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 …
Following is each blogpost I created for the Design week of Digital Media:

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 …
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.

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.

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 don’t even have time to …
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 my “DesignBlitz” in one day …
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). …
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 …
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 …
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 …
#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 –
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
