In this gif A man of the highest rank soon finds that rank is not everything, as he grows older he is cast aside and left no longer among the ranks.  Life was cruel and he believed he had been taught all there is to know about the world and about the life he was given.  He […]

Week two down! Woohoo! I feel like I’m finally starting to get the hang of this class. No I will not say I’m a pro, but this week didn’t stress me out as bad. I am definitely enjoying making all of these designs! The gif’s were probably my favorite this …

I used elements from Nintendo’s Kirby and Mario games Check out the gif! Assignment details I did this using Piskel. I started by drawing my background. Then I would duplicate the frame by clicking on the bottom right button. from there I would add the next step to the animation.  I would duplicate the frame each […]

Today’s daily create was to complete an old daily create (that was chosen randomly) but to do it wrong. @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1561 #tdc1603 Oh no! That's not VanGogh! pic.twitter.com/DMwzFBo3Ou — Amanda Leonard (@ds106_aleonard) May 29, 2016 Ooops. Looks like that’s Picasso.  

Have you ever wondered just how big ds106 is? I can’t tell you exactly how big it is, but I can tell you its bigger than a banana. But not just any banana. This big banana. @ds106dc #tdc1602 #ds106 What's bigger than this big banana? ds106. pic.twitter.com/4A21uVd7Aa — Amanda Leonard (@ds106_aleonard) May 29, 2016 This banana… Continue reading Just how big is ds106?

Thursday’s Daily Create was 2 truths and a lie. The object of this is to give 2 true statements about yourself and 1 lie about yourself and have others try to identify the lie. @ds106dc #tdc1600 #ds106 1. I was born on Thanksgiving 2. I live in North Carolina 3. Penguins are my favorite animal… Continue reading 2 Truths and a Lie

Note: This post contains 100% unedited photos. This is an actual photo of a cartoon dinosaur chasing a child down the beach. The dinosaur was never caught. He is still on the loose. Be on the lookout next time you go to the beach. @ds106dc obviously photoshopped#ds106 #tdc1598 pic.twitter.com/b62I51kRvX — Amanda Leonard (@ds106_aleonard) May 25, 2016… Continue reading This is definitely NOT photoshopped.

Are we there yet? is an assignment that requires you to take a photo and to alter its context in order to change its concept. When I babysit, one of the kids’ favorite things to do is to play dress up. The kids (a brother and sister) have every outfit from a chef to super… Continue reading Are we there yet?

I completed the barcode transformation assignment from the assignment bank. When I discovered this task, and saw the zebra example that was posted with the assignment description in the assignment bank, I knew that I wanted to transform my barcode into a penguin. (created by Sarah French) I chose a penguin for a couple of reasons… Continue reading Barcode Transformation

For this GIF we had to focus on eye movement. I wanted to do something creepy because when I think of eye movement, I think of scary movies and the weird puppet dolls. I looked up dolls eyes moving and found one on the Elf on a Shelf. I have a younger sister who is … Continue reading Eye See You

  This assignment was a little different for me because I have never tried to make a GIF before. The GIF assignment was to create a sports highlight reel, so obviously I had to choose my favorite football team. It is hard for me to think of important plays that happen because there are so … Continue reading Here We Go Steelers!!

Not on my work computer, had to improvise! The situation: Young Man:  Urging his sister, the young woman, not to go with the man that has found himself next to her. Older Man:  Spotted a young, pretty, and single plus one to take into the club with him.  He intends to use his obvious riches […]

This is the magazine cover I came up with.  I’ve always liked the retro style and I have a passion for gaming. Thus, I created a gaming magazine that combines the 8-bit and retro themes.  They go great together because 8-bit can be considered retro and is an older style the gaming industries used to […]

There is a lot of things to think about while designing something, especially if you are trying to follow some type of theme or style.  I had friends look at my designs and give me feedback before I progressed further into my designs.  This gave me a sense of what other people see in my designs […]

Hurry Up and Wait Animate one of those frustrating moments when you know time is moving forward, but it’s just so damn hard to tell. I think one of the most frustrating things that happen while using a Mac is when the user receives what I like to call the Rainbow Spinny Wheel of Death. […]

Here is my Tweet for this Daily Create: @ds106dc @cogdog I only have 9 followers on Twitter, so yeah I would say that is pretty massive #tdc1602 pic.twitter.com/MxBIb2Mcep — Hasan Shami (@hshami17) May 29, 2016

Favorite Musician GIF Choose your favorite musician, and then head to Youtube and pick one of their videos to make an animated gif of. Try to use the best quality video possible, preferably HD. I love things that are involved with musicians and if I had to pick my favorite singular musician it would be […]

For the Are We There Yet? design assignment, I created the image above of me supposedly relaxing on a cliff. Behind the Creation Apparently pictures like this are very popular nowadays where someone takes a shot of their feet hanging in mid air while they are looking down some high place. Unfortunately I am sitting […]

We have all probably had that one time where that weird ad pops up on our computer, followed by what seems like a million more. This is what is known as a virus. I can say I have had a pretty nasty virus on one of my computers before and lost just about everything on … Continue reading The Secret Virus

Here is what I made for the Tattoos 4Life assignment. Pretty geeky… Behind the Creation I thought this would be sort of funny as a tattoo. “delete[] poop;” is programming syntax for C++ for when you want to deallocate or destroy the memory block that poop is pointing too. The tattoo would be meant for […]

  For the Change of Scenery assignment, I created the photo above. I guess the daycare decided to hire the heavy metal band Slipknot to entertain the kids. Behind the Creation As strange as it may seem, I am a fan of rock and heavy metal. I don’t keep up with it nowadays but heavy […]

In my opinion, the easiest way to do assignments like these is by using Prezi. for this assignment, you are going to want to search up local attractions. google is always a good place to start. after you find the areas or places you wish to use, acquire images of those places.  Once you select your photos […]

Minimalism & Use of Space: These are two of my favorite poetry books. When I read the piece on minimalism, I instantly thought of the cover of them. I feel like the author really captures the essence of minimalism. The first book is about overcoming heart break. I think that …

If there is any type of car that I love, it is hands down any type of Jeep. I currently have a Jeep Liberty, and my dream car that is actually reasonable is a Jeep Wrangler, but my dream car that isn’t necessarily reasonable is the new 2015 Jeep Chief. It gives off that surfer/beach … Continue reading Jeeps For Life

Triple Rock Troll (2 Stars) As an homage to the popular Triple Quotes assignment, this one puts a rock music twist on it. Find an image of a well known rock star, add to it a phrase by song lyric by someone related in some way to the star in the image and then attribute the quote […]

For this design blitz, I took some pictures around my home of objects that exemplified 4 concepts of design. The 4 design concepts were Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, and Unity.
