On her days off these are the sounds Alex Bercek hears in the span of half of her day.  She first wakes up to her alarm and makes her way to the kitchen for a bowl of lucky charms.  From there she makes her way to the gym where she boxes for an hour, mostly […]

I think it’s funny that I saw this assignment and thought immediately of mashing these two songs.  The reason of my choosing is because people completely lost it when Adele’s Skyfall made its debut and I chose Die Another Day because it is from the Bond movie I remember most vividly from being a kid.  […]

This week we basically talked about the overall structure of our show.  We discussed how to disperse the bumpers and whatnot.  We have not settled on a solid theme outside of it being a storytelling type of radio show.  We talked a bit about the tone we would want the show to have and deriving […]

Week 7 was hectic! This week was midterm week and I had several exams to do and by the time the week was over I felt so out of the loop. This week was bad week to be out of the loop since it was all about creating the designs of our radio show. I […]

We have not discussed this part of our show just yet. But I think it might rely deeply on our core theme for the show.  However, for me I’m getting the mental image of it being sleek and dark and minimal in nature.  Kind of how spy’s keep a low profile, I would imagine our […]

The whole point of this week was all about Radio creation. The main task was to get into a group so we could start to brainstorm. I did not want to be put into a group that had ideas that did not have any similar ideas. I am a very shy person so to talk […]

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/good-morning-message-for-the-village/, it was rated 2 ½ stars. “Good Morning message for the Village” was to generate a cheerful good morning message to the “Village” or more specifically for your community (ds106). Since we could change up assignments to help in designing our radio show, I decided to change up the requirement. The […]

For this assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/music-mash-2/ , I had to take two or more songs that are similar and mash them together into a conversation.  This assignment was rated 4 stars. I choose to create a conversation between Little mix and the chainsmokers. I choose the song Touch by Little Mix and Paris by the chainsmokers. I […]

One of the requirements for this week alongside the 10-star required assignment was to create a poster/bumper sticker/logo etc. to promote our radio show. The group decided on the name “Agents on Air”. I decided to make a logo since one of my group mates already made a poster for our show. Furthermore, she had […]

For this week, we had to do 10 stars worth of design assignments. I choose to do the assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/emotions-through-sound/ . This assignment was rated 3 ½ stars and it was to create an emotion by combining different sounds. I choose to create the emotion happy and surprise from someone having a birthday celebration. I […]

  This week was, again, pretty challenging. Creating a week’s worth of assignments on top of collaborating with a group and coming up with ideas for a show was definitely pretty hard. Another challenge on top of all that was trying to make the assignments related to our show/our spy characters. I think I did […]

For the spy design assignment, I decided to go with my tentative idea for the title of our radio show. The group is still talking over the show, so the title is still up in the air, but I thought it would be a decent name. The fonts that I chose from (one of my […]

This one was one of the most challenging but phone audio assignments I’ve done so far. It definitely earns 4.5 stars. Coming up with a script was easily 50% of the work, especially because I had to make it basically a radio show-type of conversation relating to my spy character, Roderick Rush. The other half […]

Week 7 was okay. It seemed like less work than last week, but because we were in groups working on a project with other people, it took a little longer than expected. Because our group hasn’t come up with a name for the show or a really solid story yet, I had to avoid being … Continue reading Week 7

For this assignment, I used this Robot Voice Generator to read my spam comments from my blog. I thought it would be interesting to use a robot voice instead of my own voice or a different generator to read spam comments, since spam comments are usually automatically generated by “robots” and usually sound pretty nonsensical. … Continue reading Taking Back Spam

This week I focused on collaborating with my group to figure out what our radio show theme will be. We decided to use the theme sexspionage. I made a poster and a bumper for our radio show this week. I found it fun working as a group in coming up with our idea for the …

I would say this was a pretty normal week. I was more familiar with audio so those assignments were much easier to do because I knew what I was doing! The progress for the radio show is coming along, as noted in my Radio Progress post. I am really excited to get working on the ... Read more

So this may or may not be a little bit of a stretch, but when doing this assignment I definitely wanted it to fit with a spy-themed show. Spy novels in general, but especially the older noir ones, really remind me of rainy and stormy weather. It’s foreboding, and I always imagine figures in trench […]

In this assignment. My goal was to create a clip of anything I would want to tell a person I just met. That way they could get to know me better and possibly go on a date with me. I used the spy theme in this dating audio to stick to our class theme. This …

In this assignment my goal was to create a poster for my group’s ds106 radio show. Our group’s theme is sexpionage. So I created the poster below. It wasn’t very difficult because I used a software called canva that allows you to create graphics very easily. I hope to use this to promote sexspionage the …
