_cokwr: Take a portrait of a total stranger each day for 7 days. Try to capture their image in a way that gives the viewer a deeper understanding of the person. Write a little about how you approached the person and what you learned about them. This assignment is part photography challenge but the harder part, in my opinion, is forcing yourself to interact with strangers in a fairly personal way. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.dannyst.com/shooting-portraits-of-strangers/, _chk2m: Tom, _ciyn3: 29, _ckd7g: VisualAssignments29, _clrrx: VisualAssignments, _cztg3: VisualTutorials29

_cokwr: So I wanted to submit a new visual assignment. All of us, most of us anyways, have a dream car. This is a simple assignment. Take a picture, or find a picture on the web of a car that you love. Then, write a description of how that car make you feel. That's it. Short and simple. This combines the visual of a car, with the story telling aspect, of how an object make you feel. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://blog.mg79mkiv.info/?p=239, _chk2m: MG79MKiV, _ciyn3: 123, _ckd7g: VisualAssignments123, _clrrx: VisualAssignments, _cztg3: VisualTutorials123

_cokwr: Find your name in the environment around you. Look for your first name, parts of your first name, or even the individual letters that make up your name in the environment around you.

_cokwr: Write and illustrate (photograph, sketch, video sample, etc) a two panel story that describes a change of emotion. For example. Panel 1: A man receives some suprising news about a loved one. Panel 2: He is deeply saddened. Panels can contain simple captions or annotation. Extra points if the emotional change is a 'mixed emotion'., _cpzh4: Visual, _chk2m: rowan_peter, _ciyn3: 19, _ckd7g: VisualAssignments19, _clrrx: VisualAssignments, _cztg3: VisualTutorials19

_cokwr: Badges are everywhere, right. On policemen and women, in the gaming world, in the movies. Well, here is your chance to make a badge for our ds106 world. How does one earn a badge you might ask? Well, in ds106 we like to just do it to ourselves. We are a rather self-indulgent lot. Make 'em and pin 'em!, _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://awindowisatthecenter.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/cigs.gif, _chk2m: Todd Conaway, _ciyn3: 169, _ckd7g: VisualAssignments169, _clrrx: VisualAssignments, _cztg3: VisualTutorials169

_cokwr: We think of creation as addition, but there is a form of creation by deletion (e.g. Newspaper Blackout poetry http://newspaperblackout.com/) In this assignment, you need to change, alter, enhance the meaning of a sign by cropping out parts of it. This should be doing in camera, but could also be done in post- crop out, but do not photoshop in any extras. Also, be sure to describe in you caption or blog post what the original sign said. For the example below, the sign said "No Canada Tennis Parking" but by removing the last word, it makes it sound more like a radical anti-tennis call for action., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cogdog/5677012243/, _chk2m: cogdog, _ciyn3: 129, _ckd7g: VisualAssignments129, _clrrx: VisualAssignments, _cztg3: VisualTutorials129
