Create a Pokemon card for yourself, what are your powers?
My pokemon card represnts the power of fight when it comes between me and my money and if anybody tries to mess with me I know how to defend myself and still look good doing it. I chose this pic to make the assignment more funny and interesting, i recently had used this picture for one of my visual assignments; take any picture and caption it with a meme. I used this picture and used the im rick james b**** meme. The way how i made this pokemon card I went to this website called http://tradingcardmaker.net/#generic-lv-x-pokemon-card-maker where I just designed everything in my own image. So I hope this card doesnt affend anybody, its all for laughs.
Take one of your own photographs, one from Flickr Creative Commons (http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/) or one from the DS 106 Flickr group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/ds-106/) and caption it
Did you ever think about what happens in a empty science classroom when no one is there? Well now you know when you leave a pair of skeletons in your science classroom or in your closet, they are bound to do something to pass the time. I heard of the saying skeletons in your closet, but these guys take it to a whole new level. So I hope this picture doesnt affend anybody, its all for laughs.
For this assignment I chose to make a Bad Guy Business Card. This character is from the movie: No Country for Old Men.
I made this in Photoshop. First I opened it using a yellow color and imposed the picture of Anton on the left. Then I used the filter called note paper to give him that effect. Under image balance, I changed around the numbers for the graininess andĀ reliefĀ as well and gave it that orange color.
For the Font I picked a font calledĀ Plantagenet Cherokee. Also under layers, I used the effect Inner Shadow and changed the color to red.
Make a custom map using Google Maps.
Use Google Maps to create your own custom map that includes photographs of places.
I’ve been playing with google maps and the google maps api for a while so was please t osee some familiar territory for this Assignment.
This afternoon Dorothy, my wife, and I took a walk round Ardinning Loch, we do this nearly every week often twice a week in the summer, It is a short walk that is always interesting. Ardinning is a SWT reserve.
I used Trails on my phone to record a kml and gps track. The kml file was imported int oa new google map. I uploaded the photos it was then just a matter of dropping on some pins, filling in a title and pasting in the url to the image file.

Over the last few year I’ve played with developing a workflow for creating maps like this using the GoogleMaps API. For this I use SuperCard, a mac scripting application. The project allows me to import a gpx file exported from Trails, get exif data for some pictures, iPhone photos have location data imbedded (It also lets me add locations to other pictures by comparing the time taken with the gps file). It then exports a gpx file which I upload to this website and a php file created a map.
Here is the Ardinning Walk map 120303 Ardinning and a whole set of Mapped Walks. In my opinion this has a few advantages over using google maps, you can embed audio & video, and the popup boxes link in sequence. It is also a faster to produce. Obviously it has the disadvantage of being a wee bit trickier to set up.
I’ve a fair number of blog posts going into this in a bit more detail: tagged googlemaps.
I think these sort of maps add another dimension to telling a story or presenting information. helping to tell a story in space as well as time. I can see this being incorporated into all sorts of class room projects, either for mapping learning experiences or creating fictional maps. This one The Kidnapped Trail – Google Maps is a great example of the possibilities.
It loks like I can kill two birds here: Google Maps Story ? MISSION: DS106
Alan Levine’s post about watching cool flick’s with Jim Groom finally got me to get of the snide and finish this animated movie poster for the amazing Hitchcock classic Rear Window. I have an older post with animated GIFs from Rear Window, but all things GIF need to ratcheted up a notch every few weeks.
This poster is was created for the limited theatrical re-realease of the movie in 1999 after an extensive restoration. I am a little disappointed with myself as if I were to really make something truly awesome, it would have been modeled after the original theatrical poster, which showcases all the happenings in the many neighbors windows. *Note to self, amazing summer project might include creating a number of Hitchcock animated movie poster GIFs.
To make this poster, I used the James Stewart GIF from the previous post, as well as made a new one for Grace Kelly. The work on Grace Kelly’s GIF was a lot tougher as it required the erasing of the background on ten separate frames (not fun). Here’s what one of the frames looked like beforehand:
To create the animation, I used the animation timeline in Photoshop in which you basically turn on and off different layers per frame. This is also a bit tedious, but it allows you to create some interesting timing options. Each frame can be assigned its own amount of time, which is how the pauses work. Here’s a look at a few frames of the animation timeline:
And here’s a look at the layers:
Since Alan’s post refers to Blow-Up as well as Rear Window, looks like I still have more work to do.
This assignment is called Design your own animal. We had to use at least 4 animal body parts, and create an environment for it. The four animals I used was: a pit-bull puppy, owl eyes, a raccoon tail and an avatar body. I know, I know the avatar part might not be considered an animal but I just wanted to try something different. And I used the Hollywood Boulevard background as his/her naturally environment.
