there goes my weekly summary: #9

This week was radio show week part 1! We had to finalize our show idea and started making all that will need to go into it. I talk about my progress with that monstrous task here. We also had to make a design for our show which you can look at here.

For my 2 audio assignments, I made a good morning aggressors! message to inspire cheerfulness and a little bit of fear in Aggressive Tech’s loyal supporters. And my weird product ad meets 80s radio show where I truly have no explanation for how I got to the final product idea.

Daily creates below!

Day 1: #tdc4450 C D Hobbit

Turning, she found herself face to face with a hobbit. “Curiosity, little one?” she chuckled, the corners of her lips curling into a wry smile. “Care to join me?” she offered, extending the pack of cigarettes toward him. With a hesitant nod, the hobbit accepted, taking a cigarette and watching with curiosity as the witch conjured a flame with a flick of her finger. The witch couldn’t help but wonder what other adventures the letter “C” might bring into her night.

Day 2: #tdc4451 Endangered poetry!

This is a translation of a poem written by Giulia di Rocco, a Romani poet.

There is a silence.

A silence that surrounds you

Inspiring terror…

But nothing can be done

before the silence

of death

Day 3: #tdc4452 Bicycle

A bicycle with a bed attached so when you ultimately get tired of pedaling you have a proper place to rest. Don’t worry about the extra weight!

Film Fanatics & Fictional Friends

For my first audio assignment this week, I choose the Radio Bumper and put my own twist on it according to my radio show description.

My first step for this was creating a possible radio show name.

The description we have for my group is: Course character talk about pop culture/movies/tv in a talkshow/podcast type of vibe

I came up with name: Film Fanatics & Fictional Friends

The fictional friends in this case are all of our characters.

I wanted the audio in the sound to be neat, so I utilized a voice generator instead of me talking. Next, I used Pixabay for my intro and background music. The audio I used is called Big Band Show. I picked this one because it resembled almost an old time-y tv show intro and gave off fun vibes overall.

Here is my version of what could be the intro to my groups radio show!

In the beginning, the sound is very loud and out there. Then, the music turns into background sound as the actual intro is played. Finally, it picks back up and finishes out strong in hopes to get the listener enticed to what our characters have to say.

Were you all enticed?!

Four Seater Bicycle

This Daily Create is brought to you by imagination and AI! I had to redesign a bicycle with a modern feature while keeping it nature friendly of course.

For my post, I used Craiyon, an AI image generator. I gave it the following prompt: solar electric bike for four people.

It gave me the following image:

I chose to do a classic two wheel bike, except this one can SEAT FOUR people! Additionally, it uses a solar panel to operate. I think this would be great to have especially because it includes a sun shade as well. Don’t know about the safety on this but thank you Craiyon for creating this unique bicycle for not only me but some friends as well!

The Letter C

For my first Daily Create of the week, I had a bit of a weird one.

We were provided a prompt from @MagicRealismBot and had to figure out what happens next.

The provided prompt was:

A witch smokes a cigarette in a city. She is thinking about the letter “C”. There is a hobbit standing right behind her.

I continued it with the following on Mastodon:

The hobbit has a mischievous grin as he tilts his head and asks, “What secrets lie within the letter C?”

The witch becomes intrigued of his similar sense of curiosity and smiles down at the hobbit.

Later they are both spotted walking down a dark, mysterious path heading to explore the mysteries of the letter C.

My thought process for this was to keep it mysterious since the prompt itself was too. I also wanted to make the two characters amiable and adventurous. Therefore, I had the witch smile at the hobbit and they were both seen heading to explore the mysteries together.

Here’s an image on what I think the hobbit would look like:

Now what do I think is behind the letter C? Coffee of course. Both the characters are now on the way to explore the best cafe and what it has to offer.

Endangered Poetry

For my second Daily Create, I chose to have ChatGPT help me out with it since our class theme is AI.

I gave ChatGPT the following prompt: make up some really cool short poem and write it in some cool format

It generated the following:

Now here’s where I had some trouble. On my Mastodon post, I was able to paste what I had copied from ChatGPT with no problems. The format and spacing were all the same. Now when I pasted this onto here, it did not keep the same format or space so I had to manually add all the spaces. Additionally, Mastodon has a text limit so I was unable to include the entire poem on there. However, I included the entire poem on here!

I added a really cool background picture that I got from Pinterest to add some more creativity to it. It made it so much better in my opinion. The picture helps incorporate the stars and darkness as discussed in the poem and really ties it all together!

Week 9 Summery

I started on things early this week. It had quite the list.

daily create 1 of 3

Saturday, I posted the promotional poster for the radio show group I made Friday. When I was making it on Friday I sent the picture to the radio show group for thoughts. I am not the creator of Dr. Ravioli, and I wanted the creator’s thoughts. Summers approved of the cat.

Radio Ravioli Promo Poster

I had no creative thought for titles on Saturday when I did the daily create.

Daily Create 2 of 3 for week 9

On Monday I did radio show stuff. There will be a post for it linked at the end of the weekly summery. I also did this daily create.

The Daily Create 3 of 3 for wk. 9

Mid-week it was brought to my attention I put the name of our radio show out of order. It is Ravioli Radio not Radio Ravioli. I edited my poster to put the name to rights.

On Friday I did a mad scramble to finish up my projects. I started the week so strong by getting work done and out of the way too.

This was the 1st Audio Assignment I finished a fictional ad.

Everlast Pets – Fictional Ad

Then I finished my radio show summery for week one.

Radio Show Week 1

I found a way to use my second audio assignment for the radio show. I put Lady Alice’s dialog in a different order then it will be used.

Who is She Talking Too?

Well that concludes week 9.

Who is She Talking Too?

I found an audio assignment 1665 Have a Phone Conversation with Yourself. I decided to use this for Lady Alice’s part of the radio show. You get a sneak peek at the show and are left hanging on what is fully going on.

Have fun guessing what is being said on the other side of the phone.

Well, that was an interesting phone call.

An Aggressive Week – Weekly Summary

This week was all about my group’s radio show, Aggressive Testimonials. This week was busy for all of my classes, so I was worried about completing all of this. Luckily I know more about audio and photo editing than I did during the last assignment so everything went smoothly.

Here is a rundown of everything I did this week.

1. I did three daily creates.

2. I made a radio bumper, poster, and fake commercial for the show.

3. I detailed my group’s progress on developing our show.

I had a good week and I am proud of the work I did, even if I took a few shortcuts in the editing and design processes.

Developing Aggression – Radio Show Progress

This week my group worked on developing our show, Aggressive Testimonials. The involved characters are Georgia Finch (me), Andrea Grant, and Düşünür. The original pitch was, “A tell-all about this company’s intrusive tech, feauturing 2 “neutral” employees.” The idea came from the fact that Andrea and Georgia both work at and agree with Aggressive Technologies. When Düşünür was added, this idea changed slightly. Düşünür is a writer who Aggressive Technologies has been trying to hire. He does not like the company, which changes the tone of the radio show significantly from what we had originally planned.

The current thought is that Aggressive Testimonials will still be a “tell-all,” now hosted by Düşünür who is trying to get Andrea and Georgia to slip up and say something bad about Aggressive Technologies. I think this idea has the potential to be very funny and I am excited to see where we go next.
