For the last assignment of the week, I decided to make a commercial for our radio show. When our group, the Fearless Femmes, met up, we split up the work by who will do some commercials and who will do some radio bumpers. I decided to do a commercial, because I thought it would be fun to think of some ad’s that would be played in a futuristic, tech-noir world. My first thought was to do a robot helper that would help with everyday tasks. Firstly, I made a quick script, one that would grab the audience’s attention. I then used the another text-to-speech voiceover that makes it more robotic to add a voice to the Lil’ Bot Helper. Next, I found some background music that fit the vibe on Pixabay.com. Lastly, I put it all together on SoundTrap to make it sound cohesive. Out of the two assignments, this was definitely my favorite as I had a lot more creative freedom.
Radio Show Bumper
I knew for an audio assignment I would want to make a radio bumper. In my group, the Fearless Femmes, we are doing a lifestyle type radio show, where people can call in and ask questions. It will still have a futuristic vibe, as well as addressing topics that would be important in a tech-noir era. So, I knew I wanted the radio bumper to match that. First, I used a text-to-speech software called Narakeet that made the robotic voice you hear in the middle of the bumper saying, “You are listening to Cyber 75 The Vibe”. As we can see now, AI and technology are being used more and more for simple tasks 9for example in the Taco Bell drive-thru, you sometimes talk to AI to tell them your order), so I thought it would be fitting. I found the background music on Pixabay.com, with a track called Cyber Music. I then put it all together on an audio editing software called SoundTrap. It might not be used in our actual radio show, but I thought I would create one just in case we needed an extra one, as well as spark some inspiration for myself throughout the radio show project!

Prompt: What does confusion look like?
When did this become so confusing? And the TV shows being important to understand the movies is also so tough to keep up with. Very excited for Fantastic 4 though!

Prompt: St Patrick’s Day
Though I cant remember the exact time this happened, I feel like this happened to me at some point. Anyone else’s teacher completely trashed the classroom and blamed it on the leprechaun?
Story Treatment
Title: Neon Justice
Logline:
In a neon-drenched Philadelphia teetering on the edge of lawlessness, high-powered attorney Natasha Slayer takes on a career-defining drug case, only to uncover a conspiracy that puts her family, career, and life at risk. With the city’s corrupt underbelly closing in, she must navigate a world of shadowy informants, high-tech surveillance, and brutal enforcers to expose the truth—before she becomes the next target.
Act 1: The Case of a Lifetime
Philadelphia pulses with neon and the hum of constant surveillance. Crime is not just in the streets—it’s in the boardrooms, the courtrooms, and behind every closed door of power. Natasha Slayer, a formidable defense attorney, is the last honest force standing between justice and the city’s total descent into corruption.
When a mysterious client, Jaxon “Jax” Reyes, a former cartel chemist turned whistleblower, is arrested for a drug operation he swears he was framed for, Natasha is called to defend him. The case is high-profile, the media swarms, and powerful figures demand his silence. But something about Jax’s story doesn’t sit right with her—he knows too much, and someone wants him buried.
Despite warnings from her colleagues and threats that creep closer to home, Natasha digs deeper. Her husband, Evan, a tech security consultant, starts to notice their home network being probed by unidentified sources. The couple tightens security, but the deeper Natasha goes, the more dangerous the game becomes.
Act 2: The Web of Corruption
Jax gives Natasha a cryptic lead: a hidden ledger of transactions implicating not just cartel leaders but also high-ranking politicians, police brass, and corporate executives. With the help of a rogue cyber-journalist, Natasha pieces together a network known as The Veil—a syndicate that controls the city’s drug trade through legal loopholes and digital manipulation.
Her office is ransacked, her car is hacked, and anonymous threats demand she drop the case. When her closest friend and paralegal, Maya, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Natasha realizes this is no longer just about Jax—it’s about silencing the truth permanently.
With her family’s safety at risk, Natasha turns to her husband’s underground contacts—hackers, former cops, and street-level informants—to fight back. A masked enforcer known as Specter begins tailing her every move, and Natasha realizes she has become the prey.
Act 3: The Reckoning
Natasha sets a trap. Using the ledger’s encrypted files, she leaks just enough information to force The Veil into action. At a high-stakes gala filled with the city’s elite, she exposes the key players in real-time, streaming evidence across every news channel. But before she can escape, Specter and his mercenaries descend on the event, turning the ritzy affair into a bloodbath.
With only her instincts and a concealed weapon, Natasha fights through the chaos, managing to bring down Specter in a brutal, rain-soaked rooftop showdown. As sirens wail, the FBI storms in—her husband having traced and leaked The Veil’s financial dealings as a final checkmate.
In the aftermath, high-profile arrests shake the city. Jax enters witness protection, and Natasha—though victorious—is left scarred. She returns to her family, knowing that justice in this city is never black and white, but in the neon glow of the future, she will always stand her ground.

