The three star assignment Consumer Mashup directed us to mashup up two different corporate logos.

I frequent WaWa where I buy Powerade. To I decided to mashup their logos.

I obtained both company logos and misplaced the ‘wer’ in PowerAde with one of the ‘wa’s in WaWa. It was the only placement that made sense. I placed the Powerade logo ‘P’ so that it propagates from the bird’s beak.

The placement of the logos with respect to each other was the hardest part of the assignment to figure out. Placed anywhere else, the logos wouldn’t have meshed together.

The four and a half star assignment This Doesn’t Belong Here wasn’t too hard. It was pretty amusing.

I mashed up the scene in It’s a Wonderful Life where Jimmy Stewart was giving away the moon and the scene in ET where Elliot is flying in front of the moon. The result is seen below.

This was achieved by downloading stills of the two different scenes from the internet. I cut ET out of one picture and pasted him in the other.

I figured since the two scenes featured the moon, it would be amusing to see ET and Elliot flying in the background.

Overall, the assignment wasn’t hard, and it gave me a couple of laughs.

For this mashup assignment, we were required to combine three of our favorite holidays into one picture. To do so, I chose Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, and looked up pictures on Google pertaining to all three. I made sure they had a transparent background and brought it all together on PicMonkey.

Looks scary, huh?

Assignment: 10 Second Song Mashup

Assignment Description: This is some sort of variation on Katy Chase’s The Contest That Nobody Could Win assignment, but instead of clips from a TV show or movie, do clips from your favorite songs and see if anyone can guess what they are. Or atleast the artist. Do two or three second clips using 4 or 5 songs. Make them all different. Use soundcloud to post!

Top hits: This mashup is made up of 4 of my favorite songs right now, as well as 4 very well known songs. I don’t think that they are that hard to guess, but maybe you do! I included the chorus for all of them. Comment below, and I will be sure to comment back with all the right answers. (The soundcloud image makes it pretty obvious)

Madness behind the Mashup: I decided to use songs that I had downloaded into iTunes. Turns out, this didn’t work out as easily as I thought it would. I got pretty frustrated in this process. I finally googled some things, and found out that the iTunes file needs to be in mp3 format in order for me to import it into audacity. I went into iTunes preferences, and I was able to create an mp3 version of the songs. Once this was all done, I imported the 4 songs into audacity, and cut the songs to about 2-3 seconds each. I zoomed in a lot so that I could get the timing down perfectly. When it was all done, I uploaded to soundcloud, and embedded the file here.

Assignment: Mashing Friends and Emojis 4.5 Stars

Assignment Description: For this assignment you are to take a picture of one of your friends or just a person that is in the moment doing something exactly like an emoji and then mash them together for comparison.

Love of my life:  Hey y’all, Dr. Wisdom here! This was a great photo taken of me back in the day. It was the day that I met my wonderful wife. I walked in the bar, and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. She was and still is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I believe that my face looks most similar to this emoji to the right of me. I was quite embarrassed, and I do believe my cheeks turned bright red.

The Surgery of it all: A two picture photo collage really isn’t hard to make. I used the always fun BeFunky site to put together my collage. I just found both of these images on google, saved them, then uploaded them to BeFunky to make the collage.

For my second remix, I chose  the website title mash up. I chose to use Facebook and Instagram because those are my two favorite outlets of social media. When I remixed the assignment, my challenge was to incorporate a mustache into the picture.

I started the assignment by simply uploading this picture of the Instagram logo into a drawing/editing website called sketchpad.

I then covered the letters with white paint and added a textbox to change the word to Facebook. I kept the cursive looking font so that it would still match the original logo. Then I imported a picture of a mustache and placed it right below the word Facebook, almost as if the word is the face, which is punny because it is called Facebook.

Here is my final product:
