Today’s daily create was an ASCII selfie! I like it, because it hides the fact that I’m still in my pajamas and haven’t showered yet. in ascii, nobody knows you're greasy…✌️😥 #tdc1971 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/kM4SICcOCv — Rebecca S (@rivy3ds) June 2, 2017 It also reminds me of Pam’s summer project. Beesly!!!

A lot goes into graphic and design, as described by Vignelli. There’s a long and thorough thought process that must take place. Nothing happens over night, certainly not a succesful final project. Examples like the New York City Subway diagram is intense. The amount of time and effort that must go... Read more"Reflection on the Vignelli Canon"

Today’s daily create was easy, fun, and unique. By using the website provided, the webcam is turned into an ASCII image automatically. This makes the process simple, as long as you don’t mind taking a picture of your face. The image made of text characters is interesting to look at, although not very detailed (which …

I have a very talented friend who goes to Parsons…you know, the prestigious design school in New York City? Well she has always had an eye for design, something that I do not necessarily have. This unit has been harder than the photography unit because I have not practiced design as I have practiced photography. …

Daily Create Week 2 – # 2 ASCII Selfie http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1971/ #tdc1971 #ds106 Selfies…even in random symbols, still my least favorite thing to do. #ds106dc pic.twitter.com/IBMlCsCEop — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 2, 2017   Hey, my least favorite thing to do! It at least makes a little more sense than yesterday’s daily create at least… De  

GIF #2 Google. The most popular search engine in the world. The question is, what do people Google on everyday basis? For this assignment I had to type in the phrase, “I hate…” followed by a letter of the alphabet. Some of the results were very strange. For example, in the GIF below if you Read More

GIF #1 For our first GIF assignment I decided to base it off one of my favorite musicians, Chance the Rapper. The video I used is from the music video, May I Have This Dance by Francis and the Lights featuring Chance. I chose this video because most of Francis and the Lights music videos Read More

It’s been a wild year. I think a lot of people would agree. Sometimes there’s so much going on it’s like being caught in a tornado of unending crappiness, and all the debris keeps hitting you in the face and saying, “you thought that was the worst it could get? Look at THIS!” Smack! I’d definitely … Continue reading In the eye of the storm. Wait, wrong weather metaphor

Design Assignment #5 If you haven’t seen the TV show Riverdale and plan to, stop reading this post! Spoilers ahead! This assignment is based on designing your own suspect board. Coincidentally, this week I started watching the show Rivendale, which I used for my project. This show is about a wealthy family who loses their Read More

Someone is trying to pick a fight in today’s Daily Create! My girl isn’t into it though. She just wanted to see some dolphins, maybe get some ice cream. beach drama. no thanks. #tdc1970 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/7o66e4U75O — Rebecca S (@rivy3ds) June 1, 2017

I am on vacation so when I saw today’s daily create was a picture from the beach, I thought it would be fitting to complete it. I first attempted to use GIMP, but it was being so finicky and I didn’t have time to waste, so I went ahead and used trusty old Powerpoint. I …

While listening to the “We Are All Artists” broadcast I picked up some design tips I hadn’t thought of before. The first one that stuck with me was get uncomfortable. If you are playing it safe and not taking risks, the designs created won’t be anything spectacular. Along with that, thinking outside the box is …

Gif Assignment  Week 2 – # 1 Txt Gifs http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/txt-gifs/ I love gifs when they have contradicting phrases, so I quickly chose this assignment. I had two sets that can be interpreted as meaning the same thing. We, humans, crave being together, in a group, but really, at some points in life, we function better […]

Design Assignment Week 2 – # 5 Favorite Movie Quote http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/favorite-movie-quote/ As I said prior to this post, I am currently attempting to write a novel length story. This story’s main character is a twenty-something-year-old woman who is newly appointed a guardian of sorts and receives a few lessons in magic. It also takes place […]

Daily Create Week 2 – #1 Charles Atlas, Charles Schmatlas, My Creativity is Bigger than Your Muscles http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1970/ #tdc1970 I have no idea what exactly I’m doing. #ds106 #ds106dc pic.twitter.com/vuwIIToT4w — De. Norman (@de_normal1) June 1, 2017   This was by far the weirdest thing so far. It makes no sense, I have no idea what […]

Daily Create #4 You know the feeling when you meet someone and you both just ‘click’? After that moment you know that the two of you are going to be good friends. Well that’s what happened to me and my friend, Jenna. Our story began when we were six years old and we’ve been together Read More

I LOVE today’s daily create! My favorite color is pink so it was easy to show my “pink appreciation.” I had so many pictures of me dressed in pink. I included pictures from different points in my life to show how my appreciation for pink has never wavered. From my youngest days to just yesterday …

Take an actor’s mistake and turn it into an animated GIF. I found this assignment , worth 2 stars, on someones else’s blog, and was inspired to create my own version because I love blooper reels. I frequently spend time on Youtube looking at my favorite show’s blooper reels. Making this project was the most fun …

I’m a person who loves scary stories – I like ghost stories, stories about weird creatures, and stories about hearing a tap-tap-tap on the window but no one is there. I love them even though they scare the living daylights out of me. Usually after a spooky-show-bender, I have to watch a few episodes of … Continue reading What the heck is that?!

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the best at video games. Sometimes I just play them the exact opposite of how they’re meant to be played, like taking a Mario Kart route backwards just to see how everything looks like going the wrong way. When there’s a boss fight, or any inkling … Continue reading Sorry Zelda, I’m busy. Cooking.

For my second ever gif (I really like making them, even if my computer doesn’t!) I went with the Goof Gif assignment. I love blooper reels and if I could, I’d buy box sets of all of my favorite shows just for blooper reels, deleted scenes, and commentary. I had a hard time choosing whether I wanted … Continue reading That’s not something that props can fix… that’s gonna be a little harder to fix!

Design Assignment #3 Around the Christmas season we all like to bake cookies, buy presents for one another, watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music. But what about Christmas books (other than The Night Before Christmas)? My childhood involved my family reading Dr. Suess’s classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This is why I Read More

The daily create today was all about pink appreciation and there are quite a few pink things in my life that I love. This morning one of my cats was sleeping and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth (shoutout to r/blep and other blep collections) but I wasn’t able to get a picture without … Continue reading Cat feet

Design Assignment Week 2 – # 4 Contradiction Creation http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/contradiction-creation/ I’ve been trying to write a novel length piece for over, what, ten years? I have been rejected. I have heard every single word of doubt. I have watched people have the same idea and somehow perform better. It doesn’t matter how much time has […]

Design Assignment Week 2 – # 3 Minimalist TV/Movie Poster http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/minimalist-tvmovie-poster/ Hey, so I saw this design assignment and my head instantly thought of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Not going to lie, I haven’t seen it, and I really don’t want to, seeing as I have read the plot and it reminds me […]