“17th March is St Patrick’s Day – a day to dress in green, drink Guinness and dance an Irish jig. how do you celebrate St Pats?”
I come from a big Irish family and even though this pic is old its a pretty good representation of how I celebrate. My mom even sent me homemade Irish soda bread today
REBEL CITY Activists
Story Time:
It’s year 3070, in a place called REBEL CITY – which is a monument to both human innovation and exploitation. The city’s skyline has a jagged silhouette against the constant hum of neon advertisements, with their colors flashing in the rain-soaked streets below. The rich resided in the sky-high towers, their lives a mix of augmented reality and corporate manipulation, while the ground-level slums festered with crime, rebellion, and forgotten dreams. Amidst this clear division, in the heart of this dark labyrinth lived three activists: Sapphria Mae, a mysterious and dangerous ex-corporate agent who went rogue and now fights against the very system she once served. Sapphria uses her looks and charm to get what she wants from adversaries and confidants; She has never heard the word “no” and doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. Veronica Malone is a hard-boiled detective and is disillusioned by the corrupt city she once swore to protect. Veronica is a no-nonsense, sharp tongued, witty, highly intelligent, street smarts type of lady. And last but definitely not least, there’s Evelyn (Lynn) Calico. She is a relentless hacker and journalist with a knack for exposing the truths that no one dared to speak about and the dirty secrets that the corporations tried to bury.
The three activists share an apartment in the downside slopes of REBEL City. Their home is a cramped loft filled with hacked terminals, blueprint sketches, and forgotten memories. It is a base of operation—a blend of old & new tech and improvised tools where they plotted to tear down the corporate empire one scandal at a time. While also being a sanctuary for their quiet rebellion against the ever-tightening grip of the megacorporation’s.
Climax:
Evelyn uncovered a chilling truth of a Hyper-Corporation, the most powerful conglomerate in REBEL City, had secretly developed a mind-control program capable of turning the city’s population into obedient slaves, controlled through neural implants and vast data manipulation. Desperate to stop the plan, the trio knew they had only one chance to stop HyperCorp’s sinister operation: they had to infiltrate the high-security central facility where the program was being finalized. Sapphria, with her lethal yet charming skills and shadowy past, led the charge to break into the heavily guarded tower, while Veronica, using her knowledge of the city’s criminal networks, provided cover and intel. Evelyn, meanwhile, was tasked with broadcasting the evidence to the public—if they couldn’t physically stop it, at least they could expose the truth. As they neared their target, the city seemed to hold its breath, knowing the stakes were higher than ever.
LONG STORY SHORT: (CONCLUSION)
In a brutal final confrontation inside the tower, Sapphria fought her way through a maze of mercenaries, her past catching up with her as she encountered former associates now turned enemies. Veronica, ever the cynic, found herself in a deadly standoff with a corrupt city official who had once been her ally. Meanwhile, Evelyn succeeded in hacking the broadcast network, only to realize that HyperCorp had one last weapon: a viral AI virus designed to wipe out any resistance. In the chaos, the trio barely escaped, but not without losses—Sapphria, gravely injured, vanished into the underworld, while Veronica was left to pick up the shattered pieces of the law, she once believed in. Evelyn, despite the risks, broadcasted the truth to the entire city, igniting a revolution that swept through REBEL City like no other. The corporate overlords were no longer untouchable, but the war for the soul of the city had only just begun, and the three roommates, though scattered and scarred, had become the catalyst for the spark that would one day burn it all down.
Prepping for week 9
This week was extremely chill, which like another classmate mentioned in their blog, it kind of gave me anxiety. I read over this weeks plan multiple times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
I was able to find my group relatively quickly. We’ve already agreed on a story line for our radio show. Our whole group of characters are Femme Fatales, so we’re going to base our show off of that and talk about random topics as our character.
I’m really excited I feel this will be more difficult then it sounds, but i’m ready for the challenge. We’ve shared contact information and we agreed to meet Monday to talk about the radio show.
One thing I’m excited about is to put a face to some of the blogs i’ve seen. I don’t know a lot of people in this class but everyone’s blogs look so cool so i’m excited to see the person behind the blog.
Here are the three daily creates I decided to do this week. They aren’t super exciting as previous weeks, but I think they’re still worth a look.
I’m super excited to get started on the radio show next week. I’ve never done anything like this so it should be a fun experience. I’m also so excited to see what everyone else comes up with. Everyone is so creative it should be fun to see the finished project of everyones radio show.
I hope you guys enjoyed, see you next week..
Sincerely, Kristen
Week 8 creates
I really enjoyed this weeks daily creates. Although they didn’t consist of a lot of creativity I still really liked the prompts.
For Tuesdays create I decided to base the quotes off of one of my favorite Ariana Grande songs “breathin”. I thought this was a really cool activity you can check it out here!
I’m not a huge coffee drinker, but when I do get coffee I go for a caramel frappe with almond milk. Recently i’ve been ordering it a lot because it’s getting to the busy part of the semester and that unfortunately means staying up late or getting up super early to get work done.
Check out here to see what I named after myself!
The final create of the week was on “pi day”. I had a feeling the create would have something to do with pi/pie and I was right.
I decided to ask Gemini to create and AI generated pie. Check it out here!
I hope you enjoy the daily creates I uploaded. I still really look forward to seeing what everyone else uploads every week. I feel like my creativity is really getting better and it’s exciting to see.
see you next week..
Sincerely, Kristen
