Looks like I’m going to be submitting my Weekly Summary a little late this week. I made a video tutorial for the DS106 Propaganda Poster. To be specific, I made a video tutorial for that assignment four times. I used a program called CamStudio to record my screen as I was making the tutorial. For some reason, if the video was more than like 5 or 6 minutes long, the program crashed while saving. I lost my work three times because of that.

(Sweet lord above that video took almost an hour to save and upload)

Hopefully that helps out the people who asked me how I made the text on the posters I’ve made look semi-real!

I made this tutorial for the ds106 Propaganda Poster project, which is a design assignment. I used the screen filming tool in QuickTime to film this; that’s a really useful thing that I’m glad I discovered. The background music is from the soundtrack of the TV show Lost. The song is called “Shambala” and it is actually kind of a slowed-down version of the song by the same name by Three Dog Night, who has been featured on my blog before.

Time to let out your inner Big Brother! Create a propaganda poster for ds106. Use your photo editing software of choice and write a message to inspire your fellow ds106ers. For example, I took a WW2 poster about increasing ammunition production, and turned it into a poster promoting tweeting.
