Design Blitzd
So, one of our tasks for this week in DS106 was to go out and take pictures of objects that demonstrated aspects of design. From my understanding, our subject could be anything, so long as it had to do with one of the elements mentioned on the assignment page. Having this much freedom was a…

Three More Creates
This week was pretty good so far, and I was actually able to complete my daily creates a bit early. To start off, I replaced the word love in a song with Monty Python. Why did it have to be Monty Python? What do they have to do with it? Who knows. All that matters…

Gamer Zone
One design project that caught my eye was the Remixed Game Covers assignment. It was interesting to me because the image used as an example was for an Atari game, and Atari is a game company that seems to get very little love from the mainstream public nowadays. After seeing this, I thought it would…

Gif Time Babee
In one of my past weekly reflections, I lamented the fact that I did not make any gif assignments. Gifs are a form of media that I don’t use that often and had no experience with creating, so the idea of trying to learn an entirely new skill while also completing enough stars worth of…

Thoughts about Design
Reviewing the materials on design helped me understand a lot about what goes into creating appealing advertisements. I had noticed some of the film poster tropes that were described in the Vanity Fair video, but the presenter’s breakdown of each genre really helped me understand them better, and the examples shown did a good job…

Week 5
This was it. This was the week when everything started to fall apart. Let’s start with the positives. I was able to complete all of the assigned work this week. I was able to all three of my Daily Creates on each of their assigned days, even if some of them were posted a bit…

At the Diner
The last audio assignment I completed for this class was a sound effects story. For this assignment we had to create a short narrative using only sound effects. Since I had already set my other two audio assignments in restaurants, I decided to make this one “restaurant themed” as well. This time I wanted to…

British Man Orders Food
Since I am studying theatre, I seem to have naturally gravitated towards some of the more performance-based assignments in the assignment bank. For this one, we had to use our best accent to order food from McDonald’s. I decided to use a British Accent as most of my other accents are abysmal. I did the…

Daily Creates Vol. 4
Three more daily creates. The first one had us white out some words in a poem in order to make an entirely new one. Or, in my case, a stripped down version of the original. Next, I had to make a piece of art focused on one of the elements on the Periodic Table. I…

A Horse: Scene From a Failing Marriage
Last semester, I took a playwriting course. In it, I ended up writing quite a few short scripts for scenes. While browsing the Audio Assignments in the assignment bank, I saw that one of them was to act out a scene from a play. So, I decided to act out one of the scenes I…
