My cousin was got married today. We got up early to go get our nails done. I figured it was a great day to do this project! I walked around the mall taking photos of a few signs and advertisements I liked. This represents minimalism & use of space This represents typography. There aren’t very […]

Some of the categories were related to DS106 and others were more of less how I’ve been feeling lately. I feel this daily create allows our classmates to learn more about each other on a personal level. It allowed me to … Continue reading →

This assignment was actually pretty hard. It was totally worth all 4.5 stars. I had to make a three point venn diagram. I haven’t made a venn diagram since I was in grade school. To create this image first I googled looking for generator online. This site made it super easy to use. First Click […]

Above are my daily creates, Water and Glass Moving Around and My Empathy Map. For the water and the glass, I wasn’t too sure of any other idea than some of what each and every other person took a video of, a glass you drink from and water. Well, the only other twist I could think of was […]

For my empathy map, I choose to do it on my whole senior year of college and all the emotions I have been feeling.

I am a huge fan of the these guessing assignments! This assignment we had to take 4 icons and be able to guess the movie. To complete this assignment I went to google images, typed in item (word I was looking for) silhouette.     So?! any guess?!!           Hopefully you guessed […]

Here’s my go at One Story/Four Icons.  This will probably be an easy guess for most people, but I chose to do this movie anyways because it is a classic and one of my favorites!   Here are the credits for the pictures.  I did not list the source for the feather as it is... Continue reading →

though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. i have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. “the old astronomer to his pupil” by sarah williams I originally found this poem... Continue Reading →

Right now I am home in Virginia Beach.  I took a video of the biggest “glass” of water we have at my house, the hot tub.

A combination of Walmart and Target. I choose Walmart and Target, because I wanted two well known corporations that people would recognize. I created it using GIMP  a free photo editing software. I overlapped the target symbol and put it on the end of the Walmart, creation a new name Walma, as well as made the […]

One of the assignments I chose to do was create a DS106 Post Secret (2 stars): It’s time to get real! Design your own ds106 themed Post Secret postcard. Use photo editing software to experiment with different fonts and layering… Continue Reading →

Ds106 WWII propaganda poster. We can do it DS106!! The idea behind my poster is motivation for our DS106 section. The poster comes from the very popular Rosie the Riveter poster from WWII to show that the support behind the war was coming from the home front. Also to advertise that women were taking on […]

While browsing the Design Assignment bank I came across the Fast Forward assignment.  Immediately, I knew that I had to do this assignment.  Conveniently enough, back in April I downloaded the AgingBooth app on a whim from the iTunes app store onto my phone. The app allows the user to take a picture of their face,... Continue reading →

Hey guys! Here is my empathy map about this class along with things going on with during the semester. Hope you guys can relate!

I chose to do the “Minimalist TV/Movie Poster” (3.5 stars) assignment in the category of “Design/Re-designing Posters” in this weeks Design Assignments. Unsure of which movie to chose, I decided to stick to Disney movies to simplify my options, and… Continue Reading →

This assignment took me way longer to complete than it probably should have, simply because I was not very familiar with GIMP, the image manipulation software that I used to make this poster.  Once I got a grasp of the software however, making the poster became a breeze!  Breaking Bad is one of my favorite...

What I have done with this poster is taken all 7 of the Harry Potter movies and combined them into one poster: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Harry Potter and the Order […]

So for today’s (10/2) daily create, we were to create an empathy map, keeping DS106 in mind. To do this I used Google Draw to make an animated version of it: I generally had different shapes for specific reasons. In... Continue Reading →

I’m thinking of a movie, your only four hints are a microphone, drugs, a guitar, and love. It didn’t take me long to come up with a movie to use for this project. The harder part was representing the movie in just four pictures, and not giving away what movie I was using. The movie […]

  For this assignment, I initially thought that I wanted to use a movie. After seeing a previous post re-creating Snow White, I toyed with the idea of using my own favorite Disney/folk tale movie: Sleeping Beauty. Then, I re-considered... Continue Reading →

Between our two options for “Visual Thinking and Symbols” this week, I chose “One Story/Four Icons” which is 2.5 stars. To keep it easy and stop myself from trying to remember every movie I’ve seen, I just chose to do… Continue Reading →

So yesterday, I remembered to bring my camera with me on my way to class. I originally planned to shoot all my photos around campus, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Instead, I decided to park my car on Princess … Continue reading →

Hey guys I made an empathy map for today’s daily create tell me if any of you guys can relate to what I’m feeling in DS106 right now!

I drew on my empathy map. I am seeing love my roommates are cuddling on the couch watching tv, just being silly. I am hearing the music I am listening to. I just finished rugby practice. I am feeling really happy and all I want is for summer to stay forever because I am not […]

This kind of baffled me. I am still not quite sure what his daily create is asking of me, but here it is. I guess I feel like just about everyone in this class would say or feel that there is a lot of work involved, and while it is fun, it can be a […]

Original Assignment (3 stars) I thought this was a cool assignment, since I like to dabble into designing (album covers, promo posters) from time to time. There were some really good looking World War 2 posters that I came across on … Continue reading →

You’re Invited I am more on the short, sweet and to the point type of person, so I decided to create a save the date invitation! I am a southern girl so I decided to play along with the southern theme. I’ve always loved everything about weddings and the decorations  of them, so this assignment […]

Nothing too creative here… I was actually thirsty for some water so this worked out great. Shot this short vid with my Canon DSLR then imported it into iMovie. From there, I made a few minor edit’s, added some background … Continue reading →
