This week was a busy one once again. We were assigned ten stars worth of design assignments. I was able to get all ten stars with three assignments. We were told to look for some elements of design in the real world. We had to go out and find good uses of color or spacing, […]

Our Digital Media professor asked us to go on a “Design Blitz” to find different advertisements and logos that showed good use of certain design elements. Here are mine: 1. Space I chose this one as showing good use of space. The designers had only the space of the bottle to create on and did … Continue reading Flickr Design Blitz

This assignment was a pretty easy one. The instructions are to take any song you want and make a symbol for it. I chose the song STFU by Blackbear for my assignment. This assignment was worth two stars, which puts me at ten for the week. As I said before the assignment was very easy […]

As another project, I created another poster. This assignment asked us to create a minimalist poster of a television show or movie – which I kindly ignored – and made a minimalist poster for my favorite video game – Bioshock. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/minimalist-tvmovie-poster/

So originally this was supposed to be a poster of lyrics but I didn’t really read the description, I just saw “Typography Poster” and agreed. For this assignment, I created a typography poster dedicated to something I love – coffee. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/lyric-typography-poster/

I know I say this every week, but I didn’t really have a lot of time this week. Maybe I’m just a busy person in general, and have a lot of other stuff to do, who knows. Anyway, instead of just complaining on how I … Continue reading Weekly Summary 06

Okay to start off, on a completely unrelated note, for some reason I really don’t like the word “Blitz”. Probably because I don’t like words that have a Z instead of an S, but I digress…. Since I am always crunched on time, I did … Continue reading My “DesignBlitz”

With the country like it is, I may just move north. For this one, it’s pretty easy to find a motivational poster generator(I used http://diy.despair.com/)

Here’s a menu I drew up that seems to sum up my diet pretty well while I’m in college…….

This one was fun. On the website, their example was a picture of nickleback, which made me the of their song “we all wanna be big rock stars”. I figured putting that on a picture of Elvis and attributing it to Bob Dylan would be pretty fun(and I was right). Here’s the end result:

For my quote, I chose the classic one from Back to the Future, “we don’t need roads”, as those movies are probably my favorite. This one was pretty simple, just download a picture and slap on a quote. The hardest part was getting the text to show up on the image, so I ended up … Continue reading "Movie quote design assignment"

This is my response to the Motivational Poster assignment, worth 3 stars. I had to design a motivational poster with a picture and a quote. I used Inkscape. Actually putting this little project together was very easy. The hard part was deciding what to do. There were so many possibilities and I didn’t want to […]

This is my response to the A Digital Reflection of Myself assignment, worth 3.5 stars. I had to produce a digital doppelganger of myself. I used my Nintendo 3ds to create a Mii based on myself. I couldn’t figure out a way to take a screenshot with the 3ds, so I too a photo of […]

#ds106 wanted to poke a little fun today at the image of NASA shooting off a rocket, with a frog flying through the air (see below) Today they asked us to tell them where NASA frog is today. I said he is exploring new planets – #tdc1728 #ds106 @ds106dc He is exploring new planets in … Continue reading Daily Create – NASA Frog

This is my response to the Create a Logo that is Simple but Complex assignment. I had to design a logo that is both simple and detailed.  I decided to make a sort of logo for myself. Since I have the last name “Hotz,” I thought it would be a tragic missed opportunity if I […]

Hello again, assignment bank stuff again. I chose something simple to do again. This features my friend Brianna because really what would my life be if I didn’t make her into some gorgeous artwork. For this assignment we were to change the head of a person or animal into a cartoon character – http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/cartoon-the-head/

Once again we were assigned to do assignment bank stuff (shocking, I know). Being the classic Kylie I am, I chose some simple ones to do because that’s just how my life is going right now and who I am as a person. For this assignment, we were to create something that reminded us of … Continue reading Assignment Bank – Good Ol’ Nostalgia

Today, the ds106 team posted a daily create. They requested for all members to post an image of old books that we can’t part with. I chose the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is one of my favorite book (and movie) series and will go with me wherever I am. #tdc1727 … Continue reading Daily Create – Old Books I Dare Not Part With

On September 28th, #ds106 created a daily create asking it’s followers to post an image of circles in circles. I decided to post this image: This image was created by Wassily Kandinsky. @ds106dc #tdc1725 circles in circles #ds106 pic.twitter.com/4kDvuCnl74 — Kylie Heronemus (@KylieHeronemus) September 28, 2016  

This assignment was a fun one for me. The assignment was easy to follow, but was very time consuming. All I had to do was make a trading card for a movie, and the movie I chose was Mad Max Fury Road. This assignment was worth four and a half stars, which puts me at […]

For the assignment, Name That Single, the action was to “Create a design for a favorite song by using just simple designs and NO WORDS.” Which I wouldn’t think would be too hard to do. I have plenty of favorite songs, I thought. I thought wrong. It took me forever to finally pick a song. […]

Alright, so for this assignment, Favorite Movie Quote, the main action is to take one of your favorite movies and put a quote from that movie over an image from that movie.Simple enough right? Well I decided to do one from my all time favorite movie, which is Hannibal Rising. I was kind of weird […]

I went on a DesignBlitz this week, I rode around on my unicycle taking pictures of examples of design in search of good use of the elements of design: space, shape, line, texture, color, form, value, type, symbols & metaphors, balance, rhythm, and unity. Here are some of the beautiful sights I encountered in my travels! This Napa […]

For this assignment, Event Advertising, we had to create a poster advertising an upcoming event. Since I already do this a lot, I thought I would just put a poster that I have already made for an upcoming event. You see, I am an “officer” of the KGB (K-State Gaming Board) and I am the […]

Objective: Create a stand-alone network. Learn about the basic requirements for a TCP / IP Network to operate. Equipment: – Central Switch – Ethernet cables Notes and Observations: To begin this lab, the class had to disconnect their computers from the school network. After disconnecting the computers, we were asked to make a class “C” … Continue reading Lab 04 – TCP / IP Networks

I found this assignment on the ds106 website. The instructions were simple, create a simple logo for something. I could make a random logo for something fake, but I decided to upgrade the logo I had for my J.T. Blog & Design pages. The logo is shown above and is much better than the original […]

Sitting here on my computer and I just realized I totally forgot to do the update for week 5. I think I got all the work done though, all three daily creates, all the assigned audio assinments, etc. Links for all that stuff are below. I really liked this week, it was a lot of … Continue reading "Weekly update 5"

I have a great idea for an internet radio show that my classmates and I could do. The show would essentially just be about pop culture. It would be about things that us nerdy digital media students could talk about for days. This could include things like Star Wars, Doctor Who, music taste, or even … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

Assignment link: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/what-a-song-might-mean-to-you/ This assignment asked me to record myself explaining what a song means to me. The part of this assignment that made me thing the most was deciding which song to talk about. I’m a music fanatic, so there’s a whole library of songs that are meaningful to me. Thus, I decided to go … Continue reading What Andy Mckee’s “Drifting” Means to Me
