NFT Digital Art
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 230 views.
Using Adobe Photoshop, create an avatar or some sort of character. Next, design or clip different accessories/features onto different layers. Group the accessories into categories (for example: I used hats, glasses, different mouths, and different backgrounds- so each would it's own layer and grouped accordingly.) Finally, download the photoshop composition composer master file from the internet (JXS file) and run the script. From there it will generate as many variations as possible. Tutorial link for the script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z99COgONYQ
Nike Run GPS Map Art

Have you ever looked at a GPS map of your run? It looks like a bunch of... well nothing. The objective of this assignment is to make "running art." Download the Free Nike Run app on your smart phone. Then go for a run (any length of run will do) and try your best to create a GPS image of where you ran. It can be as simple (heart, star, etc) or as you want or as crazy. You can try looking at the roads on Google Maps before going running to decide what image you are going to create. ...
Personal Search Engine
So far, 5 people have completed this assignment and it has 2121 views.
Create your own search engine! Make it personal, funny, interesting. I recommend using either x-ray goggles, or firebug through firefox. The downside of using firebug is that it is more difficult to use, easier to loose your work, and you have to download firefox and firebug. So I strongly recommend using X-ray goggles. You simply drag it into your bookmarks and start editing. When you are finished click publish, and copy the url that it generates for you.
Pop Quiz!
So far, 13 people have completed this assignment and it has 3016 views.
Using a free online quiz service (I used PollSnack), create a quiz that shows off your knowledge of a particular story. Try to make it interesting enough through the questions you choose and the way you phrase your answers that someone taking the quiz is able to see that there's a larger narrative informing the questions. Your quiz should have at least three outcomes and at least five questions.

Count the number of open source programs you are using on your computer today. How many commercial software programs could be replaced with free and open source alternatives. I counted 4 commercial products on my system. If you need to, use a browser to get a list of open source programs which are available in place of commercial software. Think about the words "open", "community", "cooperation", compare them to the words "share", "like", "social data". How do they compare. Where could these concepts ultimately end up. What media are you using that compromises your personal data, count the programs and ...
Profiles of ds106 Super Heroes
So far, 3 people have completed this assignment and it has 2833 views.
Select a profile of a Marvel comic character and rewrite the web page to build a super hero character our of someone involved in ds106. The easiest way to do this is to save the source of the web page as an html file, and either use the BASE HREF tag in the header for the root of the URL or to update the image links to be full URLs. Then rewrite the content to more match the persona you are satirizing. See the example of Bava Mather based on Cotton Mather
Remix Guinness Book of World Records

Remix a Guinness Book of World records web page. Pick any record you want and somehow remix it. Try and connect it to a story, and add some background inspiration into your idea for inspiration. Maybe it was the record you always wanted to set, or break. Or maybe it fits perfectly into a story you are creating. How ever it fits be creativ and have fun with it. I would recommend using X-Ray Goggles, to rewor the webpage, it is very simple and allows you to do a lot, and then publish the page.
Significant Objects
So far, 2 people have completed this assignment and it has 2058 views.
"Significant Objects, a literary and anthropological experiment devised by Rob Walker and Joshua Glenn, demonstrated that the effect of narrative on any given object’s subjective value can be measured objectively." The project involved finding low cost objects at garage sales and thrift stores and creating stories about them that might enhance their value, as proven in auctions on eBay. See if you can replicate a web page of the same kind that includes both the artifact, a story, and make it look like some kind of auction site.

Have you seen him? Chiweenie 2015-2021 From the Pawboost alert you can visualize the story that we've been searching for our four pawed friend.

If you have a lost a loved one you have the ability to recreate their image by sharing a photo through this digital storytellin way. See how the community and the rest of the class reacts to a sentimental post, they keep removing my assignment, Or I really don't know ...
Storytelling Within the Web
So far, 105 people have completed this assignment and it has 7237 views.
From the Spring 2011 ds106 class came the idea of changing up an existing web page to tell a new story " you will be intervening in the code and design of a website of your choice to tell a story. You are not to photoshop the design of the site, but rather intervene in the actual html and CSS of the site—though you can photoshop particular images on the site. Essentially you alter the content of a web page (content, images) to make it tell a new story. Originally we recommended doing this using the Firebug extension in the ...
