Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge
Assignment Value:
So far, 25 people have completed this assignment.
I was in Urban Outfitters the other day and stumbled across a postcard pack labeled “Unbridled Passion” by Franco Accornero. It’s a collection of 30 different postcards from an artist who has painted more than 5,000 romance novel covers (as well as westerns, thrillers and sci-fi books). The postcards are really ridiculous on their own, but I thought for this Valentine’s day I would make them even funnier but adding my own captions.
That’s where the 2012 Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge for #ds106 comes into play: I challenge you to make your own captions for these postcards! You can use any photo editor or the Aviary one built right into flickr to add the caption.
Download one blank card from my flick set and add a caption that raises the love spirit to a new level. In addition to writing it up on your blog, when you post yours to flickr include the tag ds106valentine so we can assemble them all into giant virtual card set.

Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge
2 and half stars https://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/valentines-day-caption-challenge/
For this assignment I am creating the scenario where Melody Bay has sneaked into the radio studio of House of Noir one night to listen to old Sebastian Crane tapes. She would never admit it but she finds his voice mesmerizing and enthralling. In a …
Some people just like to show off
For the Valentine visual assignment I chose to caption the following picture
I looked at all of the other cards in the set and thought of captions for a few of them but in the end I chose to do this one. This one seemed to be a bit more …
I lacked the confidence to give this to you, but I hope you say yes
I tried doing this assignment SO MANY TIMES this week and couldn’t come up with anything. Even this one isn’t too original (I don’t think), but it’s all I could think of. This was a silly, fun assignment though, and the timing was perfect for obvious reasons. It was probably …
Sneak A Peak
The challenge was to add a caption to one of 30 different valentine’s day postcards. These were no ordinary valentine’s day cards. To do this activity, I uploaded the picture to pixlr and added text with the online editing tool. I realize my inserted text was a bit childish, but …
Grammar are everything
Most of the other postcards could be inappropriate, so I went with something more tame.
Before I made this, I was chatting with my friends, and we decided that even if someone is attractive, when they have bad grammar–they lose any appeal they had.
So I grabbed this cover and …
Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge (2 Stars)
For this assignment, I decided to use this photo from Sara’s flickr set. I saved this photo and uploaded it onto Pixlr.com, a website Michael Branson-Smith talked about during this week’s ds106 show. On Pixlr, I used the text tool to add in the text, chose my font (an …
A Valentine Controversy from 1965
Jeb’s Telescope
from Hatchet Jack
Hatchet Jack posted a Valentine Book cover yesterday that sent my little mind whirling decades back to the sixties. The book, entitled “Jeb’s Telescope,” and written by “Remington Montana,” was very clearly a re-release of a very controversial novel that I encountered way back in …
Hey you over there…
I saw Alan post about this assignment this morning, so I followed the link and went for it. I’m married, so pickup lines aren’t my thing. The creepiness of the image I chose really stood out and makes me glad I don’t have to worry about peekers any more.
A Stimulating Valentine…
I have a bit of an odd sense of humor which I realized would be perfect for this week’s Valentine’s Day Caption Challenge assignment. As soon as I saw this illustration, I knew what I wanted to do. I decided to make a joke out of the man’s crotch, which …
You should be Afraid
I couldn’t resist a PMS take on this card, because I’m pretty sure this picture sums up my husband’s expression right around that time of the month. Do you think this is why some cultures isolate women at this time? Not because we’re ‘unclean” but because we’re scary?
Valentine’s Day Caption
The first visual assignment we were told to do was create a caption for a cheesy Valentine’s Day card. I thought the cards were hilarious and was excited to do it! After trying (and failing) to create the caption on GIMP I decided to resort to Photoshop since I have …
Valentine Challenge 2013
