This week we were asked to create a tutorial for one of our assignments. I chose to create one for the assignment ‘This Doesn’t Belong Here’: ET Doesn’t Belong Here Afterwards, I created 12 stars worth of mashup assignments. These included favorite movies, movie scenes, and gas station products. ET’s Wonderful Life PowaAde Rocky Raging […]

This week I created art exhibiting the number four. It’s the only number in the English language whose characters reflect its value. @ds106dc #tdc1552 #ds106Four is the only number whose characters equal its value in the English language: pic.twitter.com/2ukEnc7Ni1 — Michael Anzelmo (@mezzmello) April 8, 2016

So, for this tutorial, I am more interested in embedding the StoryMap on a WordPress site than on creating the storymap itself. This is something that I spent a bit of time investigating, so I just wanted to simplify the process for anyone interested. I tried the plugin, and it did a lot of really […]

This week was really fun! I enjoyed the mashup assignments a lot. I thought they were a little more enjoyable than some of the others. That being said they were definitely a little more work than other assignments, but it was fun, so I didn’t mind. For one of my mashups, I had to take … Continue reading "Week TWELVE!"

This week, we were tasked with doing 2 daily creates. I chose to do a negative space drawing and to show the power of 4 with art. My negative space drawing was done using some leaves I found outside of my boyfriend’s house. I placed them on a paper and sketched a picture of them … Continue reading "Two Creations"

I completed the assignment That’s Not What I Expected remixed pretty in pink. The original assignment directs us to take a close up picture of something. The remixed version asks us to make the something pink. Both assignments want the reader to guess what object the close up is. For this assignment I took a picture, using […]

For my last assignment this week, I chose to do What Color is Your World? I also chose to do this assignment from Marlene’s perspective, so I tweaked the rules a little because I couldn’t take all the pictures (western scenery, horse, bull ride) myself. I’m also assuming that Marlene is able to take pictures by … Continue reading "How Brown Rules My World"

The assignment This Doesn’t Belong Here directs us to mash up two iconic movie scenes. It’s fairly simple. The first step of the processes is to think of two different movie scenes that are recognizable by most movie goers. I chose Luke on Tattoine in Star Wars and ET in front of the moon. After the […]

I remixed the assignment We’re the Real Life Brady Bunch with the Fox News remix. For the original assignment we were directed to create brady bunch type collages of our friends and family. The Fox News remix asked us to exaggerate the assignment. Using an assignment I’ve completed before: Gain Gang I edited the picture so it […]

This assignment used the same basic idea as one I did last week. The emphasis here, though, was to show the age progression in the character and not just highlight some of his interesting roles. I chose Leonardo Dicaprio as the focus for this assignment since he has such  long film history and most of […]

The four and a half star assignment Movie Mashup was completed using the two movies Raging Bull and Rocky. The assignment directs us to create a movie poster utilizing the elements of two movies. I used both of the movies’ main characters. Rocky and Raging Bull are both boxing movies that have been compared to each other. […]

For my tutorial, I decided to do one of my favorite assignments so far: Spoil a Movie in 30 Seconds or Less. I chose to do The Prestige, for anyone that has not seen the original post. I first had to use my copy of The Prestige and put it into Windows Movie Maker. By … Continue reading "How To Spoil A Movie"

I completed the “This Doesn’t Belong Here” assignment for my final mash up assignment. It asked to combine two popular movies. I

The three star assignment Consumer Mashup directed us to mashup up two different corporate logos. I frequent WaWa where I buy Powerade. To I decided to mashup their logos. I obtained both company logos and misplaced the ‘wer’ in PowerAde with one of the ‘wa’s in WaWa. It was the only placement that made sense. I placed […]

For this remix assignment, you take someone’s existing assignment, and make it pink in some way. I used Natalie’s drawing of a flower, and decided to add some color to the petals. Her original blog post is below. Talie’s Six Second Art To do this, I first downloaded her video, then took it into Photoshop. … Continue reading Remix Assignment – #SixSecondArt (Pretty In Pink)

The four and a half star assignment This Doesn’t Belong Here wasn’t too hard. It was pretty amusing. I mashed up the scene in It’s a Wonderful Life where Jimmy Stewart was giving away the moon and the scene in ET where Elliot is flying in front of the moon. The result is seen below. This was […]

For my second remix assignment, I created a word cloud and included some words in French as well. I used text from my own Facebook site and a french paper that I had to write as well. I played around with the color a little bit and ended up using purple as a background with … Continue reading "Word Cloud"

A simple enough assignment, taking elements of your 3 favorite holidays, and combining them into one image. If it wasn’t clear, I went with Halloween, Christmas, and Independence Day. I’ve always been a fan of Halloween; I love the combination of Autumn weather and the atmosphere around the holiday. Christmas is associated with family and … Continue reading Mashup Assignment – Holiday Mashup

Tutorial for Cropped Signs I didn’t exactly do this assignment, but I did a remix for it. So I’m going to walk you through everything it took me to do the remix (which was adding a mustache to my final product), but if you do not need the remix, you may take away the last step. […]

I’ve done this assignment before, but we needed to use something existing in one of our assignments. The remixed option I received was The Opposer, in which you do the opposite of the assignment; considering I had merged the NBC and Twitter logo to create an NBC appearing Twitter bird, I thought to do the … Continue reading Remix Assignment – The Ultimate Merger (The Opposer)

For my next assignment, I chose to write a review of a product in a fun way/ tells a story about the product. I did a remix on the assignment and was tasked with somehow incorporating a mustache into the assignment. So I decided to do a review of these lip and mustache photo booth … Continue reading "I Mustache You to Read This"

(But I’ll shave it for later) Assignment: Cropped Signs Original Assignment Description: We think of creation as addition, but there is a form of creation by deletion (e.g. Newspaper Blackout poetry http://newspaperblackout.com/) In this assignment, you need to change, alter, enhance the meaning of a sign by cropping out parts of it. This should be doing in […]

This week was busy, but fun! I enjoyed putting together all of my mashup assignments and remixing some old ideas into new ones. And honestly, I really enjoyed putting together my tutorial. I like making things that could be potentially useful to others, and it gave me a chance to remake something that I had … Continue reading Mashup Time: Week 12 →

These are my dear friends hanging out in the Amphitheater during the first big snow on campus. My roommate Sophia was trying to take pictures of the snow/water on Emma’s glasses, and I was taking pictures of them. Claire joined in for one of the best series of photos I have ever collected. This one … Continue reading Emoji Friends →

This week we only had to do two Daily Creates, so I had to try to express something through emojis and then design something to the power of 4. I’m a little worn out with photo editing, so I tried to make something myself and, well, what’s done is done. Enjoy! ☎👻🚫 @ds106dc #tdc1549 — Lindsey … Continue reading Graphic Design is not my passion: Daily Create Week 12 →

This assignment called for subtly mashing together two iconic movie scenes into one image. In order to accomplish this, I took this pileup scene from the Blues Brothers and added in a little Terminator. He’s looking out of one of the upside down cars, biding his time… I had a bit of a hard time … Continue reading Something’s Different… →
