For today’s daily create I created a trading card of Leo Storm, my created AI character. The stats I gave him are based on his real-life abilities and skills. As you can see Leo has overall decently good stats. After all he is good at what he does as an engineer. Hope y’all enjoy!
For today’s daily create I had to write about the funniest thing that comes up when you search DS106. This is what I found the funniest thing to be after I looked this up on Microsoft Edge. Hope you guys enjoy and get a good kick out of this.
For this assignment we had to listen to one of our classmates’ radios show they created. I decided to listen to Pop Perceptive. Pop Perceptive looks into the AI side of Superheroes. The first that caught my attention was the music used. It was eye catching, and it was catchy, making the show fun and interesting as well as fun to follow along. Another thing I liked was the beginning conversation between the host and Jarvis. It really captured the feeling of a radio show or podcast vibe. Going back to the music aspect of the show, I really like the use of the same music throughout the show. It gives it a nice flow and ties the show together nicely. Another element I enjoyed was the voice change in the show. It gave an AI feel to the show as the host was explaining her section of the show. Really nice touch to the show, definitely a creative way of using AI. The conclusion at the end of the show was a great add, as it brought the whole show together. Overall, this show was put together very well, I was intrigued throughout the whole show and was eager to hear the next section of the show. The show kept getting more interesting as the music kept me on my toes and created more suspense to what was coming next. I would definitely listen to another show made by them. Let me know your thoughts about Pop Perceptive, if you attended the listening. Are they similar or different?
For today’s daily create I had to create an old Dutch tile with a one liner on the tile. For my one liner I decided to choose the phrase ” Be Happy”. I chose this because I believe everyone in life should be happy, no one deserves to be depressed or sad. Hope you enjoy!
As this week comes to an end, I look back at what I accomplished as well as what my group accomplished. For starters we completed our radio show. We worked really hard on this project, and I think the finished product shows for our efforts. We used many different applications to create our show. We used Pixabay.com to find music for our radio bumpers, we used elevenlabs.io to write our script for the radio bumpers, and we used both of these applications for our intro and outro. We used Audacity as our main application for recording our radio show. We recorded all of our parts in Audacity, as well as uploaded all of our radio bumpers, intros, outros, and commercials. Over the course of DS106 I have begun to really like using Audacity. It is simple to navigate and can create a lot of unique recordings that I never imaged I could create on my own. Overall, I think the project went smoothly and there wasn’t much trouble/conflict. The only “trouble” we had was just rerecording what we were going to say because we messed up or forgot what we were going to say. I think our final product is great and is definitely worth taking a listen to. Besides the radio show we had two daily creates to complete. I would have to say my favorite of the two I completed was the one about my least favorite chore. Everyone has that one chore they don’t like doing at all. Mine least favorite is doing the dishes. To make doing the dishes go by quicker me and my brother race to see who can do the dishes the fastest and the fast time is the winner. By doing this we get create a fun game out of doing something we both don’t like doing and it gets the chore done at the same time. Overall, this week was a little stressful with the radio show, but it was a fun and memorable experience completing it. Until next time!
I decided to wait till after I completed my radio show to write this progress blog. The reason I did that was I wanted to blog about my whole experience with the project. I also wanted to focus on getting it completed and turned in on time. Now let’s get into my experience of this project. For starters working with my group was a pleasure, everyone did their part, and everyone communicated with one another. We had no conflicts with each other and worked diligently to complete our project in a timely manner. Looking at the radio show itself; we used Audacity to record our whole show. We had no issues with the application. We uploaded all of our different radio bumpers, intros, outros, and commercials to Audacity. From there it was a matter of just editing the recording session to blend all the different elements of radio show into one unison recording. I will admit the only thing our group struggled with was recording what we were going to say. We had to restart many times because we messed up our lines. This made me realize how hard it is to record radio shows or any type of audio and the process that goes into it to make it perfect. Other than that, I would say our radio show was a success. I can’t wait for you guys to hear it; I think you’ll enjoy it.
For today’s daily create I am going to talk about my least favorite chore to do. My least favorite chore is washing the dishes because it takes a long time. A game me and my brother play to help get over doing the dishes is we time each other to see who can clean them the fastest. Fastest time is the winner. Hope you enjoyed this short explanation of my least favorite chore and a game I play to help with it.
For today’s daily create I am ruining a book title by changing a single letter of the title. The book I am choosing to use is Moby Dick. Instead, the new title is Moby Sick. This new novel is about Captain Ahab’s adventure to discover why Moby is sick and what is causing his sickness. The captain goes through great lengths to study Moby’s behavior. The end of the novel is quite shocking, you don’t want to miss it.
As I look back at the week the first thing that stands out to me is the progress my group has made on the radio show. We have a couple of radio bumpers and introductions ready to pick from to incorporate in our radio show. All of our radio bumpers and introductions were made on audacity. We also talked about including ads in our show. We haven’t recorded anything yet, but our plan is to lay out all of our information we are going to talk about. Each person in the group is going to talk about their character and their day in the life as we all have different types of characters. Our plan is to use Audacity to record all our radio show. Audacity has been a great tool and I’ve started to like t more and more each time I use it. Creating the logo for the show was fun and interesting. Using design.com I messed around with numerous different color schemes, design layouts, etc… As far as weekly creates go my favorite would have to be todays daily create. I enjoyed creating a new design for a bicycle. I wanted to give my new design a futuristic look. Overall, this week was a lot of planning and prepping for next week. I am looking forward to next week. Until next time!
For our design we wanted to have a simple design with bold colors. We went with the number three as our center piece because we have three members in our radio show. The red needle is symbolizing the red needle you would see in an old fashion radio. To create our logo design, I used design.com. I added our radio show name, and it generated a couple designs. What you see above is what I believe represents our show the best.
