In this assigment, DS106ers React,  the objective of the assignment was to record yourself reacting to a video. Reaction videos are becoming really popular online. Even I am subscribed to a few! It kind of feels like you are watching a video with someone, or … Continue reading Cringe Town…

Picking a favorite instrument is like picking a favorite kid or a favorite pet. Everyone says you shouldn’t do it, but everyone secretly does it anyway. This is my response to the My Favorite Things to Do assignment, worth 3.5 stars. I had to record a video of myself engaged in my favorite hobby. I […]

These last couple weeks have been crazy busy for me, and I wasn’t able to listen to the radio show when it actually aired. Thanks to Dr. Genereux for uploading the show to his soundcloud so I could listen when I had time. Overall I really liked the show, made me laugh even though I … Continue reading "Week 9"

This week was a much easier week, which I loved. We didn’t have to do much besides adjust a few things on the radio show and add a few bumpers. This blog post will primarily focus on what went well and not so well on the radio show and multiple other aspects of the experience. […]

For this week’s summary, I didn’t really create much, I more of reflected on what our class created. This week, we had our radio show broadcasted on ds106 radio! It was along with other students works which I really enjoyed! I liked hearing what the … Continue reading My Thoughts? (Weekly Summary 09)

This week, I was assigned to listen to radio shows created by students from various schools including my own during a radio broadcast. I wrote about the experience in a blog post. I also was assigned three daily creates. First, I explained why I write. I think my response explains itself pretty well. @ds106dc I […]

On Wednesday 10-19-16 at 7:30 pm, I listened to the radio shows created by students from other schools as well as my own classmates. All the shows were very different from one another, but they were connected by a common thread in the form of a focus on the internet. I also live tweeted the […]

So we got everything recorded finally, I think it went great, everyone sounded good, and I know I had fun doing it. I didn’t get to listen to the live show because I had work, but my professor uploaded a copy to his soundcloud, and I’ll give that a listen this week.

Week 8 was a fun week. The class stitched together the radio show for ds106 Tuesday afternoon. We all had separate parts to edit that we mashed together to make the final product. Reagan and I did most of the stitching together as the class supervised. I think the radio show turned out to be … Continue reading Week 8 Summary

Hello and welcome. Ready to hear about the radio show? No? Well life sucks and that’s not my problem so you’re going to hear about it anyway. So our class was making this radioshow thing right? Grand. Literally we just messed around for 2 weeks not really working on it and then Thursday we went … Continue reading Radio Show Update

As we all know, the only thing I’m looking for is a nap. So since that one was pretty obvious, I decided to help Plankton’s voice actor look for his pencil. @ds106dc #tdc1744 #ds106 In search of…MY PENCIL. pic.twitter.com/KBixH2RqqE — Kylie Heronemus (@KylieHeronemus) October 17, 2016  

Welcome back to yet another exciting ds106 daily create. I am so eager to share this with you. Oh boy. This daily create was.. wait for it… ds106 rules. Wu-hu. I didn’t feel like going to the site to actually look up one of the ds106 rules because the effort wasn’t there and probably never … Continue reading Daily Create – Ds106 Rules

Okay so someone on the DS106 team woke up Saturday and thought – You know what would be a great daily create today? Birds with arms! – like..okay. So we were asked to post images of birds with arms…Here is mine: I named him Dudly. @ds106dc #tdc1742 #ds106 Dudly is ready to fight. pic.twitter.com/HvDzYeQV5V — … Continue reading Daily Create – Birds with Arms

This week was all about completing our radio show. Leading up to this week we really didn’t have a very good plan for the show. So Tuesday’s class consisted of us throwing out ideas that we think would be easy to do and edit, but not boring to listen to. There were multiple ideas, but […]

This week we concluded our radio show, and we are going to have it broadcasted on DS106 radio! I don’t know the specific times yet, but I’m guessing we’ll find out. I really like our ( or Bill’s idea rather) of us doing basically a … Continue reading Radio Show Part II (Weekly Summary 08)

This is the second week my digital media class spent on radio. The radio show will be posted in its entirety when everyone has finished editing their snippets and when all the transitions and breaks have been added. This post details my personal contributions. I was also required to leave 12 comments this week. See […]

These are the comments I left this week. I mostly left witty replies to daily creates. Keep in mind, my idea of wit may be very different from yours. @brimac106 @ds106dc @justin_zamecnik That could be a photo of just about anything! — Reagan Hotz (@Hotz_Digital) October 15, 2016 Radio Show Progress @brimac106 @ds106dc I can […]

We are creating a radio show in my digital media class to be broadcasted on the ds106 radio station. On thursay, we went to the school recording studio as a class to record our responses to “questions for millennials.” I edited a short snippet of it. I have also created some additional content for the […]

Make It 800% Slower had me take a song and slow it down by 800%. I used Andy Mckee’s acoustic guitar tune “Hunter’s Moon”. This assignment was pretty simple for me, but hey, four stars is four stars. I used Reaper Studio for this. I tried doing it with Audacity first, but it kept crashing on … Continue reading Making “Hunter’s Moon” 800% Slower

The Combining Covers assignment has me combine a cover of a song with its original. I chose “Simple Man” by Lynard Skynard and Shinedown’s cover of it. I ended up spending more time that I wanted on it, but I extended my work time because I enjoyed doing this assignment. Going into this assignment, I … Continue reading Combining Lynard Skynard and Shinedown’s versions of “Simple Man”

For the Favorite Song Assignment, I’m suppose to choose my favorite song, remove the vocals, and see if people can guess the song by listening to only 30 seconds of the song. Choosing which song is my favorite is nearly impossible for me, so I chose a song that I have been very fond of … Continue reading Guess This Song

Well this week was kinda crazy. One of my roommates screwed up while washing clothes and flooded the basement, and I had to work til 10 almost every night. As for digital media stuff, the group google doc started out a total mess(and got worse from there), and it took me deleting all of it … Continue reading "Weekly Summary 7"

To be honest, I don’t expect or even want feedback on my own work, at least not from people I don’t even know, so that’s why I comment so little on others work. I’m just not a social guy, online or in the real world, and social media is a foreign concept to me, I … Continue reading "Commenting"

Ah yes, such a frantic week. This week I learned that general design is one of my strong points. I’m able to work up a design fairly quickly, and I think I do a good job in making things pleasing to the eye. This weeks assignments: “Create an App Icon” “Missing Person” “Create a T-shirt” … Continue reading Week 6 Summary

I am completely new to photography, so I’m no expert in photography. However, I have been studying design for quite some time, so analyzing the design quality of a photograph is right up my alley. I took a lot of photos with a camera that I rented out from my school and got some decent … Continue reading Analyzing Photography

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-a-t-shirt/ This assignment asked me to create a T-shirt. Since I have recently finished “Stranger Things”, I decided to design a shirt that has one of my favorite scenes of the series on it. I created a silhouette of each character of the scene and turned it gray. Using Adobe Illustrator, I image traced the … Continue reading “Create a T-Shirt” Assignment

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/missing-person/ This assignment asked me to create a poster for someone who is missing. It’s straight forward, but I decided to have some fun with it. I used InDesign for this assignment, and I did it from scratch. My main concern for this assignment was making it as readable as possible. Choosing the right font … Continue reading “Missing Person” Assignment

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/create-an-app-icon/ The premise for this assignment is pretty simple. Create an icon for a phone app and write about it on your blog.  I chose to create a logo for my band (Room 347). The name of the app would be “Room 347 Music”, hence the M in the logo. The color scheme for the … Continue reading “Create an App Icon” Assignment
