This week was a pretty difficult week for me. I have never experimented with audio and editing audio, so it was kind of hard to get the hang of it, […]
The first daily create I did was on Tuesday, and it was saying if there was a competition to find the best bird, which bird would you choose and why? […]
For this assignment, I watched 2 videos with Jad Abumrad: How Radio Creates Empathy and Digital Shamanism and Old-Fashioned, Newfangled Storytelling Magic. I also listened to “Moon Graffiti” on Soundcloud. […]
For this assignment, I had to create a 10-30 second radio bumper. This was difficult for me because I had no idea how to create a radio bumper. I looked […]
Another audio assignment bank I did was Create a Place, which has 4 stars. I had to create a place using just sounds. I chose to create the beach. I […]
For this audio assignment bank, I did A Collection Of Your Favorite Sounds, which had a 2 star value. I picked 5 of my favorite sounds that I enjoy hearing, […]
On Monday, I listened to the ds106 radio and participated in a live “tweet-along.” I tweeted the whole time about all of the different sounds and voices I heard, and […]
Here are some of my ideas for a collaborative radio show! share funny stories/memories from our childhood talk about our highs and lows of college – favorite memories, hardest assignments, hardest classes, friends we made, etc. talk about our majors – what we love about it, what we hate, how people reacted when we told […]
This was my first time live tweeting while listening to something. The story itself was super creepy and kind of made me question my own dreams and why they happen. The sounds in this story were so unique to the time period, from the static of the microphone, to the old school sound effects used. […]
When thinking about what my daily life sounds like, I though a lot about my work life. I work retail and getting up and going to work is a DRAG, but ya know, gotta get that $$. So, I thought it would be funny to make a shortened version of my daily struggle to get […]
For my third assignment for this week, I chose to do a Ted Talk. The assignment was to listen to the way the speaker emphasized words and pauses, and try to recreate it using his speech. I’m always super nervous when it comes to public speaking, so this was definitely something that I needed practice […]
In the assignment bank this week, there was an assignment to change a rap song lyrics to post apocalyptic lyrics. I got the idea to change the “post apocalyptic” part to something Covid-19 related. This song came on the radio a few months ago and I substituted “September” with “Corona” and thought it would be […]
Below is my version of an ad on an 80’s radio commercial! I had background music that was popular in the 80’s and found a product that is actually becoming popular again!
Here is my radio bumper for ds106 radio! It was definitely a little strange making this. I tried to make my voice as smooth as possible (like most radio dj’s) but tried to make it fun and upbeat!
After listening to Moon Grafiti, it is evident what a key role sound plays in our ability to visualize information. Sound has the ability to set moods and create emotions. When listening to Moon Grafiti, I felt like I was there, in that moment, listening to them. The sound was so raw and real, the […]
This week was pretty good with assignments. I had a lot of fun and got to be very creative. First, I did 12 stars of visual assignment banks. I did […]
For this assignment, I read Telling Stories in Photos and tried to find examples of the different points and analyze them in photos I have taken. This picture I took […]
Where I live is SUPER boring. I live on a pretty busy road so there’s no where I can really walk to take pictures and I was unable to devote the time this week to get out to a park due to my work and school schedule. So, with that in mind, please enjoy my […]
For my first visual assignment bank, I chose You In Collage Form, which had 2 stars. I had to create a collage with images and words that describe me or […]
For as many times as I say this phrase, I don’t have a lot of pictures to laugh at or reference when I think about this sentence. But, I was able to dig up a super old photo of a carseat strapped to the top of a van in the Walmart parking lot… Lots of […]
