The concept is to mashup something along the lines of a public apology, a commercial, a pandering politcial speech or anything you’d like to mock for the public good.
Here are the steps-
1. Pull the audio as an mp3 from YouTube using Zamzar or something similar.
2. Import it into audacity or any audio mixer you have
3. Import the music you want to layer behind the audio
4. Edit to taste
5. Upload to soundcloud
6. Share the link
Get ready to sing with yourself!
Record at least 3 different voice tracks of you singing 15-20 seconds of your favorite song (or make up a song of your own.) Then put the tracks together to make it sound like you’re singing with other people. Ta-dah! Instant Barber Shop Quartet!
Include harmonization for extra kudos!
Playing on the ds106 design assignment “Movie Trading Cards,” which basically asks you to make a trading card for a scene from your favorite movie. With this assignment we are asking you to take it a step further and animate it!
Create a book cover that captures the essence of the story through the use of minimalist design/iconography.
Inspired by the Minimalist TV/Movie Poster Assignment.
Find or scan an old advertisement (high resolution) and create a piece of cool clip art by extracting and cleaning up a particular element. Be sure to use a PNG file type to preserve transparencies, and try to make a high and medium resolution version. Inspired by Phil A Go’s awesome Toyota Corona Graphic Gift.
Movies are often based on books. Not this time. Design a book cover that is based on a movie. DO NOT use an image of the actor/s. Try to find or create imagery that captures the essence of the movie without using the actor’s picture.
Using Photoshop or Gimp, combine at least two images (you may also use text) to create a shocking message.
Make an acrostic poem collage. Use each letter from your name and go onto flickr and search for a picture that represents you. Then you any photoediting to make it a collage.
Edit it to make it fun and creative. See if people can figure out what your name is!
This is an idea I came up with when I checked out a website about photography and compositing (http://gizmodo.com/5965219/these-awesome-photoshops-are-perfect-because-they-were-well-planned/)
Took two or more photographs of yourself on one location. You must not change the position of the camera and take care that the light does not change either. Use a photo editing software to arrange yourself two or more times on the same location. You may use masks and layers or simply the selection tool and the paste command. It may be helpful if you have already experience with photo editing.
