  One day I was sure I wanted to go to the shore. I mean who doesn’t want to see the sea? I hopped in the car with two of my friends to go to the ocean. We were determined to go there whether the weather was good or not. Once we got there, my ... Read more

This was a fun assignment. I enjoyed making this commercial and I think it will go well with our radio show that has a sexspionage theme. So I decided to create a commercial about a spy dating website where you can find fellow spies that are looking for a relationship or just a date. I …

Here’s a little sneak peek to our radio show……

The start of this week organizing the group was really difficult! We were going to get together in person, but everyone had different crazy schedules so we weren’t able to meet in person. We started a Google Doc and all wrote down ideas and then made a group message to discuss the possible options and ... Read more

This week went pretty good! I enjoyed all of my assignments and daily creates!   My first assignment was the assignment “The Day in the Life..”. In this assignment, viewers will get to learn even more about my character Scarlet Jones and what a typical day in her life would be like. I liked doing …

  For this conversation, I pretended I was me and my actual best friend Natalie. I altered my voice to a “country” accent for Natalie since she lives in Louisiana, and then had my voice as regular. We normally talk about random things so I just talked about random things in this conversation as well! ... Read more

This is a logo design that I came up with for my groups radio show project. Our show name is a spiny off and is called Cloak and Dagger. Cloak is coming from the term “Blanket Spying”. I made my design using Preview on my Macbook. This process was pretty easy. I just edited my …

Above is a radio show bumper I created for my radio show group. Our main topic in the radio show will be talking about sexspionage. I added some cool explosion sounds to give the radio bumper a cooler affect. I am really excited about creating my own radio show. I think it will give me …

For my design project, I designed a temporary ad for our trivia segment that we’re planning on doing. We have yet to come up with a name for our show, so it will need to be edited in the future, but for now I think this works really well. The font I found at dafont.com definitely … Continue reading Radio Show Design Project

Archives For this assignment, we had to imitate the sound of weather using objects only within reach of the computer. Sounds easy, right? Not so much. I picked this one because it seemed like it would be fun but it was harder than I thought. First of all, I don’t have much within reach of my computer. Second of all, imitating weather sounds is harder than I thought! Even “cheating” a bit and widening my range of useable objects, weather sounds are not easy to imitate and even harder to make sound legitimate. I tried banging pots and slamming doors […]

I think that our radio show is going to be great! My group has been collaborating all week on some cool ideas for our show. We have pretty much come up with the idea to do a segment on mass-survalliance with contrasting old school spy methods and new school spy methods. We have also decided …

Week 7 has come to an end, and spring break is finally here! Last week, I wasn’t to0 detailed with my assignment posts, so I tried to fix that this week.

Archives For this assignment, I chose to take a stroll down memory lane. The assignment is to pick a song that reminds me a certain time/place/or memory and then talk about it. I chose “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” by Journey. It always reminds me of my junior year in high school. That was the only year I ran cross country (I ended up breaking my ankle and requiring surgery that spring) and this song was basically our theme song! One of the memories that really stands out for me is at one of our meets. It was in the fall […]

This week wasn’t too bad. I enjoyed the assignments because I enjoy working with audio and producing cool sounds and beats and such.

This week’s mission focus on our group radio show was intriguing! My group decided on Sexspionage as our topic, with my corresponding weekly progress and design challenge posts below. http://ds106.wbschd.com/uncategorized/sexspionage-radio-show-progress/ http://ds106.wbschd.com/uncategorized/radio-show-design-project/ Next, I completed three weekly daily creates (Shown below). @ds106dc A mustache and a beret are all it takes to be a master of … Continue reading "Mission Check-In: Week 7"

So originally my group had ideas of: “sexspionage”: Interesting historical stories we can find of manipulation through intimacy or close friendships. We want to know if spies ever let their emotions compromise their missions. Anonymous online transaction currencies like Bitcoin, technology or the Internet Historical or current events talk show relating to spies. A collaborative …

This was a really cool Daily Create. I’ve seen similar stuff on Vsauce and a few other places, but I haven’t heard of the Museum of Endangered Sounds. Check it out if you haven’t.   @ds106dc https://t.co/yPJ2kiAl5v#tdc1881 — Daniel Hawkins (@Hawkins10000) March 4, 2017

  For this assignment, I combined factual information and added a little bit of humor to create and ad. I used soundcloud on my computer to record it.

Here’s a little logo I was able to whip up for our radio broadcast! It’s very simple, but is small and clean. Being clean and elegant is definitely part of the spy theme.

Archives For our audio stars this week, I know our focus was supposed to be on material we could use for our radio shows and the class theme in general. In keeping with that aim, I chose to create another ds106 radio bumper that also advertised my groups upcoming radio show! My first step was to find some background music. I really wanted something dramatic but in the end, I felt like a radio bumper needs to be more upbeat so I chose some bass sounds. Next, I had to figure out what to say. I tried recording it freestyle […]

For this 3.5 point audio assignment, I was instructed to create a commercial, preferably for my group’s DS106 Radio show on Sexspionage. Since my own secret agent character, Wren Wilder/003, is a fan of technological security, I decided it would be fitting for our station to promote malware and ransomware protection through security software such … Continue reading "“Malicious StopGate” Malware Commercial"

For my final assignment, I decided to do Sound of your Day.  It was rated 4 stars. It is not the sounds of my day personally, it’s the sound of our wonderful agent Mac. She didn’t have a very eventful day from the sound of it. I recorded everything using the memo app on my phone and … Continue reading "A day in the spy!"

For this two-point design assignment, I was instructed to create a poster bumper for my group’s DS106 Radio show on Spy Sexspionage. I decided to create a visual based on online advertising, which often makes use of emoji icons (As was the case for the successful media campaign revolving around the “Deadpool” movie). I took … Continue reading "Sexspionage Online Poster Advertisement"

This week, my DS106 Sexspionage Radio show group was formed. After early group communications through our Google Doc, we limited our options for a show topic to something that included historic spy content (Such as sexspionage), involvement of our own secret agent characters somehow, and discussing technological gadgetry involved in these forms of spying. After … Continue reading "Sexspionage Radio Show Progress"

My group’s Sexspionage Radio show for DS106 radio required me to create some bumper visual and audio tasks, displayed below. I found the process interesting and engaging, helping me to actually brainstorm ideas used in our group meeting at the end of the week. My poster was inspired by the emoji campaign from “Deadpool” and … Continue reading "Radio Show Design Project"
