I absolutely love video editing so this week has been fantastic. The only challenge has been with time management. I’m a bit of a perfectionist… if I have to create something, I want to at least feel proud of it, and so it takes time getting my videos to a place where I genuinely like them. … Continue reading Week Eleven: Real Life Reflection

I enjoyed the web assignments. For Storytelling Within the Web, I decided to use the Mozilla X-Ray Goggle tool to transform Craigslist search results for Health and Beauty and into results for Magic and Witchcraft. I loved the way it turned out, and I wish I had the time, energy and brain power to just … Continue reading Week Nine: A Fun Time

This radio show really tested our problem-solving abilities as a team since it felt like the due date approached very quickly. Our return from break consisted of an in-person meeting where we established more details in our outline and wrote a script for the talk show. I was able to create another commercial before we met again on Friday afternoon … Continue reading Week Eight: Distress Signal

While this week didn’t require any remixing, I did revisit Audacity to layer and edit multiple audio clips. This time, however, I wasn’t granted the “do whatever you want” approach; all creations were part of something bigger and better! I’ve spent this week planning and contributing ideas for a group project: Distress Signal, a ds106 radio show. I’ve really enjoyed … Continue reading Week Seven: DJ Ashleigh’s Comeback

I compared my experience with photography to the readings and realized that, while I incorporate a lot of elements in my photos, there are plenty of things I should work on, like creating more of a story and … Continue reading Week Four: Photo Bomb

Man, this week was tough. There is nothing I hate more than the intimidation I feel while staring at a blank page. I’ll start with TDC. This week’s daily creates featured a haiku, animorphing, and International Dot Day. Because I hadn’t really incorporated the superhero concept into my work for this course, writing a reflection on what defines a superhero definitely worked well … Continue reading Week Three: Words Emerge

This week, I fell in love with the Assignment Bank. There are endless opportunities to make something unique. The three assignments I tackled were from the visual, audio and animated gif categories. My work not only reflected my interests, but encouraged me to use my experience with certain programs towards a new goal. One assignment, for example, led me to create an audio advertisement. I’d used … Continue reading Week Two: College Course or Fun House?
