’t …
Instead of taking a bunch of random pictures, this was one that was purposely selected to capture the light, since I liked the way it looked through my camera. The moment, I think, worked well since at any other moment the light would have shown differently through the window. The …
In a moment no one could have predicted, killer birds descended upon campus. Faculty and staff have attempted to chase away these birds but to no avail. The birds seem here to stay whether we want them or not.
One brave student attempted to paint these birds and reported that …
It’s time, as the title says, to get up close and personal. Prepare yourself to be closer than comfortable with… What even is that?
Leave your guesses in the comments. If I get three I shall reveal what this mysterious object is and if someone gets it right you can …
