This show started out pretty interestingly. The creepy door gave me the chills. And I also really liked the intro to the story of Lawrence, who died. He sounds like a bit of a wild man, saying he is “usually the hunter” and gets tons of women. One thing I would have liked from him though … Continue reading Got A Clue →

Listening to our show live was different then listing to it while we made it. I could see how it all flowed together and what sounded good and bad. Getting feedback from people on twitter was my favorite part. People seemed to like it for the most part and it was fun to play along … Continue reading Radio Show Final Reflection

Overall, I’m very happy with how our radio show the MaNOIRpulators turned out. Kendall, Breezi, Amanda and I put in a lot of effort to write the dialogue, combine our characters’ stories and to get the show done. We paid special attention to the time periods, and made sure that everything that happened went along with our … Continue reading maNOIRpulating →

  For this assignment (worth four points), I had to design a lyric typography poster. I chose to use this to express the dynamic between Ami and Sebastian Crane, an assertive and powerful ex-lover. I used Photoshop to combine text and images. Concepts from the Vignelli Canon like using a grid and font recommendations helped […]

  This assignment (worth three stars) required me to tell a love story in three photos. I used this assignment to tell the story of Ami and John Brown, a handsome, wealthy lawyer from Florida visiting his birthplace, NY, for a few weeks. To create this, I took images from online and used photoshop to […]

For this assignment (worth 3 stars), I had to make an album cover through a detailed process for each aspect: title, band, and image.

1. Groom Ransom Note For this TDC I made this: I used Photoshop to make this image, combining a desk and a piece of paper with my own text to create a ransom note from the Athletic Dept. I chose to go this route with this because most of the other notes I saw were […]

On Tuesday night, I tuned into DS106 Radio to listen to Noir D&D, which was, from what I could gather, a recording of a board game being played (Sadly I missed the first couple of minutes where there was probably an explanation). This was a wild radio show. Wild in the classic Noir sense of […]

One of the assignments for this week was to write up four posts via inspire106. Here are the posts I picked and why they inspired me.   1.

This week has been pretty hectic to say the least. The first thing we had to do is find other people’s work, comment them and present them. It was interesting because it forced, encouraged us to find what inspired us. Another task we did was creating using our noir character and present them on twiter.…

Aubrey created a commercial that inspired me to want to really create that drink. I think people would love it and it would be something dangerous and sexy because it would be unique. I like marketing to a degree and she did great with her commercial.

I was able to … Continue reading A Week of Collaborations

Ok, so I did not actually do the tweet along because I was an idiot and did not save time in my schedule to hear it live. I did however listen to “Dead Silence” I thought it was amazing. I like how they used newer songs and blended everything together very nicely. It probably wont … Continue reading Tweet Along
