Week one is over in DS106 and the week started off with frustration. A domain of my own constantly crashed on my PC and in error I signed up on the Mary Wash blogs. Luckily this site works and I’ve been able to blog all week. I feel like I did a good job completing the […]

For my third and last Daily Create of the week, I created a classified add for the mystery machine! #ds106 #tdc1631 Machine for sale! In good condition, contact if interested. #dailycreate pic.twitter.com/ikpXHWMqTq — Katie Rauchwarg (@kerauch8) June 26, 2016 This 2001 John Deere farming equipment is up for grabs! This piece is hot and very […]

For my second visual assignment, I chose real life to cartoon collage. As i’m sitting here doing this assignment, I thought to myself what I really want to eat tonight. What great inspiration that was for my collage! I grabbed two pictures of cheeseburgers off of the internet. One is real and one is fake. There is […]

#ds106dc #tdc1631 $10 OBO! You haul it. What is it? Who knows! Probably would make a sweet doomsday bunker, though! pic.twitter.com/mKR5ZMNl3A — Elizabeth Caplan (@WalrusQueenAbby) June 26, 2016

This week has flown by but I’ve already learned so much! I think I did a pretty good job for week one if I say so myself. For one, I learned a lot about lighting through the Photo Safari and how the tones that lightbulbs cast really affect photos. I was really surprised at how … Continue reading It’s Been A Week Already?

Introduction on Twitter: Just starting Digital Storytelling today. Good to see you all #ds106 #FirstTweet — Tyler Gimple (@tyler_gimple) June 20, 2016 Introduction flickr:

One of my childhood homes was in Troutdale, Oregon. I spent a few years in this cute little house with my mom. It was just a two block stroll from the cute and antique shop filled downtown part of Troutdale. #ds106 #dailycreate #tds1630 This is my childhood home. A modest 2br 1ba in Oregon. pic.twitter.com/YXBVUsNK6b […]

There is a lot of information that has been handled during this week, most of it to me was overwhelming at first. But, I got the hang of it as the week progressed. I have learned so much about media and it’s uses. I can’t wait to learn more !! One of the first question … Continue reading Weekly Refection #1

Hello, My Name is Adriel Brooks I am a senior at UMW. I am currently enrolled in the BLS program as a Leadership and Management  major. I really love Chickfila so I guess that means you guys will be seeing a lot of Chickfila related things. I just would Like to say Hello This is @Chickfilalove87 … Continue reading Introduction

These are the assignments I did: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/car-lust/ I fell in love with this Lamborghini Countach the first time I saw one in the Cannonball Run. The car just makes me want to drive as fast as possible. Although the car is forty years old, it’s innovative design makes it look like  a modern day race […]

I pretend it was at least …..(This is how I usually write on my blog part of the title becomes the introduction, usually something sassy I think it really shows my personality,my style  and it has become my personal trade mark) In the beginning was Chickfia or rather the “Chicken Hut” as we (me and my co-works) … Continue reading A Pirate Scavenger Hunt for Treasure ……

So at the end of all my assignments I decided to go out (literally) and attempt to use a combination

Pay Attention to the Moment: This is one that to this day I sometimes have trouble with when filming. I’m too focused on what is in front of me and there have been times where the script or a tripod have made it into a shot. Frustrating! That being said, I love the abstract photo […]

PHOTO SAFARI Pictures are from the assignment, I ran around very fast so had some time to spare but didn’t want to shoot a re-do. I used my iPhone since I don’t have a camera anymore. I tried using some different perspectives then I normally would, especially with close-ups and some things out of focus. It […]

For my third visual assignment I decided to do Newspaper Blackout Poetry. I’ve been a fan of wordplay for a very long time, especially in comedy; from time to time I like to sit down and come up with palindromes… Continue Reading →

I’m a pop culture addict so for my second visual assignment I thought it would be fun to mess around with one of America’s most beloved families. Introducing… The Commie Crew! Trotsky, Engels, Ho Chi Minh, Marx, Adorno, Lenin, Guevara,… Continue Reading →

For today’s Digital Storytelling Daily Create, there were endless possibilities…but I didn’t have time to come up with any of them because I was busy with my other assignments/otherwise busy life. Then it didn’t matter because the clouds came out anyway. So I settled for “making” an old photo of mine turn into the perfect sunset … Continue reading Is that “dramatic” enough?

Visual Assignment: that's not what I expectedHint: looks nasty ik, but it's actually delicious#ds106 #photography pic.twitter.com/aGRjM0s17l — Kevin Coleman (@kevinds106) June 24, 2016 I chose this assignment because I enjoy the idea of looking at things through a different point… Continue Reading →

This was a fun one. I took a picture that I’ve had of myself since I was a teenager (I’m 24 now), I took a trip to Disneyworld when I was 15, and celebrated my 16th birthday on a Disney cruise with my (then) best friend, and our moms. I have always been a big […]

This visual assignment really caught my eye. I love patterns and repetition, but I also love colors and chaos. This program, WeaveSilk, is amazingly beautiful. You create your own mixture of colors and patterns to create something truly you. Any type of program that can make me feel completely relaxed and peaceful is a necessity […]

Hawkeye is my favorite person (dog) to spend time with. He is my 5.5 year old Treeing Walker Hound. He weighs a hefty 65lbs, and as you can see from the collage, he LOVES to sleep. This is my second visual assignment of the week, and I’m feeling really stressed out trying to get all […]

Well, this was an interesting visual assignment. With the requirement being, take an eye (this is my eye), and overlay something into it like a reflection, as well as no background in photo editing, I think I did a fairly decent job. I got my eye on some pizza, and some pizza…on my eye. My […]

My first week in digital storytelling was exciting yet challenging. The beginning felt very overwhelming and intimidated me initially. However, once I got a better understanding of what was required and the assignments themselves, I felt better about completing the work. Unfortunately my grandmother passed away and the funeral was this week so I felt […]

(Regina on left, me on right) This is my visual assignment for creating a Spubble. This was really fun to do! The reason I chose this photo and the captions is because of a reoccurring thing that always happens to my friends and I when we go out- we get approached by people we just […]

BLACKMAIL For this Visual Assignment, the main objective was to take a picture of something recognizable but manipulate the lighting and movement to make it unrecognizable. (You can find the original assignment here). I chose to do this assignment because since the photo safari assignment challenged me to utilize this technique, I have fallen in love with […]

This is my first Visual Assignment. For this work, I had to take a close up picture of something and see if you all can guess what it is! Hint- I use this everyday when I am getting ready. This item usually sits out on my vanity and it completely one color. It can get […]
