One of My Favorite People
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
When I saw that there was a 3-star assignment in which I could highlight one of my favorite people in my life, I knew I wanted to do this assignment. It took me about 2.5 seconds to decide that I would make a video about my mom. So… who doesn’t love their mom? I for one, do! Unfortunately, in June of 2009, I lost my mom after her two-month battle with cancer. I could write a book on how much I hate cancer. However, for the first twelve amazing, fun, hilarious, and adventurous years of my life, I had my ...

So… I made it! I’m so glad to be alive. I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen. I’ll never forget the people I’ve met. It’s not over yet, though! I haven’t run out of supplies yet, so here’s hoping I make it all the way through. Wherever and whenever the end really is! BEHIND THE SCENES OF THIS POST: For this assignment, I had to create a side-by-side comparison of a person, place, or thing before and after the apocalypse. I chose to use two pictures of me. I used a picture of me from a few weeks ago when ...

Saiph was welcomed to the United States with a giant billboard: For this 4 star assignment I went online to the internet and found an image of a billboard and downloaded it and saved it to a PowerPoint slide. I opened another slide and created a collage of pictures of Saiph. I then used Insert>Text Box to create the text. Highlighting each piece of text I sized them and changed the color to white. To achieve the arched lettering I used Tools Format>Text Effect>Transform>Wrap and chose the arches I was looking for. Next I held ...

Visual Assignment: Design Your own Autobiography Cover
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment I designed the cover for what would be my autobiography cover. I always thought of my life as a dark comedy and feel this cover perfectly represents that shadowy humor I hold so dear. “Design (using any programs you want) the cover of your autobiography. What pictures would you include? What would you title it? Make sure it really shows off who you are what you want your audience to see in you by the cover.”-Submitted by: Randomriter (Bridgette Metzinger) Related articles “A Compilation of Mini-Biographies of Various Yogis” (rollingwithvishnu.wordpress.com) DS106 Visual Assignment- Album Cover (mcds106.wordpress.com)
Visual Assignment- Alternative Book Cover: Fifty Shades of Grey
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I had a little fun with this assignment. The idea, take a well known book cover and redesign it to mean something completely different. I decided to play on the flip flop nature of Mitt Romney by creating this alternative cover to Fifty Shades Of Grey. “Take a title of a well-known book and re-design the cover to suggest something entirely different. For example, the book cover for Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (an apocalyptic novel about a father and son facing the end of the world) is reframed as a feel-good book about effective parenting (see image). Original idea found ...
Visual Assignment-Unlikely Intersections
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
My family and I laugh every time we pass this corner. Right down the street from my house in Inwood, Manhattan. I seriously wonder if these streets were named by a secret trickster, because this is too much of a coincidence. Though it would be weirder if the signs were reversed. Think about it!! http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/unlikely-intersections/ “Take a photograph of a street sign showing the intersection of two names not likely to meet. No photoshopping, it has to be real! Keep noticing what is around you.”-Submitted by: CogDog Related articles Sign Theft: A Surprisingly Dangerous Felony (smartsign.com)
