    I wanted to do something new for my second remix assignment. I chose to remix the “We’ve got you covered” assignment since I had considered doing that one in the past. The remix I got was to make it intentionally cheesy, to the point of being awful. In honor of my play opening this week, […]

    The Joy of Painting: Where’s Waldo? Edition

    by
    For my second remix assignment this week, I decided to take a look back on an old assignment I did at the beginning of the semester. I originally completed the “Populate the Landscape” visual assignment, where I took a Bob Ross painting and put He-Man into it. I thought it turned out nice and really wanted to remix the assignment in some way. When I remixed this assignment, I got a card that that told me to turn it into a Where’s Waldo? image. I do not think I could have gotten a better card! To start off, I went on the Joy of Painting website to find a Bob Ross painting I could work with. While I could have used my original assignment, I wanted to do something a bit different. I first thought about using Pixlr to drop the people from Where’s Waldo into the painting, but soon found out that would take more time than I had. I then remembered Giphy has stickers and drawing tools that let you animate a still image. So, I took this assignment to the next level by populating the image with animated figures. All the stickers came form Giphy and are winter themed and I included Waldo in his signature striped jumper. I had to post the final result on Twitter and embed the tweet here, because WordPress really did not like the Giphy embed code. You can also view the original on Giphy. What do you think? Please let me know in a comment down below!

    Weekly Summary #12

    by
    For this week, we were tasked to complete 3 Mashup Assignments, 2 Remix Assignments, and 3 TDC’s. For my 3 Mashup’s, I did “Storytelling Through Text“, which was where one of my friends and I, told a funny, but scary story through our texts. The idea was that we heard a suspicious noise in our […]

    Daily Create: 11/12

    I just wanted to share the amazing drink I discovered on my trip to Mexico. I drank so many of these, it was that amazing. I would definitely mix and add different fruits to see how the taste would enhance and change. The regular recipe tastes like sprite so it can be too bad.

    Mash-up Assignments Remix: Is This The Right Movie/Turn Up The Cheese

    by
    I saw this assignment and I immediately got an idea to create a summer/ spooky contradiction movie poster. I clicked the remix button just to see what it would give and then decided to roll with the remix and make it extra cheesy. I was using instagram as an editing program for the picture so …

    Country Bob

    by

    I revisited my Bob Ross dollar bill for my first remix assignment. The remix I got was to somehow “countrify” my bill. I did this by downloading a png of a cowboy hat that was at a similar position to Ross’s head in the unedited picture I used. I then placed it on top of […]

    Boston… by Jackson Pollack?

    by
    For my first remix assignment this week, I was inspired by the “Remix an Album Cover” assignment I completed earlier this week. I decided to remix this assignment and became intrigued by the prompt to turn it into a Jackson Pollack painting. I then created the remix assignment, which can be found here: “Remix An Album Cover: Pollack Style.” I mentioned in the original version of this assignment I did this week that I wanted to create a remix of Boston’s debut album. Unfortunately when I was trying to remix it, I couldn’t think of anything. Boston already did a pretty good job at that, creating an album cover than has guitar-shaped spaceships in space. It’s one of my favorite album covers because some people I know didn’t even know this fact until I pointed it out! This was around the time I started looking at remixed projects and found the Jackson Pollock card. I thought, “That sounds cool!” and here we are! I have provided both the original remix and the Jackson Pollock version for reference. The remixed version I did has a blurred background, and I used the smudge tool in Pixlr to make the fire and planet look more abstract. I then used a particle tool in Pixlr to fragment pixels in the image to make it look like a bunch of paint splotches. I messed around with the color, tone, and difference a bit to ensure you could still figure out what it is supposed to be. To be honest, I used so many options in tools it’s kind of hard to explain. I mostly just pressed things, kept them if I liked them, and erased them if I didn’t. The final result turned out good, I think. It looks kind of like a stylized Jackson Pollack painting, and everyone I’ve shown it to seems to think so too! Please let me know what you think in a comment down below! Which version do you like the best?
