“I Can Read Television: Free Man 2″ by aforgrave on Flickr I like the “I Can Read Movies” Design Assignment 55. It’s fun to try to capture a movie (or television show) with a cover image as well as imagine the design of an old paperback book. The Basics This book cover is based on the Spacesick’s Jurassic Park rendering — I liked the black background and roughed edges for my Prisoner book. I font matched the “I Can Read Movies font on whatfontis.com with a close match Zona Pro, and used that to re do “I Can Read Movies” ...
Everyone changes in The Village: a #prisoner106 design assignment

The Village library is full of some entertaining and suspenseful reads. It’s important to have hobbies and materials that keep our minds busy. We recently had several donations of “I Can Read” books all from different Community members. Cataloging new arrivals in The Village library Odd. I picked up The Schizoid Man and thumbed through it. I’ll add it to the collection despite the worn and torn book cover. Beggars can’t be choosers, amirite? How I did it: Several Village dwellers created some impressive book covers from scratch. I took the “creative edit approach” as The Village psychiatrist calls it. ...

One of the assignments for design week for #prisoner106 was to do the “I can read movies” assignment. I have tried this one before, when I first started doing DS106 back in 2013; this was one of the first things I did in GIMP (not the very first, but I wasn’t that used to GIMP before I tried it). It nearly killed me. I spent all week on that one assignment, and came out with something that only looked sort of like I wanted. The basic design was pretty right on, but it didn’t turn out how I wanted it ...

“A reasonable alternative is to complete a piece that incorporates two different assignments for a sum total of 4 or more Credit Units.” So I did the ‘I can read movies assignment’ and ‘the one story 4 icons’ assignment in one cover. The electricity in my tree house is on for another week as I am clocking 6 Credit units and another 2 for the extra hard work to combine two assignments into one. Although to be fair, I took this on thinking it would be easier than doing two. The new number two is clever with words. A reasonable alternative, indeed. ...
Many Happy Returns: The Book
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Many Happy Returns I made the basic image for this book in GIMP a few days ago, using a clip from the “Many Happy Returns” episode of The Prisoner (near the end). Most of the text I created in Word, converted to pdf, and opened as layers, positioned and sized, and anchored (or merged). I do this because I still haven’t figured out why GIMP doesn’t correctly display the Village font. The quote under the title refers to the ease of reading the text, as well as the lack of dialogue in the episode. Once I made the book cover, ...
Episode Book Cover – Hammer Into Anvil

Design Assignment for Week 4 Out of the two choices of the “to do” assignments – I chose the book cover recreating the aesthetic of Spacesick . My first thought was the Dance of the Dead episode and having multiple skeletons, a sample was too close to that content and swaying me in replicating instead of creating. While the look and feel is replicated – the process did require using design components to create. Space, form, size, color, place, text. I used PhotoShop as my tool. Paper size canvas – black Brush – Sponge edges highlight then go back in with background color to ...
prisoner106: Book Cover Assignment

Although my favorite writer of books about TV shows is the inimitable Peggy Herz of “All About Rhoda” and “The Truth About Fonzie” fame, Paul W. Fairman, of the Partridge Family novels, is a close second. He also wrote pulp Science Fiction and novelizations of the “That Girl” TV series. We would order such books from the Scholastic Bookclub at school. I read three Partridge Family novels in a row one summer in the 5th grade, and afterwards, I think I was the youngest person in my grammar school to be filled with a sense of existential dread and a ...

Pulpnight Sun This project was a little tricky, because I had to play with the layers and the smudge tool a lot in order to maintain the aesthetic of the original design. I found the sun online and just layered one on top of the other. I couldn’t the font for the title how I wanted it, but you can’t always get what you want. So, submitted for your approval, The Midnight Sun Pulp Novel.
“I can read tv” book cover–Time Enough at Last (ds106zone)

For the second week of ds106zone, the Summer 2013 edition of ds106, we were working in part on design assignments. I had a few ideas of things I wanted to do, but only managed to get one thing done because it took me so long. I decided to take on a difficult assignment, knowingly, because I wanted to force myself to learn about more things in GIMP to do it. That definitely worked–the learning about stuff part. The final product is not quite what I wanted, but it’s pretty close, which I’m happy about. I thought about doing the “Wait, ...
