The Big Caption
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment, I took a photo from http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/ and added text to it to change the meaning of the image. The photo is a girl during her graduation who is happy, but I decided to change the message by adding the text. I used Photoshop, and got the text from this website. I was trying to come up with a more clever phrase, but couldn’t think of one!
I’m a red sox fan I swear

I looked through the images provided on the link and as a red sox fan this was easy to alter to a different message. You would think they won the game already but I decided to go with the opposite.

In the spirit of The Big Caption take any photo featured on The Big Picture and add typographical text elements in a way that changes the message. (The Big Caption) Adding text to a photograph from news agency feeds can only go in one or two ways – politics and comedy – or maybe also funny politics. Having chosen this image showing a response to the Charlie Hebdo attrocities, when people took to the streets of Paris to demonstrate their solidarity with the victims, I wasted quite a bit of time thinking about a political caption that didn’t ‘change the ...

This photo was an easy choice for me as the Quarter-finals for the World Cup are going on. Today Brazil and Colombia are playing at 4:00pm on ESPN. I found this picture on the big picture website. The link to the original picture is located on http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2014/06/2014_world_cup_goalposts_around_the_world.html. I used the native application on Apple to edit the picture. Using preview, I was able to add text to the picture. I have outlined the step in the following picture. In the text box image with the “Aa,” I added “Goal!!!” to the picture. In that same drop down menu, I was able to ...
Caption that

For my last star design assignment of the week I chose “The Big Caption,” mainly because it was one star and that’s all I needed. For this 1-star assignment all you have to do is pick a picture off of “The Big Picture” and add a typography caption so that it changes the message of the photo. I had no idea what typography was until about a week ago. I mean I’ve seen it before, but I didn’t know that’s what it was called. Though I understand what it means, I’m not really sure what I did in this picture ...
Wax Ain’t Cheap, you know

I completed the Big Caption today for another design assignment. The idea behind this one is that you take a photo from the Big Picture Web site and you recaption it so that you completely change the original meaning of the shot. The original caption on this photo: A worshipper lights a candle as she attends Sunday Mass led by Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill and Bulgarian Patriarch Maxim in Alexander Nevski cathedral in Sofia on April 29, 2012. I actually played with the styling of the thought bubble quite a bit to try and reduce the cheesiness ...

Captioned this photo with http://wigflip.com/roflbot/ for the big caption assignment http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/the-big-caption/. I taught i would just add a little humor to a pretty serious image
Merry Christmas! Love, the Zielinskis
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Meet the Zielinskis: Katarzyna, Gustav (yes, he is adopted), Jozef, Marcin, and Wanda. Every year since 1974 (When little Katarzyna was the only Ziel-baby and just 3 months old), Mrs. Zielinski gets the kids together to take the annual Christmas card photo. Every year they do something that plays on the last syllable of their surname. 1998′s toboggan themed card was a huge hit! The slalom idea Marcin suggested in 2003 ended with a great action shot but poor Wanda has been afraid to ski ever since! I wanted to do a quick little design assignment and decided to do ...
DS106 – “So you think you can dance!”

Today’s DS106 “Design” assignment is one that has a creative application in middle and senior year classes. Tim Owens submitted “The Big Caption” which he describes as: In the spirit of http://thebigcaption.com/ take any photo featured on The Big Picture (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/) and add typographical text elements in a way that changes the message. I was amazed at the wealth of powerful, newsworthy, “large format” images that were displayed on “The Big Picture” web site. Undoubtedly teachers and students studying current events need to explore this superior resource. As I viewed the various photos on this web site, I tried to ...
Playing Devil’s Advocate Through Imagery

not necessarily my own opinion, just exploring a point I have a pathological need like to argue. It’s something that I was apparently born with, as my mother insists at a very young age I was quite obviously cut out to be a lawyer. Despite my best efforts at self-monitoring and awareness of this trait, I often relapse into base level arguments when unprepared for a conversation that may challenge my viewpoints. Perhaps that’s why I was drawn to create the image above for the ds106 Big Caption assignment. While some may question the taste of the piece (it certainly doesn’t reflect ...
