Anybody living in Virginia last summer can relate to this episode of “The Twilight Zone.”  It was so hot that I would have believe the weatherman if he said it was caused by the sun coming closer for a visit.  The expression on the woman’s face in my gif was …

This assignment was to create an Animated GIF associated with the Twilight Zone. I decided that what better way to torture Mr. Bemis if he never did find his glasses. This is precisely what this is a GIF of!…

So this is kind of a working post because there is a lot more I need to learn about Creative Commons than I know right now, but I needed to get what little knowledge I have in my brain down on the blog.  As I learn more about this I …

Assignment: Create a animated trading card for a movie.

I decided to use this as one of my design assignments.  I feel like it is some thing each one of us should do this summer. My trading card is the sun from “Midnight Sun.”

So, long time listener first time blogger about Scottlo (kidding, he’s only had 14 for the ds106zone and I’ve been kind of bad at keeping up with it.)  So anyways, I usually listen to Scottlo while I’m at work which is a nice break, except for a few of them …

Assignment: Record what a 911 call would be like. Doesn’t have to be serious.

I wanted to be silly and have fun with this one. It is in tribute to The Twilight Zone, “Midnight Sun”.

This one I figured would be just fun and silly. The assignment was to make an outrageous McDonald’s drive through order in an accent. I added the remix of “Uncle Bob.” It is all my own voice, first recording.

So.. the world has been destroyed. And Bisme is left with his one love, books. But he can’t see. His glasses are broken. What happens next?

In my version of the ending..

Henry Bisme is devastated and alone in the library when an unexpected visit from an eye doctor nearly …

This project was a little tricky, because I had to play with the layers and the smudge tool a lot in order to maintain the aesthetic of the original design. I found the sun online and just layered one on top of the other. I couldn’t the font …

Remix classic bumper stickers to promote the cause(s) of ds106, ds106radio, and ds106tv.

For this assignment, I used photoshop to create this bumper sticker representing DS106.  I used the logo of the DS106 site so that everyone could recognize it instantly!  I think …

The whole idea of the play stressed me out just listening because it seems so difficult. This post made me feel a little bit behind the eight ball, but I am in the process of seeking extra help and all the ds106zoners are really helping me a lot.…

This assignment is pretty great. I hope Scott likes it, I asked to do a show with him and he never answered, so we’ll see.

Andrew Forgrave was kind enough to offer up a template, I thought’d be a waste not to use it.

I took an image, not directly from the episode of The Twilight Zone, but one from the comic book adaptation of ‘The Midnight Sun.’ Housed at this site: http://www.juniorlibraryguild.com/books/view.dT/9780802797209

Reflections

I enjoyed reading and researching Creative Commons and seeing just how it affected how I do my work. It makes me more deeply appreciate the public domain and that people want everyone to be able to share anything informative or educational.

The Scott LoDown podcasts are a neat way …

I had actually been wanting to do a project like this as soon as I realized how .gif were put together – last week when I learned because of this course. Anyway, I did mine a little different and maybe a little slow and ridiculously. I followed the normal procedure …
