This daily create idea is to find the hidden treasure behind a wall. This is just taking two pictures and using the erase tool in photoshop to erase part of top picture to show pieces of the bottom layer coming through. I layered the brick wall on top  of the waterfall.

This assignment goes along with the characters. Make the ideal work space for your character. Fill it with different things that the character would like. This is a library/office for me. It is filled with books as well as calming murals for the walls.

For a daily create idea, I thought about “Noir in the shot”. Take a screen shot of a noir film and put yourself in it.

Week Thirteen It has been a wild ride for Claudia Rose and I, trying to uncover the mystery of this Jack case. Although it was tiring at times and I could barely carry myself to the bathroom, we finally made a resolution after multiple clues and pathways towards our target. At first we had no … Continue reading Weekly Summary – Week Thirteen →

I am writing this post in response to the following comment from my latest senior project post. “Hello: And could you talk more about ” I enjoyed gaining experience in ordering paint and managing other painters”. I would like to hear more about your experiences here. Thank you, Kevin” During the process of completing my…

Well this is it. I have to say this was my favorite course that I took this semester. I cannot believe it is over and went by this quickly though. I am so thankful for everything that I learned in this course, my amazing professor and all the memories ...

Well this is it..my final blog post, being written with a concussion and on pain meds..so bare with me please! Idea 1: To write all the words you think describe you out on paper. Though to make it fun write it in a way you think describes the word, use color and use it as a time to be nice to yourself and reflect on the good things about yourself instead of the negatives. Examples: Creative–write in a cool way Smart–write in cursive Outdoorsy–draw flowers or something around the word Idea 2: Make a background for DS106 with all the creative things you have made throughout the course. This can include writings, pictures, things you made..anything! Make it into something fun and that someone could use to advertise the class or even use as their computer background. Make sure it shows your best work. I submitted my ideas on the website, but I am unsure as to how to get proof for you of that!

Are you wondering how in the world to reflect on your freshman year? http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/reflection-for-freshman/ 1. Make a soundcloud. 2. Do so by going to soundcloud.com and making an account. 3. Recording from soundcloud is easier for those new at this, go to upload and click record. 4. Reflect upon your freshman year, think about all the good and bad things, all the new things you learned. Writing things down may help, or just talking and seeing where it goes so you are completely open and honest, whatever works best for you. 5. Click upload after recording. 6. Make a creative title and write a description about the post, put any tags you have to, shown under the assignment. 7. Click save. 8. Wait for the upload to be complete. Here is my example: I talked about how horrible my first experience of college was at SU and how miserable I was, but after transferring here to UMW, I couldn’t be more happy and grateful. Faced with a few injury setbacks, but never to the point of giving up because of my amazing friends and family here to help me out.

Are you wondering how to do the storytelling assignment? Well, look no further than here! http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/storytelling-through-pictures/ 1. Decide what you want to base the story off of. Are you going to tell the story of your life? A sports team you made? Your first year of college? A friendship? 2. Once that is decided, look for pictures that show the story accurately. Try to not use words, try to just look for good pictures that really bring the story together. 3. Decide if you are going to create a timeline or college, or anything else you believe will tell the story right. 4. Put the pictures to together in storytelling order..make sure it makes sense to someone who doesn’t know you. 5. Do a brief right up about it, explain what you showed the story of and why you did it, use this as a time to reflect upon yourself. Here is an example: I did a college, starting in the left corner, my first semester of college, my first college football game cheering with my best friend. Then I continued on with three pictures with my other best friend, one is the first picture we took and the other ...
