Another fun assignment I found in the bank was the Name that Single assignment. In this one, you use a simple design to describe the name of the song and your readers have to guess what it is! It sounded like it would be entertaining and not too difficult. I decided to try something new for this design and use Canva because I wanted more color than The Noun Project offers. I knew that this would be a good assignment to apply the 80’s theme to. Even though I know a lot of 80’s songs already, I always have to ...

This is another 2 star assignment that finishes my week with 16.5 stars! I had to make a design representing a song without writing any words. I made this using Pixlr.com to represent one of my favorite songs, Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine. This is actually three stock images lined up against each other in separate layers. I cut them out to fit together in this way using the cutout tool. It was really tricky trying to cut them all out nicely to fit this way. This song is very ethereal and beautiful. It compares lots of aspects ...

One of our ds106 crew had the brilliant idea to put an 80s twist on the Name That Single assignment, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I wonder if we can make a trend out of this. I didn’t know what to do, so I googled “1980s hit songs” and got a selection of links to videos. My first thought was to take the opportunity to do a rickroll, but I couldn’t think of a way to visualize “Never Gonna Give You Up.” But another song on the list gave me an idea, and it had GIF potential. ...

For my final design assignment, I chose to do “Name That Single” (2 stars): Create a design for a favorite song by using just simple designs and NO WORDS…Basically a design assignment with the rules in charades. I decided to use the song I’ve been listening to non-stop for the past week. I’ll let you look at the image before I say what it is! I knew I wanted to make an image of a man walking down the road, so I looked up stick figures, and found this unique, sketched one. Then I looked up a picture of a road: Uploaded ...
What Song?

I picked this design assignment because I love music. I picked one of my favorite songs that is by a female country singer (hint). Even though I don’t think I am that good at drawing, I tried my best and since it is one object that describes the song, I picked the most prevalent thing. I even quizzed my mom and she guessed right! I did have a sign to go along with it, but when I reread the description it said no words, so I took that out.

While browsing through the design assigments of the ds106 assignment bank, I found an assignment called Name That Single! Worth 2 stars, this activity was to create a design for a favourite song without using words. So, basically charades but ds106 style! I thought of a lot of songs I loved, but they wouldn’t have been easy to make a design out of. Instead, I chose an easier one (I think) that is still one of my favourites. I found the photo on Google from here, which I then saved to my computer and opened with Picnik via Picasa. Using the ...
Name That Single

This assignment is an interesting one because you have to guess the song from the design. So like charades for DS106! This was cool to think about what song to design for. At first I thought it would be funny to do another Adele song, I thought Set Fire to Rain would be fun to try to design, but I wanted to try something new. So here is what I created: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurstray20/8065096508/in/photostream I’ll give you a few hints: the thumbs ok is more contextual not really literal, that’s a certain kind of insect that loves honey, and the singer of ...

SO can you Guess The single? Ill give you a Hint its By a band called Mogwai. The process for making this is fairly simple, finding 3 images and combining them through using the quick select tool in Photoshop and magic wand tool to select the parts I wanted and attaching them to the rest. along with setting the opacity to a lower level for the cat eyes and and using layering effects such as multiply. to allow for translucency and setting up a Chanel mixer layer to adjust color.
