Weekly Summary This week was a lot of fun surprisingly! I say surprisingly because when I first opened Audacity I was terrified of it. I thought it was going to be impossible to learn how to use it, but I was wrong. It was actually very straightforward and easy to operate. My only complaint about […]

For the Triple Rocktroll Lyrics (2 stars), I choose a picture of Slash because Guns n’ Roses was my favorite band for a long time. I’ve heard people confuse ACDC and Guns n’ Roses before (I don’t know how) so I choose some lyrics to to You shook me all night long by ACDC, and then I attributed …

I wanted to do the Long distance relationship assignment (2,5 stars), because my fiancé and I did long distance for almost a year combined. There were no instructions for the assignment, but in order to kind of illustrate what our LDR was like, I put together a collage. On a daily basis it was selfies and good …

To kick off this design week, I did the Destination postcard assignment (3 stars). I decided to use a picture I took of my hometown a few years ago and added some text. I really didn’t feel like I needed to do much more, the picture is nice and speaks for itself I think. It’s a beautiful …

Have you ever closed your eyes while watching television? Or perhaps, you are like me and have a show tuned on while in another room just out of eyesight? In the virtual classroom, we mimicked that experience with a few minor differences. If we missed something or were unable to decipher what was happening based …

So my idea for the radio show, since it’s superhero themed and all would be interviews with our superheroes! We’ve all created a superhero, so wouldn’t it be kinda cool for us all to each “interview” our fictional superheroes? Just a thought!

I struggled with this assignment because I had a perfect playlist picked out, buuuuut those were all songs that I couldn’t upload to soundcloud because of copyright issues.

September 28, 2017

“Moon Graffiti” grabs you right from the moment you start listening. The producers achieve this primarily using two distinct styles when introducing the story. NPR’s “How Audio Stories Begin” describe these techniques as diving immediately into the narrative and introducing a mystery. We are confronted with alarms signaling a sense of danger and urgency, as …
