Radio Show Kool-Aid Commercial
Here is a commercial I created for my group’s radio show, 80’s Brain Cells You Forgot About! My boyfriend helped record this with me. I always thought these Kool-Aid commercials were pretty silly, so I wanted to do a bit of parody of one for this 5 star assignment. I got the riff in the … -

Radio Show Promo
Shockingly, I really like how my promo poster turned out. I’m not usually one for creativity and design, but I think I did relatively well. I do wish I had explored the fonts more, and now that I’m looking at it, fixed the placement of “riding the,” to fit the wave more, but it’s not ... Read moreRadio Show Promo -

Weekly Summary 7
The main focus of this week was very clearly placed on setting up and beginning work for our group radio show. It was a little slow starting, because most of us didn’t know each other, but it ended up going really well and was a lot more fun than I expected. I’m really looking forward… -
Are You a Cool Kid?
In a very productive edition of audio assignments, I was instructed to make a radio commercial for an 80’s product. This actually worked out perfectly because for my upcoming group radio show assignment, we need to have commercials, so this gave me an opportunity to multipurpose my work to achieve two goals. For some reason… -
Tongue Twister CHAMP
In yet another edition of audio assignment, I was tasked to become the tongue twister champion of the world. Not really, but it may as well have been that with how difficult it is for me to get through a tongue twister even once. The goal was to quickly say a tongue twister and and… -

Ultimate Workout Mix!
For today’s edition of audio assignments, I was tasked with making a mix tape. It seemed like a fun thing to do, because with all the new software and platforms out these days like pandora and spotify, I haven’t sat down and made my own mix tape or playlist in years. As more of a… -

This week was busier than I was expecting. It took some time getting our group together and getting our ideas organized. In the end, I think we came up with a really cool idea and the radio show is going to be fun. The daily creates were cute this week! I love the ones where… -
Radio Show Promo!
This is a simple promotional poster I designed for my radio show group. Since the show focuses on movies, I wanted to put in a VHS tape in some form. I found this stock image in Pixlr’s library and used it as a base. I muted the colors on it since the last 80’s sticker … -
An A Capella Attempt
Listen, I’m not a singer but this looked kind of fun anyway. I had to try singing with myself. I decided to make up a little jingle as I went. I play viola and violin, but I honestly don’t know where to start when it comes to being in the right pitch or creating harmonies. … -
Imagine You’re On the Beach…
Close your eyes…and listen to this 2.5 star audio assignment. My inspiration for this was spa-style massage music. I can think of no more relaxing place than the beach. This was pretty simple to make. I used freesound.org to find ambient sounds and music that would fit together. To me, the most relaxing instrument is … -
Recreate a Movie Using Only Sounds
So as always, I wanted to make sure I incorporated the radio show, my groups, been working on so I turned it into a radio game show! Again, I actually don’t hate it and I’m getting the hang of the “radio announcer” voice. I really like the intro music I found too. The only thing ... Read moreRecreate a Movie Using Only Sounds -

For this assignment, I wanted to create a commercial that would work with my group’s radio show idea. Our idea was to talk about products, trends, and characters that made an impact at the time. So to create a commercial for straw fedora hats like the one Sam (Molly Ringwald) wore in Sixteen Candles. When ... Read more80s Product Commercial -
Optimal Bumper Accessory
I’m not quite sure why, but when I saw the example of a bumper sticker for an option for a design project I was immediately set on that as my final option. Maybe it’s because bumper stickers, while still around a bit, seem like more a relic of the past to go along with the… -
Lets Get This Show On The Road
We started our group assignment strong by figuring out a time early in the week for all of us to meet up. Tuesday we all got together in a reserved room in the HCC on UMW campus to get our plans on track. After introducing ourselves, we got down to business. The main goal was… -
Good Morning ds106 Radio
2 Stars I decided to change this assingment slightly so I could use it for our radio project. I used Bensound for my background noise and I used SoundBites for my alarm and rooster sounds. I’m really happy with how this turned out! Its a pretty uplifting intro/bumber. I originally wasn’t going to include the… -
Our Progress
Our group is making great progress! We decided that we wanted to discuss mainly 80’s music and try to figure out what these songs have in order to make the “80’s sounding.” We are then going to talk about modern songs that have the same characteristics as true 80’s songs. I just created my version… -
Radio Logo
I used Canva to help me create my version of our Radio Logo! In our google doc, Lauren already created an awesome logo, but I wanted to add my personal spin on it. I really liked how these turned out! The logo especially had a retro feel to me. Canva already had the formatting set… -
