    Kendrick Lamar Mash-Up

    http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/so-and-sos-greatest-hits/ (Three Stars) This is a mash-up of five of my favorite Kendrick Lamar Songs. I combined his songs “Faith,” “Blow My High,” Ronald Reagan,” “The Recipe,” and “High Power.” I used Audacity to combine them and the split tool to break the songs up.

    Spam spam spam spam

    by
    This was a quick one-star assignment to read spam. I interpreted it in a different way- I read a SPAM radio ad from the ’50s instead. I found the ad here and thought what it would sound like if Delia read it- small-time voice actress and all. After I found the ad, I had to transcribe Read More →

    He’s a bad boy

    by
    I did the theme song assignment for 4 stars. I created a theme song for Delia by combining major ideas about her- The piano prelude sets a tone, and of course the lovely Ella Fitzgerald pining and lamenting love. She sings to her audience, telling them to drink and enjoy themselves as she waits. The Read More →

    by
    4 stars So I decided to do the theme music audio assignment for my character Sylvia. I compiled together sounds of cat calls, the “tell me about it stud” quote from Grease, and some smooth jazz music.

    by
    It was a cold and snowy night, that night when groups began to form.  Who knew what a stressful night that would be for a young girl who had class in the morning then work right after…only to come home to a twitter feed full of “group” talk.  This young girl was so lost and … Read More

    Damon’s Theme

    by
        This assignment was a very cool opportunity to use for my character. I enjoy trying to incorporate audio assignments into my character’s story that aren’t easy or simple connections. An assignment like this, I find, takes a good amount of thought to incorporate into my character’s story. Additionally, it takes time to find audio […]

    Weekly Summary #5

    by
    I learned a lot about the principals of design with Vignelli. It is interesting that even though his works are before the era of technology , a lot in what he does still applies. I believe he has such a great understanding because he doesn’t have a machine doing the work for him, therefor e’s […]

    Copy Right Thoughts

    by
    I believe when a person remixes or recreate what was already created, the creator should be credited. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s a copy and where to define plagiarism. Creative commons seems to be a good way to allow owners to releases their product.  Sometimes I wonder if two people never met and came […]

    Macks Magic Cards

    by
    This assignment was done with my character in mind.  I had never played Magic the Gathering, but I have played Pokemon and a little bit of Yu-gi-Oh. I thought, how difficult could it be? The answer… Very.  Magic the Gathering is a hard, complicated and confusing game.  It’s as if someone took Dungeons and Dragons … Continue reading Macks Magic Cards
