Then share your Piece on your blog or tweet it and explain your artistic process. Chrome Music Labs Assignments My artistic process was beautifully childish. I opened the link to the Song Maker […]
I have dabbled in listening to audio storytelling, meaning basically that I have listened to almost all of the Magnus Archives, and sometimes Trixie and Katyas’ Bald and the Beaufiful podcast, but Moon Graffiti was completely different. Moon Graffiti somehow managed to create a world out of sounds. It was the opposite of a silent […]
I used a few audio tracks from http://freesound.org as well as a .bmp image as a raw data file in Audacity to make this creepy ambiance. I used the fade in, fade out, and amplify effects to mix the tracks together and get the balance I wanted. I really liked how the .bmp file added …
Here is a sound effect story of waking up on a Saturday morning, getting ready, and running out the door to your car to head out for the day. The synth background music serves as the soundtrack and makes this feel like the opening of an 80’s teen movie. ...
Audio Storytelling Reflection As a history nerd, I loved listening to the “Moon Graffiti” episode. That was such a great way to tell stories, and to make these stories come to life. As I was listening, I got literal chills from their use of narration and sound effects/music. I am definitely going to check out ...
The audio effects throughout the Moon Graffiti podcast made me feel like I actually was present at the moon landing. As a history major, this is such a cool and unique way to tell history through audio. I really love podcasts/radio shows that are entertaining but also give you something to learn from. The beginning ...

This week was a lot of work, but overall enjoyable. The assignments made me get out of my head a bit and stop worrying so much about making mistakes, which I think was the point. Daily Creates: Photography: Visual Assignments: Photoblitz:
As usual, this week was another exciting, creative, and incredible experiences in this class. Graphic design is a passion of mine, especially when it comes to logo design and creating flyers and posters. Back in high school, I created the logo used by Rappahannock Aviation Outreach, which was essentially the
Perspective: Balance: Background/Foreground: Moment: Depth: Lighting: This article had a lot of really interesting and useful advice in it, but I think the main point is to make sure each image has a purpose, tells a part of the story you are trying to convey. I think this kind of mindfulness is important for any …
This is my favorite photo I’ve ever taken mostly because of the the subject, my cat. Artie doesn’t often sit still long enough to get this kind of portrait of her. I also really liked the lighting. This was probably taken one day when I got home from practice just a few minutes before sunset, …
In this universe, many me’s have joined together as partners in crime. Earth 27 me has just stolen the milk out of your fridge for Earth 42 me’s cereal, and Earth 212 me drove the getaway car. I used Gimp to edit multiples of myself into one photo. Each photo was a layer, and for …
