@ds106dc  #tdc1514 Fiddle until you get an interesting storyline. Then create a collage of 5 images to tell the story. Try to go beyond literally interpreting images. How funny…I was going to roast Olaf for a smore, and decided to go all girls, but look who popped up on the Looking Glass b/c I did not […]

(Find an image of a well known western figure, add to it a famous quote by someone related in some way to the figure in the image and then attribute the quote to a third, related figure.)

As I was reading this chapter this week certain ideas and concepts really started coming together for me. First off, this chapter was focused on remixes, specifically digital remixing. The authors gave many examples of remixing, some I hadn’t even thought of as remixing. Of course the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about remixes is music. Maybe it’s because when I was growing up it seems like remixing music was all the rage, I know it wasn’t necessarily a new concept but I think

Today's daily create was all about leap day. The task was to post an image that represents taking a leap. My very first thought was of the Tower Bridge in London. Last year they opened a glass floor section of the walkway across the top. My mom and I happened to be there right after it opened and of course had to check it out. It was a little hard to step onto the glass floor at first, there were cars and double decker buses flying by below. Here's my picture of stepping onto the glass. My foot

Serial Podcast I decided to do something different for this week’s digital story critique. I did something I had never done before, I listened to a podcast. I have seen “Serial” many times in the last few months but never really gave much thought as to what it was. I started to really take notice of it after I watched Making a Murderer on Netflix last month. I was searching online for stories about the series and one caught my eye, If you like Making A Murderer you will like Serial. Still I
