For this assignment I was to remove the lyrics from one of my favorite songs and upload it to soundcloud so other DS106 students may guess the song. Only the first 30 seconds of the song were to be used.  Warning! Song spoiler at end of post. This isn’t necessarily my all time favorite song, …

I was lucky enough to be in a group largely made up of people I know and am friends with, so communication to this point has been easy. Fairly early on, we created a Google Doc to communicate our ideas and brainstorm our project. One of our first ideas, and I think the one we’re …

I did the Sound Effects assignments from the bank. The assignment was rated  3 1/2 stars. I randomly chose this assignment and tried to think of ways I could relate it to our spy theme. I kept drawing blanks until I thought of a typewriter. I had just gotten this new chrome extension that makes your … Continue reading "Typewriter sounds"

For my next audio assignment I decided to do the Hear it Here assignment rated at 3 stars. The first thing that I did was came up with a poem and story line trying to use as many homophones as I could think of. Next I recorded myself using audacity and uploaded the finished version into …

This last assignment worth 3 stars which brought me over the 10 star cap and was called make your own ringtone. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-your-own-ringtones/ For this assignment you had to create a ringtone that could be used. I found a cool guitar solo and a drum beat on one of the free sound effects sights. I added them …

This assignment was called make it 800% slower and was worth 3.5 stars. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-it-800-slower/ For this assignment you put a song in audacity and slowed it down by 800%. This was a really interesting assignment because you got to hear the song at regular speed and then way slower. I really liked how this one …

The next assignment of audio assignments I did was worth 2 stars and is called can’t get it out of my head. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/cant-get-it-out-of-my-head/ For this assignment you had to whistle a song that was stuck in your head. Below is my poor attempt to whistle it: The song I had stuck in my head was …

I did the the DS 106 Radio Show Commercial assignment which was worth 3 1/2 stars. Now this particular assignment specified that the goal was to make a item that would be useful to a tv show or movie character. It wanted it to be at least 20 seconds long and include background music or […]

The first assignment from the assignment bank this week that I did was called reverse audio quiz and is worth 3.5 stars: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/reverse-audio-quiz-2/ For this assignment you have to take a song and reverse it through Audacity. This was pretty easy, but finding a song was really hard. I looked through a royalty free website …

So as part of the assignments for this week we have to create a bumper sticker, logo, or postcard for our group’s radio show. I decided to create a poster for our group featuring our new show’s name Agents on Air. The word air of course lends itself to different play on words. Since agents […]

https://soundcloud.com/user394934113/sound-combination For this assignment I decided to use sounds that I found on YouTube and combine them into one audio clip. I used a guy making 20 recognizable sounds and then used two nature videos. One video was a rainstorm and then other was of waves at a beach. The reason for the nature sounds … Continue reading Do You Hear What I Hear?

https://soundcloud.com/user394934113/drake-one-dance-remix For this Assignment I chose to use two covers of the song “One Dance” by Drake, There are parts of this mix that didn’t come out great mainly at the beginning but that is because the two background beats are so drastically different. One has the traditional song beat and the other version is … Continue reading Mixing Songs Like it Better

https://soundcloud.com/user394934113/the-weekend-soundcloud For this assignment I decided to play around with the pitch of the song and the different beats until it came out a little off from the original version which it really unbearable personally, once I created it on Audacity I could only listen to it once before going back on my Spotify to … Continue reading B-Flat

https://twitter.com/TomWorfolk1/status/836689900284096513 I love the Marvel Universe and all of the movies that have come out in the past decade. The one familiar note that is still funny to me is the lack of undercover awareness shown by the characters. All they use is a pair of shades and a baseball hat when people are looking for … Continue reading Daily Create 1878

https://twitter.com/TomWorfolk1/status/836686317182468097 To this day I still believe Saving Private Ryan is the most captivating and powerful portrayal of WW2 and the opening scene of D-Day will forever be known as cinematic history in my opinion.

https://twitter.com/TomWorfolk1/status/836684107199434756 Used Paint to create the spaceship, pretty straightforward with the dark sky background and the stars formed by existing shapes in the “Paint” program. The body of the spaceship was also formed by the existing shapes that I had to form together by using the eraser.

Can y’all guess my song?! Hopefully it shouldn’t be that hard because its very recent. I really enjoyed doing this assignment! It was actually perfect because when I came across it in the assignment bank, this song was stuck in my head at the moment so it gave me an excuse to listen to the …

Hey y’all! I hope y’all like hearing what a day in the life of Secret Agent Scarlet Jones is like! I made my post by first sort of writing out some bullet points that I wanted to mention in my audio recording. Then I recorded myself using Audacity. Next I uploaded my finished recording to …

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/rhythms-with-things/ Greetings, fellow agents. I discovered a new sound! It’s amazing! Listen to it below. I just managed to find stuff laying around and got a beat going on it. I had to be extra quiet though, since I am in the middle of a mission in between enemy territory! Wait…why am I being distracted!? […]

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/sounds-effects/ Greetings, fellow agents. I have come across……a strange new sound that I need help making out what it is. It sounds like a bottle or a cup being knocked around but what do you….think? Agent Smith, signing off. -Agent Smith

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/what-a-song-might-mean-to-you/ Greetings…..fellow agents. Today I decided to take a….break and share one of my favorite songssss….by Disturbed! I chose this song….well, listen to the audio file! Agent smith, signing off. -Agent Smith

This week was incredibly difficult for me because of how far behind I managed to get and how hard it was for me to catch back up. I had two huge tests this week in my two hardest classes so spending all of my time focused on studying for them pushed me way behind on …

So this was a pretty challenging concept for me to grasp this week, as I found myself having very conflicting ideas about what I should and should not take pictures of and what falls into which design category. I think in the end it came out alright, and maybe it just boils down to my …

Here’s kind of a low-res logo that I whipped up really quick on logoorbit.com. I would much rather make my own in the future, but was strapped for time this week. I would definitely change the company name color and positioning, and I would probably stack the two words rather than having them side by … Continue reading "Simplistic Logo"

This was a pretty simple assignment, but definitely liked making it. I need to work more with GIMP and other image manipulation and editing software for the future… This is one of if not my favorite movies of all time!

I came up with my own cipher! Kind of looks weird, right? Can you determine how I decided to use this as my cipher? A-q B-p C-w D-o E-e F-i G-r H-u I-t J-y K-a L-l M-s N-k O-d P-j Q-f R-h S-g T-z U-m V-x W-n X-c Y-b Z-v a-Q b-P c-W d-O e-E … Continue reading "Cipher"

The white is the before picture and the black with color is the after! I love Air Prestos and I think this is a pretty sweet colorway, but not with a sweet price. I used NikeID to create these colorways.

So, first thing is first: I love graphic design, so this week was a fun challenge for me. Unfortunately some work on my senior history thesis put a dent in some of the time that I wanted to spend on this week’s assignments, but I still really enjoyed it. The design blitz was fun, especially […]
