2 and half stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/valentines-day-caption-challenge/ For this assignment I am creating the scenario where Melody Bay has sneaked into the radio studio of House of Noir one night to listen to old Sebastian Crane tapes. She would never admit it but she finds his voice mesmerizing and enthralling. In a moment of creative weakness she […]

I was inspired by Quinntero’s post titled Giant Wafflestomping. This visual aid was a picture of a hiking boot from an angle I have never seen before: the bottom. The heal of the boot would have left prints that looked like a waffle. I was inspired by this photo because I would never have looked … Continue reading Inspire

Daily Create- make a how to for this daily create, I took a picture of an assignment i had to do in elementary school. I had to make a how to, and i thought it would be perfect for this assignment! Obviously you can see that I was not very smart when I wrote this. … Continue reading Daily Creates

3 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/looking-at-yourself/ For this I, as Melody Bay, created my self portrait as an homage to Sasha Kellogg. This woman who survived great family tragedy and still managed to thrive and present herself with poise and grace. MB cannot bear to stray far from where her mother left her. Drawn to the memories the […]

  As joking as this Warning Poster may be, the statements made in the design are, in fact, true. Yes Mount Everest is about 29,029 feet high, and there is definitely a possibility that you might die trying to climb it. There are also no lifeguards on duty there because Everest is freezing cold and … Continue reading The Ascent: Warning Poster →

This week, my work was not of its usual quality. I became distracted and confused by life and only managed to complete a small amount of the work assigned. I made my character Tom Blair a Gmail and Twitter account. I sent an email to my professor from Tom’s email, and tweeted Tom’s first tweet. […]

  When you create a minimalist movie poster, it only seems fit to accompany it with a wallpaper for your desktop DS106 style. Thanks to the DS106 funding, we were able to make Operation Everest come to life. Click on this green sentence to learn about The Ascent. I whipped up this design using Adobe … Continue reading The Ascent: DS106 Wallpaper →

This assignment was kind of fun. I choose to use a craft store because that is what my character owns. I put Zach Wylde (Ozzy guitar player, singer/guitar player for Black Label Society), a bunch of kittens, and Toothless the dragon (How to train your dragon) in the store. I used photoshop to do this … Continue reading Change of Scenery- 3 Stars →

For one of my assignments this week, I decided to do the assignment, You’re a Pinteresting Character, that was submitted by Brooke P. The assignment is to, “Build a Pinterest page of at least 20 pins for a character of your choice. Search for pins that relate to your character and things that he or she would […]

  Movie Plot: As mentioned previously in my blog, my character Sterling James is a wanted man who’s life is on the line. In his travels he encounters another character name El Jota who’s head is also wanted. They both come to an understanding that there is only one man who can save them, Jim … Continue reading The Ascent: Minimalist Poster →

2 Stars http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/my-favorite-lyric/ The characters this assignment involves is Dalina’s Rose King and my own Melody Bay. Both women are artists, one a singer the other a painter, and both are trapped in their hometown. Rose because she does not have the money to leave, Melody Bay because she cannot leave the memories of her […]

 This is a design assignment and is worth three points for the week of 3/09 to 3/15.   As we were supposed to work with our characters this week, I envisioned this warning sign as being posted around the city by my character Tom, for Sarah Kinzer’s character Folami. Folami is the antagonist of the […]

  I have decided that I wanted to connect all of my designs this week and put them all into a series call The Ascent. I chose to complete all of my assignments from the design bank because it has been a while since I could create some new designs. Because this is a series, … Continue reading Logo Design – The Ascent: Operation Everest →

In this design assignment, I created a bumper sticker for my character’s, Miakoda, store The Crafty Cauldron. I figured I would add different crafty clip arts to go along with the steaming cauldron. I like the Blackadder font. It gives it that stereotypical  wiccan idea that goes with the cauldron.

Spencer is honestly so creative it hurts. His Lego creations fill me with envy and the desire to create more(so much so that I almost bought $50 worth of Legos before my roommate stopped me). He took this daily create to make a spaceship and not only shared with us his Lego creation, but also […]

I had a lot of stuff to do at the beginning of this week. I had a major paper on Monday, and I was turning 21 on Tuesday. Tuesday also involved a Midterm and a class field trip to DC to see a play. Both things were for the same class. Needless to say, it...

