Illustrating Odd Autocompletes
Assignment Value:
So far, 12 people have completed this assignment.
Google Autocomplete is an oracle with strange powers to bring oddities into your life. This assignment asks you to seek out that randomness. Start with a strong phrase (things like “I hate . . .” or “I love . . . ” seem to work well.) and run through the alphabet looking for really odd autocompletes. When you find a good one, screen capture it and create an illustration that represents the search string.

Elves Scare the Crap Out of Me
Illustrating Odd Autocompletes – 2.5 Points

A strange Google Autocomplete
So for this visual assignment I had to create an image using the results from a Google search where it automatically suggested some options. I started my search with “I hate it when…” and then added “my cat.” This is what Google came up with:

I Love It When Voldemort Uses My Shampoo
I chose to do this assignment because of all the fantastically majestic autocompletes I have seen on Google. I decided to use “I love it when…” and Google did the rest. I ended up with Voldemort showering… Autocomplete is a magical thing.

I Love It When It Rains Quotes
For my second visual assignment of the week, I decided to complete the Illustrating Odd Auto-completes challenge. When I Googled “I love…” I didn’t come up with much. I continued to add to the search until I came across “I love it when it rains quotes.” I thought it …
I hate it when spiders just sit there
[I usually do my ds106 stuff on Tumblr, but animated gifs over 1 MB become just gifs there, and I couldn’t make this one small enough without changing it substantially. Damn Tumblr.]
So there’s a new visual assignment for ds106 called “Illustrating odd autocompletes.” I think it’s …
