I love these Daily Creates! I wasn’t so sure about todays, though, because that’s a little embarrassing to try and open a water bottle with your feet, but I did it anyway and somehow succeeded! It took a while to do, so good thing Twitter only allows 30 seconds on their videos or mine would’ve … Continue reading Human or Monkey?

For this Design Assignment I chose to do the Missing Person poster. I knew I kind of wanted to do something that wasn’t taken seriously, and I also knew I didn’t just want to make a random character up. I started thinking of celebrities that are really popular and always in the news, and who … Continue reading Justin Bieber is Missing!!

  This post is dedicated to the Design Assignment “4 Icons/1 Movie”. I picked this one because I love movies probably just as much as I love music; I have seen quite a few. As I was trying to come up with a movie, though, I was getting stumped. It is as if I forgot … Continue reading Guess That Movie!

HAHA gotcha with the title!! Obviously I didn’t climb Mt. Everest, but how freaking awesome would that be if I did!? I took a picture of me sitting on some rocks at Great Falls doing a yoga pose and photoshopped it to make me look like I was just chilling on top of the Mt. … Continue reading I CLIMBED MT. EVEREST!

Since you’re here I’m assuming you checked out and liked my “Are We There Yet?” design assignment. Well lucky you! I am now going to show you how to make your very own! Start out by first selecting the two pictures you are going to merge. Here are the initial …

http://daily.ds106.us/tdc1598/ Here is what I did for this daily create: @ds106dc I didn't do it right cause this is definitely a real pic of me when I played soccer professionally #tdc1598 pic.twitter.com/E4FZC39m9K — Hasan Shami (@hshami17) May 25, 2016

Changing locations without actually changing locations is quite a confusing concept. Well I managed to make that concept work through the “Are We There Yet?” design assignment. The assignment require that you change the concept of where the photo is and what actions are going on in the photo. Initially …

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/best-sports-play/ For this GIF assignment, I decided to get a clip of Lionel Messi’s second goal for Barcelona when they played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. RIP Boateng and his ankles (the defender who fell over). Not only did he break the defenders ankles, he then went on to chip the […]

@ds106dc My first OBVIOUSLY photoshopped photo ! #ds106 #tdc1598 pic.twitter.com/MIfZcGGeLS — Joskamery Tavarez (@joskamtav) May 24, 2016

I had a few ideas when doing this just because I have so many funny pictures of friends and of myself that could be added into another picture to be funny. I was going through my pictures on my computer and came across this one from this past July 4th. Immediately when I saw it … Continue reading Beach Girls Gone Rock

After reading this short booklet, it is very obvious that Vignelli is extremely passionate about the different aspects of graphic design. I started noticing throughout the reading that the word “design” was capitalized just about every time the word showed up. I thought this was interesting because you don’t really see words like that capitalized, … Continue reading Wise Words of Massimo Vignelli

Whew! That was a long week! Just like everyone else, I read and reread the warning email, convinced myself that this class would still be totally doable, and decided to stay registered in the course. And, I hope (??), just like everyone else, was totally shocked when the course went underway and was faced with […]

While I’m no pro photographer I am pretty good at using autofocus and bursting. After reading about some basic visual principles from TEN: Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft. None of Them Involve Buying Gear by David duChemin it made me reanalyze my photographs to see if I had been using these values. One picture […]

I’m a point and shoot kind of person, guilty as charged. I suppose this is just my general feeling of impatience, creeping its way into my photography. For whatever reason, I’ve never felt confident with my photos. Other forms of art always seemed to come naturally to me, but photos, not so much. This week was […]

For DS106 I had to do some things I hadn’t done before. Prior to this class I already had a YouTube and other social media but I went and had to create things like a Flickr and SoundCloud so that my creations have a platform. Creating these accounts were pretty easy overall and were the […]

As a vegan, I get a lot of questions… Well, what do you eat?! My answer: a whole lot, actually! I looooove food, and I’ll be real- if I found this diet to be annoyingly restrictive or devoid of delicious food, I would’ve bailed a long long time ago. My favorite form of advocacy starts with a conversation […]

Setting up the Domain was definitely harder than setting up simple social media accounts.  Posting on the different sites however, has been difficult.  I simply don’t know what to post about, especially since they are for the class.  I like keeping it simple and only related to the class.  However, that leaves me with a […]

I used the “Get Pickier” and “Pay attention to the moment” tips It was an interesting experience, a little rushed, having only 15 minutes to complete to the safari.  It opened my eyes to the different perspectives on even the little things.   I enjoyed the experience and had fun with my dogs Grace and […]

    Reflection: This experience was a rush of excitement and opportunity.  Running around looking for things to photograph and trying to remember the different themes asked of us.  I took a little under 15 minutes, I did not get much, but I enjoyed doing this.  

  First thing I’ll say is do not procrastinate. I joined the class just before the Tuesday deadline at 5 p.m. Despite various warnings from the professor about participating daily, I procrastinated. I realize now after spending almost my whole Sunday in front of my computer that ds106 is not to be crammed. Picking my … Continue reading This Week ergh Day in Review →

I noticed that I will be using and learning many skills to accomplish what is needed for this course.  So far I have had to sing, draw, write poems, and edit photos.  My skills in utilizing the different social media sites are poor, I’ve never used them.  I am sure this course will change that, […]

I completed my photo safari on the 2nd floor of my home. Here is the line up for my photo safari:             This was a interesting experience for me since I am not the type of person who really puts a lot of thought into taking pictures. It was strange […]

Hello, my name is Rose. I am attending the University of Mary Washington. I’ll be posting for a summer course, things should be interesting.  There will be all kinds of different posts on this site, keeping me on my toes! you can check me out elsewhere: Flick – https://www.flickr.com/photos/140946071@N02/ Twitter – https://twitter.com/FlmngRose Soundcloud – https://soundcloud.com/user-47931812 Gravatar – https://en.gravatar.com/flmingrose Vimeo […]

If there’s one thing in the world I love, it’s travelling. I grew up all over the country, and have relatives on every coast. My I took my first plane ride alone when I was 8, and my last one about a week ago. Being in different biospheres, eating new food, learning about new cultures… […]

Here’s to Week One! I had a lot of fun this week completing these assignments. I definitely had to step outside of my comfort zone – I am not one to post many things – or anything really –  online. I found that I was generally able to create the assignments and edit the images… Continue reading Weekly Summary 1

I was sitting outside waiting to be picked up after practice when I took this picture.     I changed the tint, saturation, and the temperature of the picture.

This sleeping beauty is the result of poor placement. Events such as this can happen through player manipulation. In this case, I was trying to hide a body.  I threw her on the bunk beds when this happened.  Her body started shaking and jumping around, then her wrist got caught on the top bunk.  Body […]

Living in the Pacific Northwest means rain – and lots of it. For my Photo Safari I was confined to the downstairs of my house (living room, dining room, and bathroom). It was definitely a struggle to get the right lighting for a lot of these with the lack of natural light from outside. Still, […]

After reading through the tips for becoming a better photographer that were pulled from David duChemin’s book Ten: Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft Without Buying Gear, I decided to focus on using the tip to create depth within the photo. The tip says to “play with foreground, lines, use of wide angle lenses, and [the]… Continue reading Giving the Photography Tips a Go

http://www.ameliaearhart.com/ So, for the most part this past week has been an exercise in frustration for me and feeling as though I should’ve stayed in my cave and continued to let technology pass me by.  The instructor’s laid it all out pretty simply, and there’s a wealth of instructions.  I guess if someone’s describing the […]
