For this design assignment I had to display who I am using the letters in my name. I treated every letter of my name as the first letter of a word that describes me and then made a collage of pictures to demonstrate those attributes. I came up with the following image: As you can … Continue reading Who Am I?

For this design assignment I had to create a maze. I wanted to try to do it on the computer so I went to word and started looking through the different shapes you can insert into the document. I decided that the coolest shape, in my opinion, was the star. So I inserted a lot … Continue reading Seeing Stars

For this design assignment I had to take or find a picture and change the setting or what is happening. I decided to use the following image: This picture was taken my senior year of high school when my friends and I were captains of the girls varsity soccer team. One of the girls from … Continue reading Concept Change

For this design assignment I had to represent a movie using four icons. I cannot tell you the name of the movie, but by looking at the icons you should be able to figure it out. I had a lot of fun with this assignment, mostly because it gave me an excuse to watch one … Continue reading Guess the Movie

For this assignment I had to find or take a picture of a couple who are in love and write them a background story. I chose to use an old picture of my grandparents: My grandfather was in the army and my grandmother was a nurse for the army. They met through mutual friends and … Continue reading Love at First Shot

This week we were asked to read and review “The Vignelli Canon” a booklet by Massimo Vignelli. I thought the little booklet offered great insight to graphic design, with me someone who knows little about. I really liked how he stated, “It is not the formula that prevents good design from happening but lack of […]

  I chose Cthulu and Zoidburg, because why not Zoidburg?  I mean look, they are both crustaceans displaced from the world they know, who are just trying to feel a little bit more at home.  They both have icky tentacle faces, so kissing doesn’t weird them out, which is a big plus in a dating … Continue reading Love at first shot

I chose the directors cut of Alien as my film.  I like it because there is less than 10 minutes of Alien in the one and a half hour film, but it’s entirely memorable.  From the start you have the opening sequence, which looks like Alien writing or hieroglyphics before it ends up spelling Aliens.  … Continue reading The horror you never see

Audio, by far is my second least favorite thing to work on/with.  This mostly comes from the fact that I hate recording myself, or listening to recordings of myself.   This week, I felt more on top of things than... Continue Reading →

This week was not my favorite at all. I’m shy when it comes to things like audio so I did not like it. This week I did things out of order a bit. I tried to stay on the schedule map but I kept bouncing around trying to keep my interest and avoid talking which […]

I’ve always thought it would be interesting to do a sort of talk show for a radio station. A talk show that is aimed at viewer’s questions and problems. First I would start off with a cute idea of the day or something fun to think about just as a way to try to brighten […]

ds106, of course! That’s what you’re listening to! This week, we had to create a radio bumper, and even though it is in the Assignment Bank, it was not worth any stars this week…   I first recorded the audio,... Continue Reading →

Things started out as usual . . . then they got a little hairy.  Like bigfoot jumped out of the woods and leaped on top of me pinning me down so that I could not move anymore.  Okay, a little dramatic, but so has this week been. I began with reading, listening, and contemplating audio … Continue reading Summary for Week 5

I am not very artistic but I think it would be fun to do an old fashioned talk radio storytelling.  Something with creaking doors, slamming doors, blood curdling screams, gun shots.  It could be introduced and closed by a host character.  Something like The Twilight Zone in a radio story.  Hey, maybe we could tell one of the Twilight … Continue reading Radio Show Ideas

This week was soooo entertaining to me;  I listened to he “Moon Graffiti” audio about the Neil Armstrong landing outer space running out of gas and air.   It was the first time listening to it and I must say it was so surreal.  Just listening to the audio I felt like I was actually … Continue reading Weekly Summary

For the page I selected, I would create a creepy background sound. Kind of like that building piano sound. It would lead into the next scene and the music would be a softer version of the piano sounds. Sound can change the context of the  story and I wouldn’t want the  audio I chose to […]

Say What What would a horror story be without a creaking door, blood curdling scream, or sound of a gun shot blasting?  The audio can aid in storytelling in ways that even visual effects cannot.  The history of storytelling over of the radio and even the current interest in books on tape are testimonies to people … Continue reading Audio Storytelling

Good Morning Message for the Village

Real Housewifes Tagline “Whatever you are, be a good one.” I used this tagline because it is my favorite quote. I think this quote is important and I used it as my tagline because I think no matter what, the most important thing to do is to love yourself. No matter what you are going […]

In the beginning, the audio is kind of hectic and panicked which is also the scene in the story. When the spaceship crashed, the music was still panicked and worrisome. Next, the absence of sound created the spooky, ghostly feeling that something bad has happened and it’s a sense of mourning as the news is […]

Radio Show Ideas:   It would be really cool if a story was told using only sound effects, and no dialogue.  This would be really cool, but also difficult, because the show has to be 20-30 minutes long. It would... Continue Reading →

Audio in storytelling and movies is important to set the mood for the movie. In scary movies, the audio creates the suspense and makes the viewer jump with the jump in pitch of the audio. I’ve always heard that a scary movie in mute, really isn’t that scary of a movie. An example of a […]

For 3 stars this week, I completed the 800% Slower Assignment.   I have come to learn that Audacity hates me.  In order to keep the smoothness of the track, I slowed down the track using the Paulstretch effect under... Continue Reading →
