In DS106 Visual Assignments, I saw this one that instructed to take an ordinary everyday item and play with the colors and tones. I chose my Playstation controller as the item, as we use it every day in our home, and I turned it bright purple while lea...
For my final design assignment for this week, I chose the 3 1/2 star assignment Missing Person assignment. This now puts me at 12 1/2 stars. The assignment said that we didn’t have to have a person missing so I chose to have my dog missing. Now if he ever went missing I think I …
For this 3 star assignment we had to create a postcard. I really liked this assignment for a couple reasons. First, I think postcards are underrated and should be given more credit and shown more love. Second, I was able to look at a bunch of different islands on Google and day dream a little …
For this 3 star assignment, I decided to use the Cool Letters.net website to recreate my name. But instead of using my actual name, I used my character’s name, Flaire. This assignment was fairly easy. There was not much direction except to be creative. I have always wish I could actually write like this, but …
For this 3 star assignment, I decided to change it up a little. I decided to base it off of two things. The first, is what I wear into HQ on a day-to-day basis. The second, an outfit I had to wear on a tactical field mission a few years back. This assignment was originally …
Every day I am always thinking about what I can accomplish, what am I still working on and what do I have to get done today. Thinking about these things also gives me the spare moment to really cherish the things I am in love with the most. My family, ...

This week was so cool because I was able to step out of my comfort zone: audio editing. Wow was I nervous about this week, so let’s take a recap on my journey. Daily Creates This week I started off with the daily creates. Here are my creations and the post explaining my process is
Directions: Make a sick beat, using whatever you can find on freesounds.org, and whatever you can record around you! I don’t care how long it is, just get groovy dood. So I honestly thought I was going to be better at this… I dont know why. I have never in my life created music. I
Directions: We’ve all had to create characters, now it is time to tell their stories. Tell a story pertaining to your character. This can be either from your character’s point of view or it can be told from the perspective of a narrator. Record yourself telling the story and add sound effects or music to
Directions for this assignment were as follows: Say any tongue twister as fast as you can and include a background sound to layer it. “Betty Botter bought some butterBut she said the butter’s bitterIf I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitterBut a bit of better butter will make my batter
This was so much fun! The assignment was to “Create A Ds106 Radio Bumper” I decide to keep the dialogue simple and to the point, thank the audience for listneing and state the radio name. I found the music on https://freesound.org by typing in “spy music.” This sounded the most festive and on theme, and also like
For my sound effect story, I wanted to continue off of another assignment I did earlier in the semester. That assignment had me tell a story through five pictures, so I told the story of how I make coffee. For this assignment, I told the same story but with sound effects I found from https://freesound.org/
Here is the link to my audio reflection: And my weekly assignments: Here are my Daily Creates: This week, I really enjoyed the weekly assignments. I work with music a lot so being able to incorporate it into this class is great.
For this week’s assignment I worked on the “Make your own Mixtape” challenge. I love making playlists for myself and my friends so naturally I was excited to do this assignment. I decided to go with some of my favorite rap and r&b songs for Valentine’s Day
For this week’s assignment I worked on the “Call Me, Beep Me” challenge. For this assignment I play the character of Michael Scott from The Office. In the short sound clip, he is calling the restaurant Wendy’s, thinking he is going to talk to a cute girl named Wendy.
For the first night of the DS106 Radio, the two episodes had very contrasting sound quality. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to tweet along for any of the days, because I was working, but I was able to listen in. Something I found really interesting about this first listening experience was that sound not only was

Professor interviews: Have professors discuss how they ended up at Mary Washington, their journey, and then have them prove that they aren’t actually a secret agent using “Professor” as their cover story. They can also share the time they suspected someone was a secret agent, and how they handled that. Review Bond Movies: This was
For this week’s assignment I worked on the “Make a sick beat” challenge. I spend a lot of time working on music so this assignment jumped out to me. I picked a sound I found on a loop website and spent about 15 minutes laying down the rest of the instruments. The sounds are akin …
How does sound drive stories? I think that sound plays a huge role in diving stories. Moon Graffiti does such a great job of this. The crashing noises to in indicate a much harsher impact of the landing on the moon. The crackling white noise that makes you feel as though the audio is old
This week was kinda challenging in my opinion. Using Audacity was kinda hard to figure out and I still don’t have as good a grasp on it as I would like. I’m still working at it though. I was able to have some fun with all the different assignments. I don’t know why, but I …
Since we cannot view what is happening, our only sense of direction with the story comes from what we hear. The ambience, random beeping really shows just how dormant and empty the Moon really is. It’s hard to find a quiet moment on earth, but you the story makes you feel like could hear a …
This is a very interesting radio show. I really liked the stories that were told in segments. It related back to all the audio assignments we had to do this week. The different sounds during the stories kinda helped tell you where the scene was taking place. And the different sounds helped create the overall …
