Thoughts on Design
Like I’ve said in past blog posts, I really am not the most design-intuitive. But my brother sure is, being...

Less is More
I am all about the “less is more” phenomenon. Minimalism has become very popular and I feel that this picture represents this very well int he design aspect. This is a picture of a friend’s nails that I happened to notice. Minimalism is also very expressionistic in nature. Minimalism can be achieved by using only … -
Blessed not Stressed
I have this quote saved on my iPad as a wallpaper, and I decided to use it for this assignment. This photo is meant to represent typography. Not only is this a great quote, how it is displayed is important to this assignment. The background makes you feel clam and relaxed with the warm colors. … -
Proportion of Depth
I am out on trails that overlook the water quite a bit. I took this yesterday and I realized that I could use this for the design blitz assignment! As defined on the Design Resource page, “Proportion is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in scale between one element … -

If I had a band…
by @carrie_vogel February 19, 2019This probably would not be its name nor its colors. But here in this visual assignment, I utilized randomizer generators to gather a Band Name, Album Title, and Album Artwork. I put them all together and here’s what I got! -

Playing with Colors
by @carrie_vogel February 18, 2019In 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... -
Lost Dog!
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 … -
Bora Bora
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 … -
My Name Re-Written
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 … -
Designer Duds
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 … -
A Story for Your Eyes
by @carrie_vogel February 17, 2019Every 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, ... -

Ds106 Radio Bumper
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 -
Sound Effect Story
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/ -

DS106 Radio Reflection
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 -
