    October 7, 2012
    Each student must write a blog post outlining his/her planned contributions to the radio show. In addition, each student must design a poster as an advertisement for their group’s show. I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do.  I haven’t been effectively communicating with my group so there’s a lot I’m unhappy about. ...

    The [design] assignment, Warning, by Tom “Lots of things today have warning labels. Create warning labels for things that exist only in movies or your imagination.”  Allowed for me to be able to focus on what keeps me awake sometimes.. now this is embarrassing but I have nightmares of trolls on tall bridges.. don’t ask me to explain because I wouldn’t know where to begin.. I made the photo a tad ironic considering I wanted to make it more fun than scary (: I just combined two pictures on Paint and here is the end product:

    May I present my humble attempt at a radio header. This is slightly different than a poster. It’s actually a little closer to a bumper sticker, only it’s meant for a webpage header. I used a “template” in the adobe illustrator p...

    I’ve gotten in the habit of putting off my DS106 homework til the end of the week. I can’t do that! Don’t let me do that! I loved doing all of the design work this week. It was a lot of fun. I did all of my design assignments, The Little Caption, Bumper Sticker, Cartoon Head, Letters in Your Surroundings, Lyric Typography, and Zombify Yourself. All of these were super fun to do, I loved making Brigid a zombie on PicMonkey, I especially loved making the caption photo as well. These all made me laugh really hard. Some more than others. My daily creates were actually fun as well, I … Continue reading →

    My contribution to the ds106 Weird Book Room. It seemed like the sort of thing someone named “Paisley” would write. I love book covers. I love them so much, you don’t even understand. There’s that trite old phrase about judgement, sure, but the fact is the cover of a book (or a movie, or an ...

    When I saw that one of the assignments was to make a bumper sticker for DS106 I got super excited. This one of of my favorite classes and I couldn’t help but make something cute/funny. I googled ‘Bumper Stickers’ for ideas, I saw one that said ‘I brake for hookers’ I though… I would brake for DS106. I stop all other work for it anyways. So The product ended up being ‘I Brake for DS106′ I used GIMP again to create this. I made a 2 layer image one layer being yellow, one black, and inserted the text. Super simple.

    I chose to do the assignment Cartoon The Head. I had an old picture of my friend George who I used to work with. We used to call him barney! I used GIMP to paste Barney’s head on George. I pasted the picture into GIMP and added the barney head as a layer, I cut off the while part and discarded it and scaled the head to fit over top of George’s. It looks a little funny.
