Star Yam 13: The Final Leftovers is the next series of adventures for Captain James T. Fork of the Starship Yamterprise, it’s 9 year mission, to sek out new plates and new celebrations, to boldly go where no yam has gone before!

It’s a Yam Jam Theme, starting with Lisa Lane sailing the Yam Boat, Scottlo showing the Yam Who Would Be King, and next, MBS taking my favorite starchy movie, Cool Hand Yam (goes well with eggs).

How could I resist? I’m no spud.

Now someone needs to make this assignment for ds106, as this is getting out of yam. It could put a whole now flavor on mashed-up assignments.

UPDATE for red shirted ensign ds106ers! This is now officially an assignment with the tag VisualAssignments311

There are monsters out there, zombies, vampires, aliens, amrching your way, dargginth eir limbs, dribbling their gob, hoisting their sharp implements… What will you do when ds106 knocks at your door? will you just mutter “It’s only a MOOC, it’s only a MOOC…”

“You’ll wish it were only a MOOC.”

“The assignments are driving him crazy.”

“Sometimes GIF is better.”

“ds106 doesn’t take no for an answer.”

“Sooner or later they will McGuffin you.”

“If you’re going to blog the truth, make sure it stays published.”

“You’ll wish art was only make believe.”

“Your every fear — all in one deadly course.”

“…and remember, the next mashup you hear may be your own!”

“Be reflective. Be very reflective.”

Deliverance Minimalist Movie Poster

Seeing Jim Groom’s minimalist movie poster for the The Thing finally get some love from Web Urbanist inspired me to finally take a stab at this assignment. I actually don’t need a lot of prodding to make a piece of design (especially for ds106).

Deliverance Minimalist Movie Poster

My poster is for the John Boorman classic “Deliverance” starring Jon Voight. The song Dueling Banjos was made famous by the film, though apparently the original composer went uncredited (didn’t know that until now). The scene in which Drew plays the guitar and a boy plays the banjo is probably one of the most memorable scenes, and sets the tension in the film between the “city boys” and the “locals.”

I made the poster mashing a couple of previous ds106 assignments actually. I’d done a four icon challenge of Deliverance from which I reused the arrow, banjo, and title. And the background was reused from the “averaging flickr assignment.”

A little extra work was done to create the hole in the banjo from the arrow using the vector tool in Illustrator. And I did some hue/saturation work on the background in Photoshop to rework the yellow averaging flicker image into a muted green.

My original interest was in taking several songs mashing them together and creating a strange tone, i ended up liking it in a way that i didn’t think i would and now use it as my ringtone. i took 4 songs used about 15 different types of effects on them each tried to have them not match at all and put them together. see if you can spot the changes in the songs, or the added parts enjoy.

For my first assignment I choose to do one from the mashup group . The assignment I choose was the Remix an Album Cover. For this assingment i choose to use a kanye west alum cover because he is my favorite artist . I used his 808 & Heartbreak cover , in this album there is a song called heartless and on the cover there is a picture of a broken heart white gloves pretty much tearing it apart . I choose a sentence from the song heartless , “how could you be so heartless”, and wrote a somewhat funny answer. I changed the color of the text to go with the one that was already on there and i paint brushed the  808 & Heartbreak because i felt it didnt go with what i wrote . so here is the cover …
