Comment 2: This person did a very good job incorporating other characters from the class into their assignment. Comment 3: It was interesting to read how […]

Create A Warning Poster 3 Stars For this assignment you had to create a warning poster. I made a warning poster for my character Jeffrey and Janaye’s character Melody Bay. To do so I used the noun project online to find icons and put them in PowerPoint to compose the poster. I then converted the […]

I like how to the point this poster is. I was unable to find the original post but I am assuming it was an assignment from the assignment bank. I also like that it still states happy Valentine ’s Day but takes the pressure away of making big commitments and things on valentine’s day. It […]

I liked this activity because the author put a personal touch to the show. They uploaded what they thought was important and relevant to the show. This was inspiring because this person was able to share their outside interest and incorporate it into their ds106 assignments. Looking at the original post it seems like they […]

Sharing Credit 4 Stars For this assignment you had to present a collaborative story via email among two people. To complete this assignment I worked alongside with Sahar and we send emails back and from our characters emails that we created for class this. My character Jeff had just posted an job ad online looking […]

This week were asked to complete 3 TDC’s. I completed Laughing aloud one where you were asked to post a video onto youtube about something that makes me laugh. I usually laugh whenever I am with my friends. So I posted a video with my friend Tiffany where we laughing about something I can’t remember. […]

This was an inspiring daily create to me because it is totally relatable. And for the longest time I thought it was just my computer or even just me because I was new to some of the applications we used in the class. It is nice to know you are not the only struggling with […]

One Story / Four Icons 2 1/2 Stars For this assignment you had to make a story about using four icons. I made this design project collaborative by illustrating Jeff’s story in icons and also Sahar’s character Sara! To make their story I used the Noun Project online to find icons. I then used PowerPoint […]

I thought this person did a really good job explaining the plot of the movie. I have seen this movie (actually one my favorites) and it is not easy to summarize a movie in 5 seconds. This post was inspiring because the student admits that initially they believed this was going to be easy but […]

Stars: I’m turning this movie review writing assignment into a collaborative by writing it in the voice of my character, after he’s watched a movie about Spencer’s character, Donnie:   So I’ve started  this thing, this blog thing. I don’t know many people here in the city, and Bill down at the bar’s gittin’ tired of my drunken mumbling. So… Read more →

http://ds106blog.missmoonstarsun.com/uncategorized/website-banner-4-stars/ This website banner inspires me by the use of color. Ever since we first learned about design elements I have thought that color is the most important design aspect. It really makes the design pop out at the viewer and it draws in more viewers by its colorfullness. The color brings in the viewer … Continue reading Amanda Thacker’s Website Banner- 4th Inspire →

http://3lilangels.us/assignments/solo-vocal-trio-3-stars/ This work inspired me by how hard this assignment is and how close to perfect it is. Everyone taking this class are novices when it comes to this high tech audio equipment. So for Barbara to be that close to sinking her voice using audacity, is a very talented skill and I am impressed … Continue reading Barbara Hall’s Vocal Trio- Inspire 3 →

http://ds106blog.missmoonstarsun.com/assignments/audio/multipersonality-2-5-stars/ This inspired me because of how well Amanda does when she talks in different personalities. When I talk to a microphone I can’t seem to get the words out correctly. I get nervous that I am going to mess up then when I think I do it right I play it back and it … Continue reading Amanda Thacker’s Multipersonality- 2nd Inspire →

http://ds106.jlawumw.com/Noir/assign/keep-knocking/ This assignment inspires me because I have not had the easiest time with audio and this theme song is put together so well. After reading the intro to the track and it saying that this is the theme song to Harvey walking around knocking on doors for a living. The theme song had knocking … Continue reading Keep Knocking by CodingCrows- 1st inspire →

Ava Harlowe and Ol Mick Bretton have been good friends since they were kids. Mick decides to surprise Ava in Los Angeles. His trip starts in Atlanta and Mick hits a few road bumps along the way.

March 10: http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc1157/ Today’s daily create was to make a photo collage of the many sides of you. I chose these five pictures because they show my silly, loving, and animal obsessed side. (Obviously the best ones) March 11: http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc1158/ Today’s daily create was to make a drawing of your favorite part of the last week. I used…

  I used a quote from an original poem by Janelle Pierangelino and the other person she worked with. I chose the quote“.. the waging war between logic and passion” . This inspires my by getting my to think. Life does often make you choose between logic and passion, never finding a happy medium. Everyone argues passion … Continue reading When Love Calls… →

For this assignment I had to create a funny valentines day card. I recalled that during my radio show mine and  Mia Boleis’s characters flirted. So I came up with the idea of Micheal Bretton asking out Blair. This scenario works because Ol Mick is a detective and Blair is a crime scene investigator so … Continue reading Valentines Day Card from Ol Mick to Blair- 3 stars →

  I used Christina Hendricks picture of steps from her photo safari as one of my inspiration works. I just really love this picture because the steps look marble, and I like to imagine they lead to a different world. It captures urban beauty, and on top of that, the lighting and contrast are fantastic.

For one of my inspiration pieces I chose to use a What’s the Error? assignment. My computer crashed while I was originally trying to write this post, so I lost the original link to the inspire page, but I did upload it. Anyways… I chose this, unconventional piece of work to be part of my … Continue reading A Challenge →

I’ve made all of my weekly summary titles rhyme for many weeks now and I enjoy that fact. ANYWAYS Radio Show Listen-In I tuned into I believe 3 nights of radio noir this week but I only blogged and tweeted about the first one because I just wanted to listen to the others.  I listened … Read More

I chose Stephanie’s Eye Selfie to use as one of my inspirational pieces. You literally can’t go wrong with an eye picture because they’re all so expressive and  capture your unique color(s) and print, like a fingerprint. It seems like the longer you stare at it, the more influenced you are by it’s emotion, and you … Continue reading Eyes Are Windows to the Soul →

Well this week was certainly jammed packed with work in all of my classes! But miraculously, I made it to the end. This week for ds106, I had the change to make Sebastian Crane come to life even more by … Continue reading →

I’ve broken out of my shell! Commenting has always been intimidating because you really put yourself out there, and your opinions on display.

Love Calling Through the Night   Moonlight pools in from the open window, saving the man drowning in his own shadows. Throbbing temples, the internal voices pushing to be freed through his lips; the words he is afraid to say … Continue reading →

  For this character collaboration post, I chose to make a picture that contained not only the words from a poem, but the visual created by those words. The poem “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” is one … Continue reading →
