For this assignment I chose to work with Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. It’s a song I’m very fond of...

The last assignment I did was to create another radio bumper to use in our project. The first two were more erie and geared towards halloween/clowns, but this was more general. I wanted to create something that we could insert anywhere and it would fit. I followed the same process in this as in the … Continue reading "DS106 Radio Bumper"

The second assignment I created for the week was a commercial for the clown superstore!! Another erie October commercial that will play into our segment about the clowns in the United States. I was quite happy with it! To create this commercial I found an erie organ sound bit on Freesound.org and downloaded that. From … Continue reading "Clowns Gallore your Clown Superstore Commercial"

This week was kinda slow on the radio front; we didn’t really get things rolling on the group google doc until yesterday afternoon. So far I have one response on the group twitter messenger- I thought the response time would be better via twitter, but I guess not. We’ll figure it out. We have a … Continue reading Radio Show Week 1 →

This week I really focused on creating things for the upcoming radio show. The first assignment I completed was a Radio Bumper. This is rated at 4 stars on the assignment page but that may be a little high in all honesty. In all,I went a little over my 10 stars so I think it … Continue reading "Creepy Radio Bumper"

★★★☆☆ Assignment number two. I’m doing a slightly modified version of the Contest Nobody Could Win assignment. I’m supposed to take less than one second from six random songs and put them together, while you guys are supposed to guess. I looked through my music for a while before realising that...

Here is a lil remix for you,  so the assignment calls for mixing and mashing music together. It really wasn’t that hard, except trying to find the right sight or software to create it. That part took me an hr until i found what i was looking for. leave a comment and let me know … Continue reading Mixing it up →

For this assignment we were to create a car bumper sticker for our radio show. I used pixlr to create this logo and did a very basic design because I wasn’t able to upload a design that I have made but I will be able to do so when I meet with my group members. … Continue reading Radio Show Design Project

Assignment 2: Cover Combination (3 stars) My task for this assignment was to make a mash up of an original song and a cover that has been done of it. I decided to go with You Spin Me Right Round originally sung by Dead or Alive and mash it with Flo Rida’s Right Round.  I […]

This week we began our assignment creating a radio show with a group of classmates. I was able to find a group of 4 other people through connections on twitter, and we began a twitter group chat to discuss what our plan was going to be for our radio show. It was very hard for … Continue reading Radio Show Progress

This week was fun- mainly because we dealt with more audio editing with audacity. Here are all my assignments in audacity this week totaling 10 stars: What my day sounds like.. B-Flat. Fear of rain Some of these were a lot easier than others and all of them helped me get more experience under my ...

Assignment 1: Remake that Genre! (3 stars) For this assignment, I had to pick one song from a certain genre, and then pick another version of that song that is in a completely different genre. I chose to do the song “Ms. Jackson”, originally sung by Outkast, a popular Hip Hop group, in 2000 and […]

Tweets for week 6!

★★★½ Finally getting around to actually posting my assignments for the week. First one I’m doing this week is the the Reverse Audio Quiz, where I have to reverse a song and give hints as to what song it is. It’s pretty self-explanatory, really. I spent a while looking through...

For this assignment I had to edit sounds into audacity to show an emotion. We were required to mash up at least 4 sounds to achieve this. I chose to create someone who has a fear of rain. I started by making the sound of a storm. I used http://freesound.org to find the sound of rain and ...

This week was really interesting because the work that we had to do was set up our groups and the radio shows. I think it is great that we have two weeks to work. This allows us to be able to focus on what we want to do and then have time to really focus … Continue reading "Week 6"

I don’t know what to write here that I didn’t write in my other post. What I will do for this post is write an advertisement for the show. The Internet Gene. The newest in technology that always to have access to the internet with just a thought. As you know, there are people out … Continue reading "Radio Show Design Project"

This week we cam up with our idea assigned roles and thought … Continue reading Weekly Summary 6 →

This week really focused on getting us prepared for the radio show project.  Our group quickly put together a google doc for planning.  I used some of my weekly assignments to contribute to developing the project.  One of the assignments I completed was a fun little commercial for a fictitious Gods Away Spray to assist […]

So far our radio show is going very well. It started out rocky because we had to figure out how to communicate. We figure the best way would be to use a google doc. This way we can get all our ideas in one place. Google docs also give us the ability to comment and add to … Continue reading "Radio Show Progress"

We’ve made some strong initial strides in planning our radio show.  We have a good group of 4 and have created a google drive document for planning.  Here we can brainstorm show ideas and provide our commercials, bumpers, promos, and contact info.    In my opinion, our most promising topic is this clown trend.  It’s taken […]

This week I created a bumper sticker for the ds106 Radio talk show. This was by far the easiest assignment I had this week. I decided to use this website to create my bumper sticker and make it my own. They had a lot of predesigns with a lot of details on them. Once you chose what ...

We’ve made some pretty good progress on our radio show, The Internet Gene. So far we have the structure of our show set up and are coming up with a lot of different talking points. Our show will be set up in a style much like a radio talk show. The topic of this show … Continue reading radio show progress →

We’ve got a lot in the progress. I have put out a shout out to ds106 on Twitter for some 6-10 words stories of their own for our show. I also am going to do a blog post asking for 6-10 word stories on here in case people didn’t see it on Twitter. We haven’t […]

This week has been a new experience. I’ve never been required to work in an group based on an online class for something like this radio show. I find that sometimes its hard to work with people you have never met and don’t know their personality. This week I have learned that communication is key. ...

For my last assignment I whistled a song that was stuck in my head. This was actually a challenge for me because I am very bad at whistling, but I gave it a shot. I tried to pick a song where the beat was very distinguishable so it would be easy for somebody to figure … Continue reading Whistle song 2 stars →

I wanted to create a poster that introduces the basic premise of our radio show in an interesting and engaging way.  To accomplish this, I began by looking for a picture of a crowd.  My hope is that this would convey the fact that we are examining popular phenomena that spread from person to person. […]

For this assignment we had to make a rhythm with something from around our house. When I was a little kid I like to make drums out of pots and pans so I decided to do that. I used a spoon and hit it against the pot and my counter top to make a beat. … Continue reading Rhythms with things 3 star →

Naturally I chose another television crossover assignment that could be doubled as an advertisement for the radio show.  I liked the idea of evaluating the difficulties in a protagonist’s life and seeing how those needs could be met.  My mind immediately went to Xena, a hero who often struggles against meddlesome Greek gods.  I decided […]