This week we had to comment on 10 posts again! So here they are. I love doing this because I love to see what other people are up to in this class, it’s pretty exciting: 1.http://www.stephenweidman.com/ds106/assignments/common-everyday-object/#comment-1123 2. http://ds106.jnemeth.net/radioshow/radio-listen-in-noir-not-the-father/#comment-70 3. http://ds106.jnemeth.net/radioshow/radio-listen-in-noir-not-the-father/ 4. http://briannecomden34.com/assignments/how-about-some-noir-dd/#comment-136 5. http://www.cheyannemckinney.com/blog/writing/inspire-four/#comment-254 6. http://i-am-think-will.com/weekly-summaries/let-us-rejoice-companions-for-week-8-is-finis/#comment-116 7. http://www.cheyannemckinney.com/blog/writing/nicolette-social-media-accounts/#comment-255 8. http://www.stephenweidman.com/ds106/uncategorized/create-a-warning-poster/#comment-1124 9. http://i-am-think-will.com/thoughts-and-ideas/inspire-delovely-lyrics-and-the-story-of-zachs-life/#comment-117 10. http://ds106.jnemeth.net/jim-sardic/sardics-business-card/#comment-71 The next assignment was to find three posts that truly … Continue reading WEEK 8 →

You’re Not Going to Say Anything? I picked this one because it was my first time looking at his work. I liked this a lot because it was just a daily create and it looked like he put a lot of work into it. For the daily create, people were supposed to create a picture...

This one was fun to make. I did it in the writing of a group I created called Aquia Maxius. The group is anonymous and put my character in a bunch of crazy situations. I thought it would be fun to use them for a ransom note. I completed it by taking a random background...

The Daily Create assignment for today was to create a lesson and upload it to flickr. I made hard-boiled eggs for dinner and my roommates and I all seem to forget how to boil eggs properly every time we go to do it, so I created a lesson for us!

As a kid, my party trick was telling people I could draw the head of a cartoon character from Camp Lazlo. I was able to draw Lazlo’s head but never the rest of his body. So, I decided to go back in time for this daily create and teach people how to draw his head....

I thought that this assignment was good for the story line of the radio show we did. Since it was a dinner party, I made the invitations for all the characters that were in our group. I did not want it to be a silly looking invitation, so I choose black with a color close … Continue reading You’re invited- 3.5 stars. →

http://inspire.ds106.us/color-life/ This post inspired me because it to me meant that all things in the world are pure and beautiful and unique in their own ways. All of the roses are different, the colors pop in different ways and they all have  different shapes and ways of being a rose, but they are all roses. … Continue reading Do What You Love →

http://inspire.ds106.us/typography/ I loved this because I think in current society, love is taken for granted and people truly don’t think about it as something as much as they should. Love is something that is not mediocre and it should be taken seriously and not taken for granted. I think love is something special that you … Continue reading Lovvvvvve. →

http://inspire.ds106.us/album-cover/ I chose this as one thing that inspired me because of the saying whats best to be done on it, it to me means that even if you know if something will have a negative consequence, you have to do what makes you happy. Though, not only what makes you happy, but what is … Continue reading Inspiring? →

The emotions through sound was one of my favorite assignments so it is no surprise that this inspiration comes from that assignment as well as my previous inspiration. Kim did hers with a scene where you are stuck in traffic going to the beach which sounds EXACTLY like my summers without the loud music! This […]

For my last collaborative character assignment I chose to do the “Promotional Flyer” assignment worth two points. For this assignment I decided to bring the worlds of Jack Spencer and Sebastian Crane together by having a charity event sponsored by Jack’s company, The Highland Corporation, for Sebastian’s disabled brother, Donovan. The Highland Corporation usually does their annual…

Mariam completed the assignment Emotions through Sound. In this assignment she uses the sounds of a flatline, crying, and person walking away to tell the story of her characters mother passing. This work inspires me because it tells a whole story through only the use of sounds without words. It truly takes you into the […]

For my third collaborative character assignment I chose to do the “Create Your Own Business Card” assignment worth two points. I started this assignment by going to psprint.com and using one of their business card templates. This assignment was a little tricky to collaborate with Sebastian Crane. My inspiration might be a bit of a…
