The Wind Shall Carry Us

lyrics image

Wouldn’t you want to find a magical bird person and go on an adventure with them? Just flying around the world with the wind beneath you wings with no care in  the world seems like a great  idea, especially if you are a stressed out college student. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be with a magical bird person. You can just travel around with the person or people that you love the most to help you forget about everything stressing you out and to go with the flow of the wind until it was time to let go again.

This one and a half star assignment required me to take some song lyrics of a top 100 song and add them to an image from The Big Picture. I decided to take the lyrics from the song, Lean On, by Major Lazer and DJ Snake and add them to an image of a kid looking at a person with penguin mask on. I figured the lyrics would work well with image and could create a story about just going with the wind and flying around.(Even though penguins can’t fly)

I once again used GIMP to create this assignment and it didn’t take that many steps to create the image you see above. I created a Text box and began to type the lyrics in. I then highlighted the text and right-clicked to select Path from Text.instructions

The last step is to then go under Edit and select Stroke Path to change/add a border to the letters. That is the white border that you see around each word.

I wish I had a Storm Warning

This assignment is called “The Big Hip Hop,” this is Design Assignment 12 worth 2 stars. These are the instructions: “Take any photo from The Big Picture and overlay it with lyrics from a Top 100 song. Similar to The Big Caption project. “

 

I chose this photo of South Korea getting hit by a typhoon because as soon as I saw it I thought of the song “Storm Warning” by Hunter Hayes. In his song, the “storm” is actually a girl, but it still works! :)

This is the chorus:

She’s a beautiful mess
The kind you love to love
But what happens next
I got a feeling when the sun comes up
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning
I’m gonna wish I had a sign
I’m gonna wish I had a little heads up
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system
Locked in on love
I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning
I’m gonna wish I had a storm warning

I used paint to create this photo. At first I just had all the lyrics typed in regular formation, but I hated it. Then I decided to try to make the words “storm warning” look like they were flying in the debris, but that looked stupid and you couldn’t tell what it even said. So finally I tried to break it up some just making “storm warning” different. I like this design much more! It is so much less boring. I do wish I could have made it look like it was flying in the debris though.

The Big Hip Hop( 2 star)

tongiht we are young

Valentines day is a day for everyone to feel young. The Song We are Young by Fun says it so well. unfortunatly my valentines day was not so great. I would like to think that next year my picture will apply! I designed this picture using picknik from flickr. I added lirycs to this picture that I fell in love with.

The Big Hip Hop

I thought this was a really cool photo for http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/the-big-hip-hop/. I took a line from the Jay Z Kanye track and i think i works well for the image, because this is honestly crazy to see what a natural disaster can do in some areas

Design Assignment 3 The Big Hip Hop Worth 2 Stars

Take any photo from The Big Picture http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ and overlay it with lyrics from a Top 100 song. Similar to The Big Caption project.

As soon as I saw this picture I knew the exact music lyric that would go with it LMAO sexy and I know it…it just screams the opposite.

The Big Hip Hop

I first went to http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ and found a picture of two people ice skating. Then I went to
www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100 and looked through the songs until I found one with suitable lyrics. I choose one of my favorite songs Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum. I used GIMP to add text to the image experimenting with the colors. I decided the image looked best in black and white.

The Big Hip Hop

 

This assignment was pretty straight-forward and simple. I took a photo from The Big Picture and a song from the Top 100 List, and added the lyrics in Picnic. I ended up choosing a photo under the skating category. I chose “Paradise” by Coldplay because the picture looked pretty paradisal to me, so the song seemed like a perfect match.

Design Assignment: The Big Picture

Mideast Egypt

For my third design assignment, I decided to choose the one where I had to take any photo from The Big Picture http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ and overlay it with lyrics from a Top 100 song. I chose the picture with thousands of people on a bridge with different flags along with the lyrics from Micheal Jackson’s song, We Are The World. This song reveals such a big message about life and love, that I believed it went with the picture as soon as I saw it!

Feb. first ds106 assignment

Flo Rida – Good Feeling

For my first assignment I did the “The Big Hip Hop” assignments in the Design Assignments. The instructions were

Take any photo from The Big Picture  and overlay it with lyrics from a Top 100 song. Similar to The Big Caption project.

Process: I first went to the website and found a picture that I found to be very beautiful and then I went to the billiaboards top 100 chart and looked at few songs and found the “Flo Rida – Good Feeling” to be just the music I liked. I went to google and found the lyrics and on Paint I posted the words into the pictures.

I also put in the music video if people want to listen and watch the music video or just want to sing along wit the lyrics!
