Well, this couldn’t have been submitted any closer. I’ve been working on this all day today, and all I can say is that I wish I started earlier. Basically, I tried to tell the story of Guts and the Band of the Hawk during the Golden Age (from the manga Berserk) through the website creator … Continue reading Final Project

My final project is a compilation of five different types of media to give the receiver a close look as to what Andy the Bank Robber’s life was like while he was robbing banks.  This assignment contains seven different assignments two writing assignments, two design assignments, one visual assignment, one animated GIF assignment, and one […]

This Soundcloud Audio is the last recorded thing that Andy the Bank Robber was believed to have said while hiding out from the police before he got shot after his plans in Cheyenne failed.

This is a GIF that I created from an old western movie that had a car chase that reminds me closely of what a car chase looked like for Andy the Bank Robber before he got caught in Cheyenne. I embedded the GIF in a tweet. https://t.co/XMLaiCUD9O via @giphy — Andrew Slupek (@aslupek40) April 29, […]

This is a letter that Andy sent home to his family in the hay-day of his gang’s bank robbin’ trip.   Howdy Luanne, My dearest wife, I am hoping this letter finds you well.  I hope the kids are doing fine.  I should be sending some money back home with Cal, his momma passed and […]

This dairy entry is from the day before Andy was caught in Cheyenne, Wyoming.   Today is June 22, 1913. I have been on the road for the past six months and while out here we have lost a couple guys from our gang at a shootout in Nevada.  It was old Jimmy and Joey […]

  This is a sketch made of Andy the Bank Robber’s cars that he drove.  He and his gang drove these types of Model T Fords to make their robberies.  Their cars were enhanced to be high performance to Vis any law enforcement.

  This is Andy’s wanted poster.  It lets people know what they should be looking for and what their reward will be if they capture him.  A total of $50,000 is a hefty price for those who are capable to capture him.

  This is the map that Andy used to plan out his bank robbing trip though the west.  He hit the capitals of almost every state in the West.  The yellow star shows where his trip began, and the red X shows where his trip ended abruptly by getting arrested.

As the final piece of my “Do These, Danny Keys” story project, I opted to make a map that shows all of the possibilities within the story.

As my semester in this class winds down, I think it’s important to go back and reflect. My experience in DS106 was incredibly fun, although I definitely could have done some things differently.

I chose to do a little behind the scenes for my final just to discuss how everything was done. I was going to put it in the most with my final, but I thought that would be kinda distracting/annoying. To begin, I first thought of a general story line which was part of last weeks … Continue reading "Behind the Scenes: The Murder Most Foul"

The website is finally done!! Throughout my final project, I used Wix to create my own website. I started with a template that was meant to be used for tennis. I then added many features. The website itself is used as a form of design. Then, I added inspirational quotes for the writing aspect of my project. […]

We were asked by the professor to write a letter to future DS106 students. I thought this was a fantastic way to reflect upon the semester and understand what does and doesn’t work. I hope that future students enjoy the class and have a little fun. For my final project, I chose to complete Rose’s … Continue reading "Week 15 Summary – Thanks for the Travels!"

Part 1: The Plan If you knew her past, you’d know that this has always been her goal. She enjoyed what she did, but she knew it couldn’t be sustained. Rose was ready.

Here it is! The final product. The story begins with this audio of someone killing Marlene in her tavern. After the shooting, the killer runs away and the police come shortly after the call.

She had finally done what she had planned to do. She clutched her sack of money close to her as she watched the horizon move quickly past her.

She … Continue reading "The Final Heist – Part 5: Goodbye – Writing Assignment"

Want to learn what happened to our outlaw, Rose Oakley, and her plan? You can check it out from your local news source. I started with another news article before using the xray goggles to create my own story of Rose’s heist. It’s difficult writing like a news journalist. I’m not very good at it, and it starts … Continue reading "The Final Heist – Part 4: Read All About It! – Web Assignment"
