    Infomercial Fails

    by
    The next assignment I decided to complete this week was ā€œWhere Did The Soda Go?ā€ for the humorous fails and over-dramatic reactions. I was considering doing something like this for awhile, so I was happy to discover an assignment related to it! I knew of this infomercial because I saw it a few years ago and thought it was utterly ridiculous. Luckily Google knew what infomercial I was looking for when I did a search for ā€œinfomercial where the bowls explode out of the cabinet.ā€ This was the first result! It features a woman going to her kitchen cabinet, opening it, and then it looks like an entire storeā€™s worth of tubberware explodes out at her. I thought this was a perfect example for this assignment because itā€™s so over-the-top and ridiculous, because I donā€™t think itā€™s possible for someone to own that many bowls, let alone fit them in that cabinet! The video was on YouTube, so I copied the URL and pasted it into GIPHY to create a GIF. I made two versions of this GIF, the first which is just a simple loop of the ā€œinfomercial failā€ and the second slightly edited in a more fitting manor. Both can be found below! Please take a look and then tell me what you think in a comment down below!

    Assignment Bank ā€“ Writing

    by
    I am taking this weeks assignment bank tasks personal. We are supposed to choose 8 stars worth of assignments in the writing section. Iā€™m taking this as a personal attack ( winking face ;)) because I admitted in last weeks summary that I really dislike writing. Now obviously, I know these have nothing to do [ā€¦]

    Daily Create ā€“ Week Three

    by
    This week we had 3 daily creates to do. I did, a Bob Ross narrated Godzilla painting, tweet something incorrect and. For this weeks daily creates, I actually didnā€™t have to use any other apps besides Twitter and Google for a picture. Just like last week, I replied my tweets to ds106dc.

    7 Photos in a minute

    by
    So, My Photoblitz started in my dorm, but eventually took me to places all across the lower side of campus. The first task was to take a picture with my camera at floor level, so I decided to snap a pic of the hallway outside my dorm room. Next, I had to photograph something loud. [ā€¦]

    Photoblitz!

    by
    I really enjoyed the Photoblitz challenge. I completed the first seven tasks it gave me. The first one was to ā€œtake a photo of your most valued (non technology) toolā€. I took a photo of my screwdriver because it is the tool that I use the most. The second task I got was to ā€œtake ā€¦

    Week 3 Summary

    by
    This week we focused on the storytelling side of digital media for our main projects, and kept things spicy with some more Daily Creates throughout the week. Watching Kurt Vonnegut define a storyā€™s shape was both entertaining and enlightening. I doubt Iā€™ve ever thought of a story in graph form before, but rather than minimizingContinue reading "Week 3 Summary"
