How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I made this demo for my students to show them Audacity and basic editing for the Sound Effects Story assignment: Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you […]
Long live Don LaFontaine… whose voice appeared in some 5000 movie trailers and 350,000 (? really?) commercials. You know him as soon as you hear him. Well, here is a new ds106 audio assignment for you, Use the Voice, bring The Voice to something around you: Don LaFontaine was legendary for hos deep voiceover intros […]
This past week’s Daily Creates
I seemed to have done more this week with my iPhone camera than my DSLR, and dod a bit more experimenting or playing with 2 apps – PhotoGene for editing and ToonCamera for making cartoon effects.
ds106 Propaganda posters— they seem to be calling from many places; I came across a great collection at Shorpy (another mint archive for visuals from the past). Hence a warning poster about ds106: This one was rather easy to work with- the original poster was a warning against the dangers of syphilis: The backgrounds of […]
BAGMAN may be running for president, but you should know of his leftist leaning ways formed from his Woodstock days Yes, even in 1969 the brown acid bagman was #4life (one more ds106 assignment Hey Wait Where’d That Guy Come From?)
After seeing a tweet for these retro Russian propaganda posters I could not resist one more ds106 poster: Best I can sort out, this means “GLORY DS106”. Glory indeed.
Some might say that MAD magazine is not a comic, but I went for an animated version anyhow for the Animated Comic Cover ds106 assignment: I saw this cover of Alfred E Neumann and ET and felt like they might me a love match for each other, so they gaze at each other with affection […]
It’s hard to resist a good ds106 assignment submitted by a student- such as the ds106 Propaganda Posters by Daniel Zimmerman (who is taking zero prisoners in this class) 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 […]
I’ve been daunted by the ds106 Spreadsheet Invasion assignment where you are charged with creating an animation using the software designed for… sales reports, etc. It is, ironically, the first Design Assignment. And one that is least frequently done. But thankfully, it was my student Tiffany who undertook it bravely in her Tale of a […]
BAGMAN NOW!
It is about time we had a Bag in Charge we can trust, which is why I am on board to elect BAGMAN for President! My contibution is this campaign poster for the ds106 assignment BAGMAN Campaign Poster.
Although not of the same political ilk, I was compulsed to reach back for another unlikely candidate, Richard Nixon in 1960:
I found this at the Learn California site which has info on the Nixon Campaign:
As radio and television gained popularity with the voting public in the 1940s and 1950s, image and media exposure became increasingly important to waging successful campaigns. Companies subsequently sprang up across the nation offering campaign management services. Richard Nixon hired two of the most preeminent and innovative of these companies to run his California campaigns for his 1960 presidential bid.
I did this one in Photoshop CS5- some of this might not have been easily done in GIMP, but some of the principles should. Here’s how…
