The assignment for this one was to take an image from the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I had recently just crossed paths with this poem again and so this assignment just seemed like it was made for me. This was the specific quote that I came across and it has been bouncing around ...

  This week we had to complete an array of visual assignments from the DS106 assignment bank. All of them were pretty cool, but this one stuck out to me. When I was first looking at this assignment I didn’t understand where everyone was getting the title and artist name. But have no fear it was all in the assignment! First you ...

Spent some more time doing some of the ds106 visual assignments.  I was drawn to the Troll Quote assignment.  My old desktop background was a picture of Patrick Stewart that said “Use the Force, Harry”, with the quote attributed to Gandalf.  That was the first example I had ever seen and it kept me in ...

  No, this remote is not white originally. This remote is originally black, but when put into Picnik, and inverting the colors, an entire new color pallet emerges.

  I absolutely LOVE pigs. In this assignment, I went on to Picnik and uploaded a picture that I had on my computer of a pig. I simply clicked on the “effects” tab, and then chose to “tint” this pig, so that he now is a teal color.

  This is my Ugly Doll whom I call Jack. This picture is taken in front of the lake in my town to signify how much we travel from school to home. I always bring him wherever we happen to be going, especially if I have to sleep somewhere strange for the night.

    This picture demonstrates what happens when I hang out with my best friend. There is always constant laughter about ourselves, other people, and life. It is a constant struggle to be serious with one another, and laughing just brightens up my day.

    You probably can’t read the poem that I created with the newspaper, but it reads:   After we post and record your notice. The end among others, order connection with You. This was a fairly simple project of just grabbing the nearest newspaper, and making art out of it by blacking out unnecessary ...

Oh! How I have always wanted to make silly animated gifs! So, after hours and hours of trying to follow useless tutorials and obnoxious hundred-step processes… I realized that I had Adobe Media Encoder.  The rest took like 2 minutes.  Tops.  Don’t I just feel the fool! Anyway, here’s my first gif ever: The one ...

Visual Assignment 11: 3 stars (sorry don’t know how to rotate it!)

Visual Assignment 348: 2 stars

The challenge for this assignment was to take a picture of household items and manipulate the colors.  I took a picture of our lemons that were in a bowl and played around the with the coloring.  I highlighted the lemon … Continue reading →

When first directed to read this post on Ed Parkour, a quick glance registered in my mind as “Ed Parker.”  The other martial artists in the room know who I’m talking about.  If you don’t, and you’re curious (and why wouldn’t you be?) you can read about him here.  Ed Parker was famous, among other ...

For this assignment, I was to incorporate a stick figure into an image to make it a “Sticky” Situation.  I found this adorable sticker of a stick figure girl and put it on an edited picture of my dog, Roxy. … Continue reading →
