Aight so I listened to the noir radio “Dinner at 6″ Thursday night…. the general premise of the show is like the game, Clue. There were a bunch of characters and their host was killed- so the group is trapped...

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/viral-video-re-enactment/ (Three and a Half Stars) For this assignment I had to find a viral video and re-enact it. I chose to re-enact the “Yosemitebear Mountain Double Rainbow 1-8-10″ video. This video went viral because the guy is overreacting to the double rainbow and starts crying. I thought it would be funny and entertaining if I did it … Continue reading Viral Video Re-enactment

Damn it, Lawrence, you gotta lay off the flowers. Victoire stared in wonder at the not one, but THREE bouquets of flowers that came to her door that afternoon. “You gotta be kidding me!” she said, shaking her head, “This...

I have enjoyed the radio weeks immensely. My group is wonderful, and we have gotten back together to create a video for next week! I think we work well together because we have such different personalities. I throw out the crazy ideas (many of which don’t work), Lauren records initial...

This week, I Tweeted along to Get a Clue. A couple things stood out to me as I listened that were incredibly well-done. First, the writing was perfect with all the slang and metaphors that are a classic part of 50s noir. Even the delivery of the monologues was classic,...

This week we finished up listening to radio shows and commenting on said radio shows. My group’s was on Tuesday at 9, so I sat on my couch anxiously as people listened to our story and tweeted their responses. Tweeting...

So for today’s daily create I took a wobbly- i mean”artistic”- picture of some flowers I currently have on my kitchen table. I dunno. Doesn’t really look like flowers, but I think the image is still pretty so I rolled...

For todays daily create we had to take an artsy blurry photo. I chose to take a picture of our tapestry, I then had to figure out how to make it blurry. To make this shot I stood across the room and started jumping up and down while taking the picture. This is what I … Continue reading Blur Photo

This week we only had to do 2 daily creates. I chose to do the junk mail art one yesterday: I would like to thank the Campus Christian Community for…

Well our radio show aired last week, so it has been awhile since I have thought about this, but I think I can still summon up a response for my…

Sorry this is a couple days late, but this week I listened to the radio show Get a Clue which aired on Tuesday night. I couldn’t believe how long it…

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

On Tuesday, I listed to the ds106 radio show called ‘Get a Clue.’ The radio show poster I saw weeks ago was so affective so I still remember and really wanted to listen to the show. The format of the show was really unique and professional. It was a flashback format so the listeners were able […]

Today’s Daily Create was to make a piece of art out of mail. Although mine is simple, I liked the meaning I had behind it. I had these thank you cards from different friends hung up in my room. A lot of the time, it’s really easy for me to forget how lucky I am … Continue reading Mail Art

The two daily creates I did for this week were Monday’s staircase to your dream and Wednesday’s Recycle your Junk Mail into art. For Monday’s stair case to your biggest dream, I chose to do graduating. Right now graduation is my primary goal. In order to reach graduation I need to finish up my last … Continue reading Stairs and Cycles →

Tonight I listened to the radio shows NOIR At Night and Silk Road. Silk Road was my favorite of the two so I will talk about that one. It was a really good show, listening to it was suspenseful and had some comedy in it that made it entertaining. They had sound effects like typing, … Continue reading Radio Show Listen Along Two

For todays daily create we had to make art out of mail we had laying around. I decided to make an origami flower out of newspaper. Each pedal is actually and individual piece of paper. To make this I had to cut out 10 different squares of newspaper and then fold each one to make … Continue reading Mail Art

Tis time for the final reflection for the radio show project. Listening to the show live was INCREDIBLY weird and a little stressful… mainly because I didn’t know if people would like our show. It looks like not too many...

Ironically, this week’s Daily creates were full of reminders about my upcoming graduation, and there is the fact that I also had to buy my cap and gown this week….. […]

Junk Mail Art Grab some junk mail and use it as the background for your art. Paint, colour over it, cut it up, make a collage, a storyboard. Recycle into […]

Coming back from week I felt I haven’t been around for so long! Week 8 just slipped by without a notice. It was a bit rocky getting back into the routine of the assignments. Looking through all the inspirations really moved me to become inspired in some way to rethink things or think things in […]

4 stars This scene shows Sara Sparkle and Rose King catching up with each other. They haven’t seen each other in 5 years.  Their emotions filled with joy when they were able to see each other and talk to one another after so long. They laughed and cried talking about the memories they had together […]

  4 Stars

4.5 Stars   To my sister Sara Sparkle. From Rose Sparkle (her maiden name before she got married and changed her name to Rose King). On the postcard, it reads, “Hey sister, hope you’re having a good time back at home with the family. I’m in Nashville getting ready to make it big in country […]

http://inspire.ds106.us/for-sale-one-wired-greek-2/ The picture inspires me to rethink who I am as a person and who I want to truly become. The barcode that codes with the unknown person speaks for itself. We all are unique and have an identity of ours...

http://inspire.ds106.us/firefly-minimalist-movie-poster/ The poster inspires me to appreciate the person I have each day. My husband! He’s my true hero. He’s also a marine fighting to protect not only the family but the U.S. This poster really inspires me to do more for those that protect us each day.

http://www.saharalkhelaifi.com/ds106/designblitz/ The unity picture that was posted reminded me of the time I used to watch kids Vietnamese learning shows. They used to show those small to big toy things. I always wanted one. I feel the inspiration to reflect back on my heritage when I saw the picture. It really took me back to […]

The story in the radio was interesting and was relative to history seeing that women working back then was a problem. The sound they used gave affect towards their subject matter and emphasized their theme. Overlapping sound made the radio more interesting to listen to. The radio show flowed well. It didn’t seem so cut […]

Wow, I can’t believe that the radio show is done. I loved getting to see what others in the class created and the all and all the process was pretty rewarding. I loved how we were really able to develop each of our characters and add another layer to them. It was also really neat […]

The intro to the show was very cool. The audio work they did was truly impressive. The sound effects were so incredibly realistic and well done. I loved listening to all the layers they made. Knowing how long editing takes the sheer amount of work done is impressive. I also like how they took the […]
