DS106 Mashup: Gears of Mario Welcome to my DS106 mashup assignment, Video Game Cover Mashup. “Take two existing video game covers and mash them up so that both can be identified but in a different style. Try to be creative in the title and artistic design.” The Process Wouldn’t this be an awesome game to play?! I know that this week’s DS106 assignment was supposed to explore our chosen theme, and video games are hardly related to photography, but I did have to manipulate photos! So in my opinion, it counts! First, I downloaded a picture of the Gear of ...

When I saw this one, I just knew I had to do it. As a Redditor, it’s something I often see. The assignment: Find an image of a well-known figure, add to it a famous quote by someone related in some way to the figure in the image and then attribute the quote to a third, related figure. I thought long on what to do for this assignment. You just can’t beat Gandalf as Dumbledore quoting Yoda. Movies and books are too plenty, so I started thinking about video games. Immediately, I thought of The Legend of Zelda. How many ...
Yie Ar Kung-Fu GIFs

This series of GIFs is in honor of the 1985 classic arcade game Yie Ar Kung-Fu. I’ve already written about my love for this game on the bava, so I’ll save you my usual flood of verbiage. For the record, this series of GIFs took me way too long. Each animated fighter is its own GIF, and my strategy was to beat each and every character in the game and then steal his or her image as a GIF (a double beat down) That plan went well until I got to Tonfun, then it went to hell. I kept getting ...
Animate 2600: Haunted House

I always knew Haunted House was a classic Atari 2600 game, what I didn’t know is that it inspired a whole new genre of survival horror video games! From the Wikipedia article: Haunted House is an Atari 2600 video game, first released in 1982, in which the player (represented by a pair of eyes) must navigate the haunted mansion of the late Zachary Graves to recover the three pieces of an urn. The game was one of the first home video games to feature scrolling graphics and a multi-level playing field, and has been identified as one of the earliest examples of the survival horror genre ...
Electronic Games Animated Magazine Cover
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
As soon as Jim created this assignment and seeded it with his terrific Famous Monsters of Filmland animated magazine cover, I knew I had to do it. This is cover of the first issue of the fan magazine Electronic Games published in the Winter of 1981. Nightrob has a great set of EG cover art in his Flickr stream if you’d like to see some quintessential 80′s game art. The moving 8-bit creatures are from the famous game Space Invaders, sadly I was never particularly good at that game but I love the look of the graphics. Take a listen to some sounds from ...

From Normal… …To Extraordinary! The Assignment: Transform someone from normal to extraordinary. The Process: The original prompt says to use someone else, but I decided to just use myself. So, I took a picture of myself wearing a wig to edit in Photoshop. I enlarged the eyes using the liquify tool. Then, I went to the filter gallery and used 3 filters (I forget 2 of them, but 1 was the water paper affect). Additionally, I went into lens correction and messed with the vignette setting. Afterwards, I opened it in iPhoto to adjust the contrast, definition, and sharpness a ...
