For today’s daily create we had to make a sign for our ranch! In order to come up with a name for our ranch we used random farm/ranch name generator. When I used the generator it gave me the name “Applewood Ranch.” After getting the name I went on google and typed in apple ranch to get the background […]

This week’s daily creates were all about cow gifs and little story blurbs. Here they are:

For today’s dailycreate we had to write up a short tweet story about a picture of a cowboy standing in snow. It is difficult to write a story on twitter with limited characters. When looking at the picture I was thinking “hmm maybe his horse took a wrong turn” and I rolled with that idea. I am […]

People may think it's weird, being a girl & all, that I'm a cowboy..actually cowgirl, but I don't. I call

I want to start this out with a HUGE shoutout to our wonderful professor, Paul Bond, for allowing me to move this week over to spring break. I would have been struggling even more on those midterms if I had to do this as well. We’re finally here! The radio show that I’m sure a … Continue reading Week 7 Summary

Our radio show needs commercials as part of the requirement. Problem is, with the advent of Netflix and Adblock, I can’t really recall the last ad I watched or listened to. I went back to those classic infomercials, and tried to emulate that style. The music isn’t exactly fitting, but it was the best I … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Make Your Own Radio Commercial!

This is the first piece of content I’ve produced for our radio show. I’ve done a generic bumper for ds106 radio, but this is specifically for our show, which is a news show. I wanted to emulate that news channel sweeper, and I think it came out pretty good. The music is from Graham Walsh, … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Create A Ds106 Radio Bumper

We were supposed to do 5 stars of audio assignments including our characters, so I chose this quick 2 and a half star assignment to supplement the 4 star radio show ad I did with him (aka awful accent) Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back. Found … Continue reading Audio Assignment – Based On 1-Quote-A-Day Project!!

I remember reading the syllabus that first week, and when I saw the midterm was to create a radio show, I became worried. I’d never done anything remotely like that before, and I’d have to be collaborating not only with people I’ve never met, but collaborating through the internet. As you do with any fear, … Continue reading Radio Show Progress, Week 1

Our radio group is called World Wide Western News, which is going to be a news show reporting on all sorts of Western themed stories. One of our members, Kristopher Hiser, made a logo for the group. I really liked his basic idea, but I wanted to try my hand at creating one too. His … Continue reading World Wide Western News Logo

I designed this logo for our radio program group using gimp. I had a rough plan at the outset, a circle with w’s twisted to different angles, but I did not like the outcome. So, I just experimented keeping things I liked any moving on until it looked complete. I used one of the western […]

For this assignment, I decided to make use of the fact that since I need a commercial for the radio show, I might as well get some stars for the week making one. I have mixed feelings about the final product. Probably some of that is due to the lack of copyright free music that […]

Today’s daily create challenge: What do you think the lion is thinking? @ds106dc #tdc1512 #ds106 Do you agree with the lion? pic.twitter.com/TB6Dl7lDZJ — Natalie Motley (@NatalieCPSC106) February 28, 2016

So, for this assignment, I am supposed to tell ann important life story in under two minutes. I decided to put a little twist on it, however, and do it from the perspective of my character, Merrell Shale. This story is his account of the story I included in his background that accounts for how […]

So, this week was a bit slower than weeks previous. We made in some headway in at least laying a bit of a road map for creating our radio show, more details about which are here. I also put my design skills to use, limited though they are, and designed a logo for our radio […]

This week was not as difficult as previous weeks, but the ten star worth of audio assignments did have me sighing, but hey at least they’re interesting! Anyways this week was mostly dedicated to planning out the radio show for the following week, and working on audio assignments. I also worked on daily creates and […]

Another audio assignment I worked on this week was creating dialogue between two characters which I took opportunity to dedicate this assignment to my western character, Riza, the saloon owner. This specific scene is when a young man, known as Mikey, is calling Tate, Riza’s husband, to follow up with a job interview at the […]

This assignment called for us to create cheesy radio ad for our university. Since I am not funny, and I know a lot of UMW alumni complain about the meal/nutrition system at Mary Wash, I combined both these factors to create this. Please note, I am a commuter student, so I don’t know anything about […]

This is the work I completed for week 7.  Each individual assignment has its reflection in its respective blog post.

This assignment was also a little difficult.  I struggled with editing it to make it flow better.  This assignment also helped me understand my character much better.  This allows me to use him better in other assignments.

This post was not too difficult.  I was able to also embed the song pretty well into this post.  It was the song “Traveller” by Chris Stapleton.  I also had my script all written out. Where I struggled was the editing of the sound its self. I was having trouble making it flow when trying […]

This is my radio bumper for the rodeo radio show that we have for our group radio project. In this assignment I embedded the song “It Feels Good” by Drake White in the background to give it a fun effect.  It also is a pretty good depiction of the radio show. The bumper was not […]

This week was the first week, my radio show group and I started working together to create our radio show. We started off the week by all meeting through Google documents on Tuesday. We discussed for about half an hour, and created a plan for the radio show. We decided on all telling different perspectives […]

You’re invited to the Gals of the West radio show, which will be up by Friday, March 11th. Find out who killed Johnny as all gals tell their stories of how they met and knew Johnny. Mark your calendars, and prepare to be entertained, in this suspenseful tale. Before I go into detail how I […]

This week was a very busy week for me anything really substantial done for the Radio Show Project. It seems like all my
