For one of my web assignments this week entitled Dream Vacation that is worth 3 1/2 stars (total now is 7 stars). This assignment tells you to make a board on Pinterest with all pins of […]

If I had a ton of money I would take my dream vacation at the beach, swim with dolphins, kayaking, tanning and everything else. I would love to lay on the beach and just read a book. The hotel would be right on the beach and I wouldn’t even have to walk very hard. This … Continue reading "Dream Vacation"

I chose to complete this assignment because the image of the paint brush sparked some good memories for me. The image reminded me of a painting software that I used while in elementary school during computer time and I always enjoyed my time playing with it. So, I thought it would be fun to try … Continue reading The Triangle Tool!

This week we were required to complete three daily creates. Completing daily creates is generally a usual task for each week. However, for this week, instead of just completing them and posting them to our blog, we had to create a story that incorporated them! I actually really liked this assignment. I not only had … Continue reading My Daily Create Story

I chose to complete this assignment because I like to complete assignments that involve my created western character, Talie. For this assignment I had to develop a “fake” resume for a fictional person or character as such, I created a resume for Talie, the western character I created for this course. You can read more … Continue reading Job Hunting!

To start off this weeks worth of web assignments I made a BuzzFeed Quiz. I just had to join the community and make the quiz. It took a lot longer than I thought it would since I had to download all the images from Google. Also coming up with a topic was quite a bit … Continue reading Find out who you are!

For my second daily create of the week we had to create so form of triangle art using an online triangle art program. It took me awhile at first to figure out how to use the thing and how to change colors, but after I got it I found it to be quite cool! I then proceeded to […]

The first web assignment I selected this week was Google Translate Fail which was worth 3 1/2 stars. For this assignment were had to find something in a foreign language and then use Google Translate to laugh about it. Below is how I did this: First, I selected a well known English saying and plugged it into […]

For my first daily create of this week we had to Powerpuff ourself! This daily create tells you to go to the website (see previous hyperlink) and create yourself as a powerpuff girl or guy! Such a cool website in my opinion! I had a lot of fun doing this! I went basic for mine and actually tried to […]

I had trouble accessing UMW domains, I’m not sure what went wrong, but here is my weekly summary. Below are my mashup assignments I did this week. I’m really happy about this because it allowed me to incorporate a lot of design work. I’m more into that than I am into video production. Holiday Mashup (3 … Continue reading "Week 12 Summary"

So, this week, I started with a 4.5 star assignment that was like one I enjoyed doing last week, but with a little more nuance.  This one fit better together as a complete piece since I already had a story I was trying to tell, and I even fit somewhat of a story inside it. […]

Maybe they grabbed the wrong costumes?  For the photo for this assignment, I put a couple of odd balls in a scene where they do not belong. They look like naturals though, I don’t even think they noticed.  The assignment was to put something in a movie scene that was totally out of place. I […]

I was searching through the assignment bank looking for ways to incorporate my character, Merrill Shale. When I found this one, I considered how I might make a video of an animal talking go along with an old Western gambler, and the answer came straight to me… If you aren’t with me yet, we are […]

This week was all about mashups and remixes of assignments. It was filled with creative thinking and filled with designing/manipulating things to make

Thus ends week 12, and we near ever closer to the end of the class. This week was mashups and remixes, and I found the entire week fairly easy, so it was a nice relaxation week.

Selfie with my pet bird and Fonzie! So 70’s!

For this assignment, you mash up two distinct movie scenes into one. I chose a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Godzilla. 2001 has many great shots, so I felt it was a fitting movie to try and find a background to Photoshop something into. Once I picked my scene, I thought of what … Continue reading Mashup Assignment – This Doesn’t Belong Here (with Tutorial)

This is the first photo of the room I have been studying in. See if you can find what changed in the second photo. This assignment was pretty cool, especially with someone else involved.  A hint in the second photo, one of the changes was her realizing that I was taking a picture. Ha!

This is in light of the recent events that the Tarheels experienced against Villanova during the national championship.   This took me some time to photoshop the face on here correctly.  Is there a better way to directly photoshop a face onto something without the background of the other image?

So, for this remix assignment, I am supposed to do the “opposite” of the original which was to take an extreme close up of some object and let people guess what it was.. For the answer, click here.

During my semester in ds106, I found this assignment to be the best assignment all year. This was the best assignment in my

This assignment interested me as soon as I saw it. Anything that deals with sports immediately gets a consideration with me. So when

In this mashup, there seems to be an issue with the holiday calendars for 2016.  Everyone thinks its their holiday.   In this assignment, I struggled finding images that were comparable with the photo background.  I really wanted to get a turkey that looked like it was going to eat the Easter Eggs.

So, for this assignment, I remixed one I had done before, and I added some twists. In the original, I just made a digital copy of myself. For this one, I was going to make a video of the same, but the tool I found that lets me make a video avatar of myself had […]

  This photo incorporated three different photos I have used previously in the class.   The photo has a few of my friends and I doing some yoga, with my self created Donald Trump shirt, and in the background, is the eye of Andy the Bank robber with the gunslinger in his sights.  Also kinda […]

The original assignment was to take two comparable movies that you like and create a movie poster that incorporates both movies. Then the

For this mashup assignment, I had to use my favorite movie trailer and mash it up with a different trailer to completely change
