In this phone call, Edie is attempting to contact Isabelle in order to gain information about the process Isabelle, a famous scientist, used to isolate … Continue reading Aco-naughty →

My final inspired post is by Megan Rosengrant. One of the thing’s I really like about Megan’s blog in general is the amount of time she’s dedicated to really build up her character. This audio assignment is a classic example of that. Just because Victoire is bank robber, doesn’t mean she’s not happy. I especially […]

The radio show that I listened in on was the one about Maury Show and who murdered who and who was the father. I found it to be very interesting. The way that they explained everything and introduced things after breaks really helped me to understand the show better. Also I liked the many sound […]

After having Claudia Rose on my show for DS106 Radio, I got really intrigued in her story. So, I decided that I would make a photo that’s a good representation of something big that’s going on in her life right now. As most of you know, she killed her husband. I used these silhouettes to … Continue reading DS106 Wallpaper

This week was all about our radio shows and developing our characters.

This week was similar to other weeks, and different at the same time. Instead of life Tweeting along with a 1950s noir show, we listened to our classmates’ shows. Instead of further developing our individual characters, we incorporated multiple characters into our assignments. However, the assignments were still lots of...

For my last inspire post, I chose Stephanie Henderson’s In the Jungle the Mighty Jungle. Below is what I posted with on Inspire for it: This post is a short story written by Stephanie Henderson.

To start, I have attached two screenshots below of the tweets I sent during The “NOIR not the Father” show. I can’t say enough about this radio show.

Besides listening in to my group’s radio show, The Steadfast Sleuths, I also listened in on Monday to the radio shows of House of Noir and Noir We There Yet? for this assignment.

I had to include this as one of my inspired posts because I love Tiffany‘s audio work. She did an incredible job putting our radio show together. What first inspired me about Tiffany’s work, however, was hearing her radio bumper the first time I did my radio tweet-along. It sounded professionally done and really pushed […]

I thought about creating ds106 wallpaper (4 pts) when we did design assignments, but I decided not to. Now, I decided to go for it and incorporate my character and others into it. At first, I had the idea to use the silhouettes from my Steadfast Sleuths poster in the...

I was also inspired by kkroehl this week. As I described in the post on the Inspire sight, I love reading everyone’s characters and learning about them, so I had to post about someone’s character. They’re all inspiring to me and I thought Sasha Kellogg would be a good example! Here is what I said … Continue reading the inspiration of character →

I love this visual assignment created by Amanda Layton! I regularly see the work she posts on the noir106 feed and I think it’s really fantastic.

Okay so this week has been absolutely exhausting; planning for the future and keeping up with work are not easy to do at the same time! I am so happy…

http://inspire.ds106.us/sunset-in-melbourne-australia-2/ Christina, this is incredible. I have a huge appreciation for nature and the capture of this sunset is beautiful.

http://rambling.wafflestomping.com/ds106/buckets-behind-bars/ This assignment was so simple yet so effective. The implementation of Professor Groom was brilliant and it even kind of looks like him!

http://www.techsavvyed.net/archives/1872 Ben Rimes really went hard on this assignment.

When I hear the first ds106 radio show on Monday, the commercials were so great. One of the commercial I was shocked when I hear was an airline commercial. It was so great and real, the actual airline company could use it. I was looking through classmates’ posts, I found the commercial that I heard […]

One assignment I did this week is focused on my new husband (of course). I wanted to make him a Valentine’s Day Card since we weren’t married on Valentine’s and I love the holiday.
