    Our Very Own Radio Show!

    by
    This week comes to an end with a bang, as everyone shares their radio show projects with the world! My group (We called ourselves The Fab Five!) consists of myself, Sarah Leonard, Erica Gonzalez, Mike Messina, and Skylar Joseph. We are proud to be sharing our recreation of the Roy Rogerā€™s Show, but before we get to that I have some other thingā€™s Iā€™d like to talk about. In the meantime, check out my second progress report on this project and then continue down below! While working on this project, I actually created another radio bumper since I felt we needed something to lead us out of the show! I posted it on SoundCloud, but you can listen to it here as well! I made it in about five minutes, recording the voiceover then using a copyright free song called ā€œPachelbelā€™s Canonā€ as the background music. This was all done in Audacity before I exported the file and uploaded it to SoundCloud. Iā€™ve pretty much got these radio bumpers down to nothing at this point! Haha! This Weekā€™s Daily Creates! Due to Fall Break making this week a short week, and the time allotted for groups to work on our radio projects, we only had to complete two Daily Creates this week! Hereā€™s the two I completed! I got to show my interest in art and video games! Participation and Comments! This week was a little strange when it comes to comments and participation! Since we did not have many things do, there werenā€™t that many posts to comment on! However I still managed to find some! Some are from this week and a few are from last week that I didnā€™t see in time for my last weekly summary. Hereā€™s the posts I commented on this week! And be sure to check out mine! I promise to respond back, even to the simplest comment! DoNā€™t PrEsS tHe BuTtOn Behind the Counter Progress 2 Creates This Week Radio Show Progress DS106 Radio Mixtape Radio Extras How to Survive: Advice From the Five Magical Instrument The GIF by the Window week eight daily creates The Roy Rogers Show! For our radio project we recreated an episode of the Roy Rogers Show, a radio drama from the 1950s. We used an episode script called ā€œThe Missing Scientistā€ and modified it slightly to include our class theme, Bob Ross. I actually explained all this in another post, so go there if you want a more in-depth explanation! We ran into some trouble Thursday night when technology decided to malfunction. This was mostly due to the large file size of the audio project, and an email got lost in limbo. There was also general technical difficulties since not all of us were on campus and could not meet in person for this project. And conducting an audio project such as this, especially when we donā€™t have much experience with audio editing, is hard! I was stressed most of the night because I had put a lot of effort into recording things and then rearranging the audio to include the radio bumpers and commercials created by our group! I am happy with how it turned out though! For a group with very little audio editing experience, I think we did rather well! Let me know in a comment down below what you think!

    week seven summary!

    This week was busy! We got into groups, and started planning our radio show project. We met on the voice channel in discord and talked through ideas, made plans, and split up the work. This week, I created a Goodyear commercial with Audacity for our radio show. I also created a bumper for our radio [ā€¦]

    WEEK SEVEN SUMMARY

    by
    This week, I formed my radio group. I was approached via email by Alexander Ohene, who, in fact, I know outside of this class through numerous mutual music courses. He knew I was interested in doing a music-related radio show and he asked if I wanted to join him and his sister, Josephine in a [ā€¦]

    Radio Show in Progress

    by
    As Week 7 comes to a close, I am both thrilled and scared of what is to come. This is the first ever major audio project Iā€™ve worked on (with a group of people, no less!) so Iā€™ve a right to be a little frightened! However, this doesnā€™t stop me from diving headfirst into the assigned tasks for the week! This week our workload was cut down due to the radio show. While we all joined groups and divided the work among ourselves, we were still responsible for creating a promo or some kind, a progress report, as well as completing two audio assignments that will benefit our radio show. Each of the buttons below will take you to the assignments I completed this week, so be sure to check them out! This Weekā€™s Daily Creates! This week we were told to complete three Daily Creates. I actually did more than three this week, but hereā€™s three of my favorites from this week! Can you guess which one I enjoyed the most? ( ?Ā° ?? ?Ā°) All jokes aside, the Bicycle ones was my favorite simply because it immediately made me think of the Queen song. Anything that lets me share my love for Queen is amazing in my eyes! Comments of the Week! It was really fun getting to see everyoneā€™s progress on their radio projects! I enjoyed looking through everyoneā€™s blog posts and telling them what I liked about their the radio bumpers, posters, and music! Iā€™ve also had fun responding to people who have viewed my posts! After checking out their posts, donā€™t forget to check out some of my own! I respond to everyone who comments on my blog, so take some time to leave your thoughts and you can be guaranteed to hear back from me!

Radio Music Overall, this week has been both hectic and interesting! Now that weā€™ve made it through the week leading up to Fall Break, I hope to have a little rest as we go into the final phases of our project! Until next time!

    week six summary!

    This week I learned a lot about design. I thought the Stranger Things title sequence video was specifically interesting. I also wrote about my thoughts on the Brain Pickings article here. The first assignment I completed was the DesignBlitz. I tried to find the design elements as much as I could in one area, which [ā€¦]

    This week was focused on design. I have always been a fan of graphic design and especially the creative philosophy surrounding it, so I was extremely excited about the assignments for this week. First, I read Massimo Vignelli and Chip Kiddā€™s booklets about design and wrote a reflective blog post about what I learned. Next, [ā€¦]
